All you ever wanted to
know about RedBull
but never dared to ask
1. Is Red Bull addictive?
Dr. Haller, internationally known drug expert, specialist in psychiatry and neurology says :
"It is proven: Red Bull contains no addictive substances and is therefore not an entry-level drug to
hard drugs. Red Bull has, just like caffeine-containing coffee, a stimulating effect."
2. Can Red Bull have any harmful effects?
No one anywhere has ever shown any link between Red Bull and harmful effects. Last year alone,
one billion cans and bottles of Red Bull were consumed in more than fifty countries, including
Europe, the United States and Australia. The product has been on sale for 14 years in Europe and
the formula for more than 30 years in Japan and Asia.
3. Is Red Bull a doping substance?
The amount of caffeine (80 mg per 250 ml) is about the same as the content of a cup of filtered
coffee. There is a danger of doping only when caffeine is taken orally in extremely high doses.
4. Is Red Bull suitable for young people?
For young people who drink coffee, Red Bull is harmless.
5. Is Red Bull made from bulls' testicles?
Taurine is an amino acid that is found in the human body. It is produced synthetically for Red Bull.
Taurine was detected for the first time about 40 years ago in cattle and its name derives from
Taurus, bull.
