Russia plans to adopt a new GOST for energy drinks from 2027.

⚡️Energy drinks – what a fantastic name…

The content of all tonic substances (except caffeine) in one can of the drink should now not exceed 50% of the upper permissible level of daily consumption.
That is, two cans a day is the limit.

Currently, the dry residue share should not be lower than 10%; the new GOST introduces reverse restrictions: no more than 10%. This measure should eliminate excess sugar, which is not bad.

A list of natural adaptogens that may be contained in energy drinks has been defined: Rhodiola rosea, Eleutherococcus, Leuzea, Schisandra, ginseng, and yerba mate. (Not all of them have been tested for safety, and even less for effectiveness.)

A systematic review analyzed severe complications from energy drinks. There are also deaths, mostly in men with the highest probability at age 33. Almost half of the problems are heart-related (arrhythmias, heart attacks).

When using energy drinks, it is important to remember that they contain quite active ingredients that can trigger hidden predispositions.
And stimulants are a "debt" that must be repaid with longer rest and sleep.
