Prime Red Hydration Drink, 500ml

Product Information

According to Healthline, symptoms of caffeine intoxication include dizziness, irritability, headache, confusion and uncontrollable muscle movements. When behind the wheel, these can reduce a driver’s alertness, control, and mood increasing the chances of an accident. Coconut water is a good option for a hydration drink as it’s rich in electrolytes and minerals according to the USDA. N atural flavor is a broad categorical term that fails to describe the specific flavoring agents used. There are documented toxicity concerns related to some flavoring agents.

We review published medical research in respected scientific journals to arrive at our conclusions about a product or health topic. This ensures the highest standard of scientific accuracy. Prime also contains a host of inactive ingredients that we consider questionable from a health perspective. Meta Moon was okay, but other flavours such as Ice Pop and Blue Raspberry are meant to be nicer (Image: Zhara Simpson/PlymouthLive) Tasting it, the artificial flavouring was confirmed. It reminded me of really cheap sweets you would get from the corner shop when I was younger - the ones that had that distinctive fake fruit flavour and were overwhelmingly sweet.

L-isoleucine, l-valine and l-leucine are branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). This category of amino acid is used to support muscle recovery, but a meta-study on BCAAs published in the Nutrients journal shows that most clinical trials use a BCAA dose of at minimum 5,000 milligrams (mg). As the author of this article, I wanted to try Prime myself in an athletic setting to give my take on its taste and effects. As far as the effects of the drink, I did feel like it gave me more energy than drinking water alone, but that could be a placebo effect. |We review published medical research in respected scientific journals to arrive at our conclusions about a product or health topic.

Logan Paul and KSI recently launched a hydration and sports nutrition drink called Prime. The drinks are wildly popular, available in many Walmart locations throughout the U.S., and are positioned as a healthier alternative to sugary sports nutrition products like Gatorade and Liquid IV. Over the past six months, it's been hard to miss the rise of Prime Hydration in the UK. From people queuing up outside Aldi from the early hours of the day to wrestling for the bottles in Asda, the sports hydration drink has caused quite a hubbub. The drink itself is a purple or dark magenta colour, which is mostly hidden by the plastic label. Upon first opening the bottle, I got a sweet, fruity smell - nothing too specific to be able to tell what fruit flavours were used, but it was definitely artificial. Red 40 is an artificial dye, and this type of ingredient is likely harmful to human health based on a medical review published in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health. The study authors found that Red 40 can be contaminated with carcinogens (cancer-causing substances).

We're surprised that in 2022 a popular "wellness" brand with significant funding and (presumably) significant profit margins is using older-generation artificial sweeteners like sucralose instead of newer-generation sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit which may have superior health and safety profiles (in our opinion). The Veygo spokesperson added: “While most drivers understand the risks of alcohol intoxication and would never drive under the influence, caffeine can have a similar effect on driving ability, reactions and safety on the road if consumed in large quantities.
