Answer 1

The Overlooked Work Horses: Vitamins B-1 and B-2

Not as well known as some B vitamins, Thiamin (B-1) and Riboflavin (B-2) are essential to good health. Both are critical for normal energy production in human cells.

Deficiency of vitamin B-1, known as beriberi, has wide-ranging symptoms including weakness, confusion, heart damage, and loss of balance.*1 Clearly vitamin B-1 is essential for many body functions. Though beriberi is rare in the U.S. today, marginal or near-deficiency may be rampant. The typical healthy adult gets between 1.05 and 1.75 mg per day (compared to the Reference Daily Intake [RDI] of 1.5 mg per day).1 Near-deficiency is particularly common among the elderly and has been shown to lead to disturbances in the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.*2

Vitamin B-1 was also linked to the health of the nervous system in another study: healthy women who took vitamin B-1 were shown to be more clear-headed and energetic as well as having faster reaction times.*3. Vitamin B-2 is necessary for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and several of the other B vitamins. Higher doses can help protect normal blood flow to the brain.*4 The elderly5 and the poor6 have a high rate of marginal deficiency of this vitamin. It is unknown to what extent other people may have insufficient intake of vitamin B-2. The RDI is 1.7 mg per day.

Answer 2

caffeine gives an energy boost even without sugar. i think people who drink coffee black get more of a boost than those who add sugar; i think that could be applied to energy drinks too. so i would say the substance that gives you energy is the caffeine.

Answer 3

U need not sugar for CAFF to enchance energy! Caff itself will give a great boast of energy though.
