Energy Drink Ingredients

Energy drink consumption will differ based on individual tastes, preferences, and needs. When you're looking to energize and refuel your body, the last thing you want to worry about is the adverse effect of a harsh crash later on.

Find the best balance to support your health and fitness goals with your favorite flavors of low-sugar energy drinks featuring some of the following high-quality, energy-enhancing ingredients:

• Creatine

  Creatine monohydrate can support high-intensity exercise performance, muscle strength, muscle mass, and endurance by helping to enhance cellular levels of phosphocreatine (CrP), a critical component of cellular energy production, or ATP.

• Caffeine

  Caffeine is a stimulant that's often relied on to encourage alertness, productivity, and wakefulness. A caffeinated beverage can provide an energy shot to a healthy adult.

  A caffeinated energy drink featuring healthy caffeine content levels offers similar benefits as a cup of coffee. Energy drinks containing similar milligrams of caffeine as your morning cup of Joe can help you decide what’s right for you.

• BCAAs

  Branched-chain amino acids are used to support energy metabolism and help feed and nourish your muscles. BCAAs are a common pre- and post-workout staple because they assist with muscle protein synthesis, growth, and recovery.

• Vitamins, Nutrients, and Minerals

  Many types of energy drinks are packed with important vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that can enhance your body's ability to sustain and create its own energy. B vitamins, taurine, and ginseng are common ingredients in many of the energy and sports drink options at The Vitamin Shoppe.

• Carbohydrates

  The body uses carbs to produce the essential energy molecule glucose. Pre-workout energy drinks with higher amounts of carbohydrates can provide an extra boost of energy to burn off during exercise, but unused glucose will be stored for future use.

• CoQ10

  Coenzyme Q10 is found in every cell in your body. Consumption of energy drinks with CoQ10 is particularly popular with athletes, as they can take advantage of the energy-producing and antioxidant properties found in these drinks.

• Potassium

  Potassium is an essential mineral found in lots of fruits and vegetables. Potassium helps to encourage healthy muscle function and recovery after rigorous exercise.

  Many of the energy drinks found at The Vitamin Shoppe contain these helpful ingredients and more. Be sure to look at the nutrition label and list of ingredients on your energy drink of choice to know exactly what you’re putting in your body.

Picking the Right Energy Drink

The effects of energy drinks can vary, so consider their calorie, sodium, and sugar percentages before consuming. Because people may react differently to the effects of caffeine and sugar, vitamin drinks without high amounts of caffeine or added sugar may be the right choice for you. Healthy energy drinks have beneficial carbs, vitamins, and minerals that your body needs to perform, with limited amounts of added sugar.

You should also consider any dietary restrictions or preferences that you have when selecting an energy drink. Our selection of energy and vitamin drinks includes sugar-free, vegetarian, gluten-free, non-GMO, low-carb, and other options for specialty diets.
