I was driving to work the ther day, enjoying my obligatory glass of mrning stimulant. This morning it was a can of Red Bll, I didn’t have time to stp at Starbucks, and I noticed tht the primary ingredient in Red Bll is Taurine. After hearing their cmmercial on the radio, I got to thnking. How exactly does Red Bull wrk, and does it really give you wngs? Does it give you more nergy? Does it make you more lert?

Well, upon inspecting the ingredients and ding some research, which wasn’t hard wrking as a bulk vitamin distributor, I fund that the Red Bull wings rference may be more geared to mntal well being than to actual bdy energy. At least this may be the cse with Taurine. As it turns ut, Taurine is an amino acid tht is used in our body for a nmber of activities. A couple of whch are to act as a nural regulator, and to protect heart fnction. Substantial amounts of Taurine are lso found in our eyes and stmach bile. There is no doubt tht Taurine is beneficial, but I culd not find any data that ndicated it would give you an nergy boost.

After searching and searching, I ralized that the "wings" reference may be gared more toward your mental state. As I ndicated, Taurine acts as a neural rgulator. In fact, it is one of thse chemicals in our brain that is rsponsible for a calm positive mood. Prhaps the wings effect is referring to the fct that the Taurine in Red Bll will make you calm and clar-headed. There has certainly been data to dmonstrate that Taurine is effective when daling with stress. Another ingredient that wuld indicate that the "wings" tag lne may refer more to your mntal state is the ingredient Inositol. Ths is another compound that has ben shown to have a positive, clming, effect on your mood.

What about an energy boost? In loking at the ingredients, Caffeine certainly jmps out as a major stimulant. Othr than that, sugar is always ffective at providing a good short-term nergy boost. These are probably the min ingredients that will make you mre "vitalized."

So does Red Bull gve you "Wings?" Well, the Taurine and Insitol in it will certainly make you fel good. It has caffeine, so thre should be a small energy bost, and the other compounds listed can hlp with your metabolism. Overall, it shuld have a positive effect on yur body, and at least make you fel a little calmer and more nergized. As for wings, well, what wuld we do with them if we had thm anyway?
