Welcome to The Knowledge Podcast by Wahoo, where we provide you with the latest research and insights on sports nutrition. In this episode, we’re discussing our position on energy drinks and energy shots. Energy drinks are pre-packaged functional beverages, while energy shots are a more concentrated version. Both are formulated to enhance and support exercise performance when consumed just prior to exercise.

Studies have shown that caffeine is the most effective ergogenic nutrient for enhancing physical and mental performance and are present in all energy drinks and energy shots. Other ergogenic nutrients include ginseng, guarana, and taurine, which can enhance physical performance, mental focus, and alertness, and can help reduce anxiety and nervousness caused by caffeine.

However, it’s essential to note that these products can have adverse effects on certain populations, such as adolescents, pregnant women, and those with pre-existing medical conditions. Additionally, energy drinks and energy shots can contain a long list of additives, including B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin D. While these vitamins are essential for the energy-producing pathways of the body, their effects on physical performance have yet to be determined.

Join us as we discuss the primary qualities of each additive and delve into the potential benefits and risks of consuming energy drinks and energy shots before exercise. Stay tuned to The Knowledge Podcast by Wahoo for more insights on sports nutrition.
