Abstract
⺠Energy drinks may improve memory and psychomotor performance and reduce fatigue. ⺠Whether energy drinks effects are due to caffeine or other ingredients is unknown. ⺠We assessed effects of energy drink ingredients: caffeine, taurine, and glucose. ⺠Caffeine reduced fatigue and improved attention, working memory, reaction time. ⺠Caffeine content, not taurine or glucose, drives cognitive performance improvements.
