You'll Be Shocked After Reading This... > With the National Day holiday approaching, many are planning leisure activities, but some may still be working late. This article explores the effectiveness of common energy drinks, based on netizens' experiences. The refreshing effects come from caffeine, taurine, B vitamins, and menthol, and drinks are ranked by their potency. Another National Day holiday is here. Have you already planned your schedule? Usually busy with work, now you finally have time to binge-watch shows or watch sports; however, some may still be burning the midnight oil at work. So energy drinks might help you perk up, but how effective are the common ones on the market? Let's look at the answers from netizens who have tried them. The refreshing function of beverages mainly comes from three aspects: one is the stimulating effect of substances like caffeine and tea polyphenols; two is the metabolism-accelerating effect of taurine and B vitamins; three is the physical refreshing effect of substances like menthol. According to the strength of the refreshing effect, beverages can be divided into the following levels. **Beginner Level: Jinliang, Mizone, Scream, etc.** Mizone, Scream, etc. mainly contain vitamins, but in moderate amounts. They are good for recovery after exercise but have almost no refreshing effect. Jinliang contains a little tea polyphenol, which is basically useless, but each bottle has 100mg of menthol, which can provide a physical refreshing effect. Drinking this after coffee or Red Bull can make you very alert. **Normal Level: Various Colas, Green Tea, Coffee** This level only provides a basic refreshing effect, and you'll feel sleepy by 1 or 2 AM. Let's get straight to the data! Caffeine content in various drinks: Green tea 30-50mg/235ml; Black tea 47mg/235ml; Instant coffee 62mg/235ml; Freshly ground coffee 95mg/235ml; Cola 35mg/350ml. It's clear that coffee is the real refresher. Tea is hard to judge due to quality issues, but this data doesn't account for the effects of tea polyphenols. Cola has the weakest refreshing effect, but in summer, a can of iced cola can indeed be more refreshing than coffee. Also, drip coffee and instant coffee are good choices! **Enhanced Level: Rijiaman, Lehu, Dongpeng, Heika, etc. paired with coffee** This combination can keep you from feeling sleepy until 4 or 5 AM. Coffee only keeps you awake; to truly "refresh," a combination of energy drinks and coffee is the standard for staying up all night! Speaking of energy drinks alone, Heika 6 Hours tastes like bottled Red Bull but is less effective. Dongpeng Special Drink and Lehu each contain about 13mg of caffeine, which is average. Finally, let's talk about Rijiaman. The domestic taurine powerhouse Rijiaman actually has a mediocre effect, but it tastes good. **All-Nighter Level: Red Bull, Qili, etc. plus coffee** This standard combo can generally last until 8 AM. Typically, for an all-nighter, it's Red Bull or Qili plus coffee. After finishing, you can have another bottle of Jinliang or blue Sprite, and apply some essential balm or toilet water. With this combination, you get taurine + caffeine + tea polyphenols + B vitamins + physical refreshment, keeping you energetic all night. **Extreme Level: Blue Can Red Bull, Monster Energy, etc. plus coffee** This combination can keep you excited until 10 AM when you're ready to sleep. Blue Can Red Bull is the amino acid enhanced version of Red Bull, with double the amino acid content, reaching a level similar to Rijiaman. Monster Energy, the best-selling energy drink in the US, tastes like Red Bull with carbonation! It's said to have 14 times the caffeine of cola, with 240mg per can, making it the highest caffeine beverage on the market. Note that the daily caffeine intake limit is 400mg. **Ultimate Killer Level: 5-hour Energy** 5-hour Energy comes in a 57ml bottle, just one sip, but that sip contains 200mg of caffeine, with vitamin B6 at 20 times the daily requirement and B12 at 83.3 times... If paired with half a cup of white coffee, it can get you through until noon the next day. Its power is evident. **-END-** Featured Content Click the title below to read directly: [Practical Guide to Route Salesperson Customer Relationship Management (with 228-page PPT training tutorial for grassroots salespeople download) --- ## Copyright and AI use This article is sourced from New Distribution.
