Is it bad to drink four or five rockstar energy drinks daily? I really like them, I know they can't be good for me...but they do have some herbs like guarana, etc, so they can't be 100% wrong. Would it be bad to drink like four or five of these daily? Worse, or better than drinking a similar amount of coca cola daily?
When you consume that much caffeine daily you increase the amount of adenosine receptors in your body.
Adenosine is what makes you feel tired, and caffeine blocks adenosine making you not tired.
However, with the increase in adenosine receptors you are more susceptible to adenosine.
Complete tolerance to sleep disruption effects of caffeine develops after consuming 400 milligrams of caffeine 3 times a day for 7 days.
Rockstar contains 140 milligrams of caffeine per serving (2 per can) and 200 milligrams of guarana per serving (2 per can), which is caffeine from the the guarana plant.
So that is 640 milligrams of caffeine per can. So 1 can a day is enough to cancel the effects on tiredness of caffeine.
Caffeine does not actually give energy it only temporarily reduces the effects of tiredness.
Caffeine is not all bad though, it does improve brain and body functionality.
The optimal dosage of caffeine is about 9 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight.
It takes 3 to 4 hours for these levels to reduce to half in the body.
no enery drinks are not so much bad for you as more of a nutrient alternative but your body does not get used to them.DRINKING 4 OR 5 a day causes short term damage such as groggness,dehydration gitters,restlessness,shaking,paranoia and not to mention the suger and calories so you should only drink 1 or 2 a day and no more
drinking that ammount could be very dangerous to be honest, I drank that ammount just the other day, it is putting toxins into the body in some way and is also leaving you a little bit less dehydrated in the long run.
There is nothing wrong with it. It does have an incredible amount of sugar and caffeine, though. So if you are sensitive then you might want to cut down. I drink about six rock stars a day myself.
They can't be that good for you, honestly. From reading this discussion: http://www.funadvice.com/q/arerockstarenergydrinksgood_for they sound like they might be a bit worse than coffee.
I think I have drank so many of them that your system becomes ammune to them nothing happens to me anymore I used to get jittery but now I just feel awake and I drink sometimes 4 or 5 a day
o wow let me know if you figer that one out cuz i do the same
