Energy Drinks: Review of Performance Benefits, Health Concerns, and Use by Military Personnel

Abstract: Energy drinks (EDs) are highly caffeinated beverages usually containing herbal ingredients promoted and consumed for purported improvements in attention and athletic performance. The popularity of EDs among adolescents and young adults has steadily increased for more than a decade. Reports suggest U.S. military populations consume EDs with greater frequency as compared to age-matched civilian populations.

“…village and city, male consumers were likely to buy costly products at health supplement and nutraceuticals retail stores in the presence of employees having an athletic body with six-pack abs. Intra-sexual competition with sales personnel having such athletic body leads to more consumption of status signaling products and services (Johnson et al, 2014). This study also bridges a gap in the research of the relationship between advertisement models "with six-pack abs holding dietary supplement boxes" and customer purchase behavior.…”

In fact, reports suggest that military personnel consume energy drinks at a greater frequency than the civilian population [ 114 ]. Further research is warranted to assess relationships between energy drink use and these health-related variables in a longitudinal sense.…”
