ingredients like B Vitamins, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-935\/guarana#:~:text=Guarana%20(Paullinia%20cupana)%20is%20a,system%2C%20heart%2C%20and%20muscles.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guarana<\/a>, ginseng, taurine, and amino acids in which you can&rsquo;t find in sodas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy drinks also have high amounts of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/caffeine-side-effects\" target=\"_blank\">caffeine<\/a> and sugar. And they&rsquo;re marketed as energy enhancers, improve mental and physical performance, and reduce fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&rsquo;re also known as dietary supplements due to their taurine and amino acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, sodas are beverages that don&rsquo;t contain alcohol and are typically carbonated. It contains natural and artificial flavorings, acids, and sweeteners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And caffeine-wise, they have a smaller amount compared to energy drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since energy drinks and sodas have caffeine and sugar, some people are confused about the difference between the two beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sodas and Energy drinks are not on the same shelf in almost all supermarkets. They have their sections and are separated from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some countries, even minors, sodas are safe to consume. While energy drinks are strictly not allowed to sell to children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Energy_Drinks_And_Sodas_Have_The_Same_Ingredients\"><\/span>Do Energy Drinks And Sodas Have The Same Ingredients?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Energy drinks and sodas contain similar ingredients.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The typical ingredients in energy drinks are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>caffeine<\/li><li>guarana<\/li><li>taurine<\/li><li>amino acids<\/li><li>sugar<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/153188#:~:text=Electrolytes%20are%20chemicals%20that%20conduct,electric%20tissues%E2%80%9D%20of%20the%20body.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">electrolytes<\/a><\/li><li>B vitamins<\/li><li>herbal extract (ginseng, green tea)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While sodas contain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>carbonated water<\/li><li>edible acids<\/li><li>sugars<\/li><li>high fructose sugar syrup (HFCS)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caffeine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sodas and energy drinks both have caffeine. Sodas like a can of coke typically have 12mg of caffeine. At the same time, Energy drinks range from 50mg to 300mg of caffeine per serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, too much caffeine can lead to unwanted <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/caffeine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adverse effects,<\/a> such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>restlessness<\/li><li>shakiness<\/li><li>insomnia<\/li><li>headaches<\/li><li>dizziness<\/li><li>rapid or abnormal heart rhythm<\/li><li>dehydration<\/li><li>dependency<\/li><li>anxiety<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And to avoid suffering from those adverse effects, it would be best to follow the recommended daily <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much\" target=\"_blank\">caffeine intake<\/a>, which is 400mg per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sugar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sugar makes energy drinks and sodas addictive and tasty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excessive sugar consumption is not suitable for your health.
