Rockstar XDurance has 300% DRV of B6 per can.
Monster Energy has 300% DRV of B6 and B12 per can.
If you can't feel 300% DRV of B vitamins, you'd be able to see them when your pee turns a fluorescent yellow color.
B vitamins hold the distinction of being very safe for consumption even to very high levels.
B6 has an upper recommended limit of 10mg/day for an average person and has been shown to have no appreciable adverse effects at dosages up to 100mg/day.
B12 has been found to show no toxic affects at even ridiculously high dosages (milligram dosages for what is normally measured in micrograms).
For reference, 5 hour energy contains 40mg (2000% DRV) of B6 and 500mcg (8333% DRV) of B12. I don't recommend drinking any more than 2 of those a day if you want to maintain a functional liver.
B vitamins can have a substantial stimulant effect, as they are known to moderate cell energy production, fatty acid synthesis, and DNA synthesis.
Stimulants are usually associated with improved performance in attention-requiring tasks and reaction speed. It probably does help you play a bit better, although how much better than caffeine alone is still questionable.
the rdi's etc are completely useless and fradulent, theyre way, way, WAY too low and based on dinosaur age old science. they'd be ok if they where 10x the amount for most nutrients except for certain minerals, copper in particular.
and the body cant use the b vitamins unless you have a good balance of the other nutrients, including non-essential ones and nutrients not yet discovered. unless youre on a good diet supplements won't do jack **** as far as therapeutic/energy effects go.
i eat 4500 mgs of niacin a day, thats the kind of doses you have to eat if you want to get an effect beyond just maintaning the minimum amount of what everybody needs. I eat 250 mgs of b6 a day which i consider low, 3000 mgs of vitamin c, 2 50-b complex pills, etc etc. i off course eat zinc aswell due to taking so much b6, and everybody needs to eat zinc supplements anyway since we get way to much copper these days.
b vitamins does not hurt the liver, this is also a myth based on dinosaur age science. the various junk flavorings/colorings in energy drinks however will ****ing **** your liver.
the niacin used in the old study that "proved" that niacin hurts the liver actually contained nicotine.
certain supplements can cause an imbalance of nutrients in the body, but as long as you take the right combination of supplements and eat a good diet you're safe.
10/10 you will feel MUCH better after a home cooked meal (hell, a sandwich will do the trick) and a bunch of water rather than a ****ty energy drink. unless food poisoning is a factor. then you're screwed.
LMFAO is a ****ing SANDWICH considered "good" by flopmerican standards? i hope for the sake of humanity you are trolling. although flopmericans are the ones that will suffer from this, so i actually enjoy it.
flopmericans eat nothing but white bread which is almost as bad as pure sugar, your cheese is colored with toxic chemicals, ham and **** like that is atrociously bad for your health. ham etc is based on atrocious non ecological meat and filled with junk like toxic flavor enhancers and tons of sugar. you wont get ANYWHERE NEAR enough protein and vegs/fruit, and youll get WAY to much short carbohydrates. sandwiches are great if you want to **** up your blood sugar, get malnourished, get uneven energy levels, get obese, diabetes and get sick.
LMFAO SANDWICHES ARE HEALTHY HURR DURR BWAHAHAHA
the withdrawal symptoms of energy drinks mentioned in a few posts above are mainly just low blood sugar which will never get better unless you start eating long carbohydrates. which pretty much isnt sold anywhere in flopmerica lol.
