Red bull drink contains caffeine, which has stimulating effect on human body and is used for refreshing. In China, Red Bull drinks have been repeatedly sued for their high caffeine content. It has a good refreshing effect for mature working people and people who are prone to fatigue due to high-intensity work. Not very suitable for students with incomplete physical development, and it contains hormones.

From the earliest "tired, sleepy, drink red bull", we began to know what a functional drink is. There are so many new functional drinks that people are overwhelmed. "Work, stress, worry, screaming", an advertising word that makes people confused at first glance, turned out to be the functional drink "screaming" of Yangshengtang. The reporter saw in a supermarket in the city that in addition to screaming, there were Robust's pulse, Wahaha's activation, unified physical fitness, Master Kong's running and Huiyuan's He+She. These functional drinks with cool names and packaging attracted consumers' attention.

These drinks, which have the functions of supplementing human nutrition and enhancing physical fitness, have similar functions and various types. Which one should I drink? What are the benefits and side effects? The reporter consulted the nutrition experts of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. They said that functional drinks are actually different from ordinary drinks and are suitable for specific people or under specific conditions. Choose carefully according to personal characteristics, physical condition, or the demand for a certain ingredient.

Functional drinks are divided into three categories.

At present, China soft drink classification standard defines functional drinks as special-purpose drinks, which meet the nutritional needs of some special people by adjusting the composition and content ratio of natural nutrients in drinks, including sports drinks, nutritious drinks and other special-purpose drinks. Subdivided, it can be divided into polysaccharide drinks, vitamin drinks, protein, peptides, amino acid drinks, mineral drinks, probiotics and prebiotics drinks, low-energy drinks and so on.

According to this subdivision, when consumers choose functional drinks, they may wish to look at the ingredients marked on each drink, and supplement the body's needs according to the different nutritional ingredients, so as to achieve corresponding effects. However, if people are healthy and normal, or have no physical exertion and do not need to replenish energy, drinking these functional drinks is of little practical significance except quenching their thirst.

Shopping should be "seated in the right place"

Polysaccharide beverage: regulate the stomach and reduce appetite.

Polysaccharides in drinks refer to drinks containing dietary fiber, which can regulate the stomach. This dietary fiber drink, usually drunk before or after meals, can help digestion and eliminate toxins in the body. If people with constipation drink it for a long time, they can slowly adjust their intestines to relieve and treat constipation.

At the same time, dietary fiber does not digest or decompose after entering the human body. After drinking it, you will feel full, as if you had just had a full meal, so this drink is a good weight loss drink. However, if you want to replenish energy and strengthen your physical strength, it is wrong to choose this drink. Not only will it not work, but it will reduce your appetite. If you need to eat for energy, you won't feel hungry. Isn't it a good time to grow up and replenish your strength?

At present, screaming fiber drinks and screaming plant drinks on the market all contain isomaltooligosaccharides, dietary fiber, green tea, bamboo leaves, caramel from stems and leaves of American ginseng and other polysaccharide components, which belong to functional drinks of dietary fiber.

Suitable for people: constipation patients and people who lose weight.

Vitamin drinks and mineral drinks: supplement a variety of nutrients.

The biggest function of vitamin drinks is to maintain the normal growth and development of the human body. In addition, the newly listed vitamin functional drinks can not only supplement the vitamins needed by the human body, but also remove the garbage in the body and play an anti-aging role.

Mineral drinks and vitamin drinks have similar functions. It is used to supplement various mineral elements such as iron, zinc and calcium needed by human body, and enhance human immune function and physique. They can improve osteoporosis and effectively resist fatigue.

Many functional vitamin and mineral drinks, such as Fitness, Red Bull, Activation, Pulse, 360-degree Pulse and Gollum+specially designed for men, contain a lot of vitamins C, A, E, B3, B5, B6, B 12, PP and so on. Natural guarana extract was specially added in the activation. Minerals such as potassium chloride, sodium chloride, calcium lactate, sodium benzoate, taurine, inositol, caffeine, etc. It is also the main ingredient of these drinks, which fully supplements the needs of the human body.

Suitable for people: vitamin drinks are suitable for everyone; Mineral drinks, especially those containing anti-fatigue ingredients, are only suitable for adults who are prone to fatigue, not for children.

Sports drinks: reduce consumption and restore vitality.

Functional drinks are mostly sports drinks. Most of these sports-balanced drinks contain a lot of protein, peptides and amino acids. Protein can help you reduce the cholesterol content in serum and prevent atherosclerosis of blood vessels, which is very suitable for the elderly to drink; Polypeptide can effectively resist hypertension and cerebral thrombosis, and regulate immunity, and is suitable for people with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Amino acids can fully supplement people's physical exertion after exercise.

The composition of this beverage is similar to that of human body fluid, and it can be quickly absorbed by human body after drinking, which can not only relieve "thirst" and "body thirst", but also replenish the water and electrolyte (salt) lost by human body due to a lot of exercise and labor sweating in time, so that the body fluid can reach a balanced state.

For example, Robust, A8 of Jianlibao, Body Drink, Vitiligo, and Screaming Active Peptide Sports Drink on the market contain vitamin amino acids, citric acid, soybean active peptides, taurine and other components that supplement physical fitness. Suitable for sports, travel, labor, bathing and drinking after getting up. After physical exhaustion, these drinks can quickly restore your physical strength and vitality. However, if you drink this drink without physical exertion, the sodium in the water will increase the burden on your body, resulting in an increase in heart load and blood pressure. Therefore, patients with hypertension should pay attention to their choices.

Suitable for people: all kinds of people after physical exertion, not suitable for children, patients with hypertension should use it with caution.
