I was reading about vitamin D foods and wondered if there were any vitamin-d enriched energy drinks. It turns out that Tushar Healthcare makes an energy drink called Glucose-D.

“Get a jump start on your day by filling up with the extra energy of Glucose-D. Enriched with Vitamin D and Calcium for easy assimilation and replenishment of essential nutrients. It’s a ready source of energy to fight tiredness and refresh you instantly.”

Glucose-D is manufactured by Tushar Health Care with tri-calcium phosphate, di-calcium phosphate and vitamin D3. Glucose-D is used as instant energy beverage. Tushar Healthcare is an organization managed by well-educated professionals and responsible management personals.

There is also Sip of Sunshine packets by Suzanne Somers which contains exactly 2000 iu of Vitamin D along with a host of other Essential Vitamins and GliSODin which naturally raises your glutathione levels.

There’s really not that many energy drinks with vitamin D. If you’re wanting more, you should probably just drink fortified milk or orange juice as it is not found naturally in any fruits, which make up a lot of energy drink ingredients.

With Energy Drinks like Bawls, Cocaine, Hi-Ball, Monster, No Fear, Red Bull, Rock Star, Wired, and Whoop Ass brands, there are at least 9 Brands of malt drinks that contain at least 6% alcohol along with some of the same ingredients that are in Energy Drinks (caffeine, ginseng, guarana, and taurine).

Anheuser-Busch and Miller Brewing produces several “energy beers” — beer containing caffeine. And Red Bull and vodka — mixed up by bartenders who call it a Friday Flattener or a Dirty Pompadour — has been popular for over ten years.

A Brazilian study found college students didn’t feel as drunk as they actually were after drinking vodka and Red Bull. Their perception of their coordination and reaction time didn’t match objective tests. While some teenagers might feel like this is a benefit, the potential for accidents and alcohol poisoning worries Dr. Sandra Braganza, a pediatrician and nutrition expert at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in New York. As she prepared to write an article about energy drinks for a pediatrics journal, she was surprised how little published research she could find on them. “The truth is, we don’t know what kind of effects these ingredients can have,” Braganza said of taurine, glucuronolactone and guarana. “We have to start doing more studies on this.”

This is probably because energy drinks are relatively new.

More than 500 new energy drinks launched worldwide in 2006 and according to Simmons Research, 31% of American teenagers say they drink energy drinks with names like Monster, Red Bull and Rockstar. Experts warn that these beverages can cause serious health problems, some energy drinks even contain a warning reading, “Not recommended for children.”-the very market being targeted the most by the biggest energy drink companies.

One of the biggest worries is how some teenagers intake the drinks. Drinking multiple cans of energy drinks in a row to get a buzz, teenagers can lead to young people getting sick from too much caffeine. “Danger only adds to the appeal,” said Bryan Greenberg, a marketing consultant and an assistant professor of marketing at Elizabethtown College. “Young people need to break away from the bonds of adults and what society thinks is right,” he said. “They’ve grown up watching their parents drink Starbucks coffee, and want their own version. Heart palpitations aren’t likely to scare them off.”

Most brands target males ages 13-24. Industry leader Red Bull, the first energy drink on the market, is now the ‘big arena band’ of the bunch “teetering on the edge of becoming too big and too corporate,” Greenberg said. “Monster is more of a hard rocker, maybe with a little punk thrown in, much more hardcore,” he said. “Rockstar is the more mainstream, glam rock band that’s more about partying then playing.” Teenagers are more likely than any other group to be influenced by this market so they need to be the most careful.
