Monster and Red Bull are currently the two most popular brands of energy drinks, commonly known as "energy drinks". It is impossible not to notice that the solutions are very similar to each other - mainly in terms of operation and nutrient content. The differences between these drinks are slight, but very important to consumers.
A few words about the most popular energy industry in Poland
Red Bull and Monster lead the way on both the Polish and European market. Like most energy drinks, these are also based on caffeine and other stimulants. The presented solutions are an effective alternative to other liquids with the addition of caffeine, e.g. coffee and tea. Red Bull and Monster are very similar to each other. The main differences between the two drinks result from the composition and flavor profiles.
Nutritional values
When it comes to nutritional values, the two brands are virtually identical. In the case of a 240 ml can of classic drink, you will notice that Monster contains slightly more calories - by exactly 9, and also slightly more carbohydrates, niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B12 and caffeine, and a lot more riboflavin (over 10 times more). ). Red Bull, on the other hand, boasts more vitamin B6 (in this case it is twice as high). The drinks are similar in terms of calories, carbohydrates, protein, and caffeine. For people who use energy to stimulate, the most important is information about the latter. Both products contain slightly less caffeine than a 240-milliliter glass of regular coffee. Monster has 85 mg and Red Bull has 75 mg of caffeine.
Other similarities and differences
Considering both energy drinks, Monster contains a richer composition aimed directly at stimulation. When it comes to energy-boosting ingredients, Red Bull can only boast of caffeine, taurine, B vitamins and sugar. All of this is conducive to a short-term injection of energy. Monster has all of the above plus guarana, ginseng root and L-carnitine.
Another difference between the two products can be found in the packaging. Among the Monsters available on store shelves, 480ml cans are the best. In the case of Red Bull, the classic 240-ml packaging dominates. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that when you drink Monster, you get a double boost of energy - the equivalent of two ordinary cans. Statistics show that most people drink a can of energy drink at a time, regardless of size. A larger drink will definitely be more profitable for them.
Although energy drinks are said to be unhealthy, two cans of Monster or four cans of Red Bull a day are perfectly safe for the adult human body. Of course, they are not recommended for pregnant women or people with heart problems. However, nothing prevents you from replacing classic coffee with energy from time to time.
