Abstract:

The paper gives data on energy drinks and the history of their emergence in the world and Russia. It describes consumer expectations about the product and also depicts the typical portrait of a consumer of energy drinks in Russia. The market of energy drinks is assessed. The composition and properties of the components of energy drinks are medically represented in detail. The effects of components, such as sucrose, caffeine, taurine, glucuronolactone and others, on the organism are analyzed. The physiological requirements for all components are given. The composition of the most common energy drinks is described.
