About this deal

Artificial sweeteners are calorie-free— however, they aren’t well-studied in children and typically taste sweeter than sugar, promoting a sweet preference, according to Zenker. While artificial sweeteners are generally considered safe, there’s still much research needed, especially regarding their long-term effects, she adds. Prime Energy Ingredients The brand, which comes in ‘hydration’ and ‘energy’ forms is ubiquitously available and was launched as a social media, influencer-type product that has the undivided attention of children under the age of eighteen,” writes Sen. Schumer in his letter. “These same children are also the target market for Prime. Many physicians have serious concern for Prime, and I write to specifically urge your agency to investigate Prime for its claims, marketing and caffeine content.” Body Fuel, a Liverpool-based competitor to Prime which has been endorsed by Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett, went on sale last week. To determine whether Prime drinks are right for you, it’s important to factor in your health conditions, including whether you’re pregnant or nursing, your diet, any supplements you might be using, physical activity and sleep quality, advises Zenker. It encourages them to want sweet drinks, when plain water is the answer and helps them develop a sweet tooth which is not good for the future in terms of a healthy diet and controlling their weight."

For a sports drink, Prime Hydration is high in potassium and suboptimal in its carbohydrate content at 5 grams, adds Kansas City Chiefs’ sports dietitian Leslie Bonci. Optimal carbohydrate content is 4 to 8 grams per 100 milliliters, so Prime Hydration’s 500 milliliters (one serving) should contain 40 to 80 grams of carbohydrate, Bonci explains.

Accessed 9/22/2023.The doctor added that Prime is made from coconut water, which is "full of electrolytes (sodium and potassium)" but "again, children obtain plenty of these from their diet. They do not need any extra from an energy drink. What they need during the day is plenty of good old-fashioned, water." While the FDA doesn’t regulate energy drinks, it does note a caffeine limit of 71 milligrams per 12-ounce serving for sodas, according to Harvard Health, which notes many energy drink manufacturers can get around this threshold by classifying their product as a supplement.

Prime Energy contains 200 milligrams of caffeine in its 12-ounce serving cans. The FDA specifies an intake of 400 milligrams of caffeine a day in healthy adults is generally considered safe and not linked to adverse effects such as insomnia, jitters and fast heart rate.

What a doctor says about Prime Energy

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlights potential negative effects of energy drinks, such as impacts on the heart, dehydration, anxiety and sleep disturbances such as insomnia. Heart complications can include irregular heartbeat and heart failure, while anxiety can include feeling nervous and jittery. Dehydration—inadequate water in the body—is a condition that can lead to unclear thinking, mood changes, overheating, constipation and kidney stones. Electrolyte replenishment is important after strenuous exercise, emphasizes Lindsay Malone, a private practice registered dietitian and instructor at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio. Interestingly, Prime Hydration provides less sodium (10 milligrams)—an electrolyte that maintains fluid balance—in comparison to other sports drinks, notes Zenker. While the coconut water base offers potassium, which can contribute to sweat replenishment, Prime is missing the mark on the electrolyte we lose the most through sweat—sodium, says Dana White, a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified athletic trainer in Connecticut. She said: "Dipotassium phosphate is an artificial flavour enhancer and preservative which is said to be safe for consumption but can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headaches and constipation."

Prime Hydration is formulated more like a sports drink as it contains electrolytes and vitamins, says Avery Zenker, a Canadian-based registered dietitian at EverFlex Fitness, a personal training program. Prime Energy is more of an energy drink, primarily due to its substantial caffeine content, recognized as a stimulant, she adds. A manufacturer might sell its product into another territory, where a distributor or merchant ends up exportingAlthough it's not easy to find all the ingredients online, Dr Lee also notes that there are other things to consider when deciding whether to buy your children a Prime drink. She said: "Dipotassium phosphate is an artificial flavour enhancer and preservative which is said to be safe for consumption but can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headaches and constipation." The Prime drink, which was launched by English YouTuber KSI and American YouTuber Logan Paul last year, has become popular and has been flying off the shelves. There are two products for sale – Prime hydration and Prime energy. However, from April they are set to be more widely available in the UK, and a doctor has issued a warning to parents about children about the drink's high caffeine content. Prime energy contains a whopping 200mg of caffeine, compared to 86.4mg in a can of Monster Energy. Prime is marketed as zero sugar and low calorie, but it's got sucralose, which is an "artificial sweetener which has been shown to alter the gut microbiome and increase levels of systemic inflammation".

Some smaller corner shops are selling it well over its recommended retail price, and parents are complaining about how hard it is to get hold of the beverage. The YouTubers have a relatively young fan base, and many youngsters have been desperate to get their hands on the product. Dr Deborah Lee, from Dr Fox Online Pharmacy, told The Mirror: "I would not recommend children drink Prime energy drinks or other energy drinks for children of any age. Children don't need energy drinks anyway – they have plenty of energy! Below is a summary of the ingredients found in Prime Hydration drinks, as detailed by Zenker and Christina Lombardi, a New York City-based registered dietitian and the owner of Functional Nutrition Rx, a nutrition private practice.Additionally, Prime Hydration contains B vitamins, and while those are important nutrients, they don’t add anything to the hydration potential of a beverage, says Bonci. White agrees, explaining “you don’t lose B vitamins in sweat.” These nutrients are very common in the food supply and carry low risk of deficiency for most people, adds White. Indeed, the marketing of energy drinks in general typically employs strategies aimed at adolescents, notes Harvard Health. Energy drinks are the second most widely consumed dietary supplement among American teenagers and young adults, following multivitamins, according to the National Institutes of Health [1] Energy Drinks. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. Accessed 9/22/2023. . The Prime energy drink, which was launched by English YouTuber KSI and American YouTuber Logan Paul last year, is set to arrive in the UK soon - and a warning to parents has already been issued. It can also interfere with sleep, which children need plenty of. She added: "Caffeine results in an increased need to pass urine, so will not help at school with more trips to the toilet and could contribute to bed wetting."
