Do youdrink energy drinks for that added energy boost? This drink and others have been linked to health complications. Like heart problems, hypertension, and others. In colorado, a school banned these kind of drinks and recommended a 7-11 store to stop selling these. A 15 year old girl, an athelte, was dirnking the REDLINE POWER RUSH energy drink, and passed violently shaking and extreme salivitation, she died. several others have been reporting going to the er for chest tightness, shortness of breath, severe heart palpitations, increased heart rate, fixed and dilated pupils and hypertension.
Recent reveiws of this drink conclude a contributing factor not only an OD on caffiene, but drinking energy drinks on an empty stomach can lead to the stomach absorbing the drink, thus causing symptoms of nausea, salivating, sweating, headaches, neck pain and so on.
This drink is supposed to be a dieting and energy drink. Usually people who work out a lot or diet, are eating nutritiously, mind you, that may be why some people are not affected by the ingredients in the drink. Those are:
-Caffeine Citrate, Caffeine Anhydrous,
Evoburn™ (Pure Evodiamine), N-acetyl-tyrosine, Yerbe Mate, Green Tea, 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan, CAMP (adenosine cyclic 3′,5′-monophosphate), Vinpocetine, Yohimbine HCL.
-also the amount of caffiene in one 2 ounce bottle of this stuff is about 250 mg. that is like nearly 3x the amount recommended on a daily basis.

So if you are one who drinks the energry drinks there are some warnings, so incase you are not aware of them they follow:
-if you are under the age of 16 this is not recommended.
- if you have any medical condition especially with the heart DO NOT DRINK THIS.
- if you have any type of sleeping disorder this is not for you.
- if you are on any type of blood thinner, bod pressure med, or anti deppressants, dont not drink this drink
-do not take this drink with ANY other type of diet aide, this can cause a problem..

and when drinking this drink, if you have never had this please dont drink more than 3 capfuls (.63 fl. oz.), dont consume more than 1/2 of the bottle, and dont consume more than one bottle a day.

You should not consume this beverage!  It is extremely dangerous!  The dosage of caffeine is more than anyone should take at one time!  The label is so misleading!  You are actually getting double the dose of caffeine which raises your heartbeat too quickly!!  This is even more dangerous if you have an unknown heart defect or other underlying symptom. 


 
 
My boyfriend drank this drink regularly and he ended up in the hospital!  We are filing a class action lawsuit with Howard Rubinstein (pdq.net">howardr@pdq.net). If you have purchased and used this product, then you may also file a claim.  Just send him an email or call him at 832-715-2788.
