Answers:
While Red bull is composed of many different ingredients, the two compounds showcased as the key components responsible for Red Bull’s proposed effects are Taurine
(1000 mg) and glucruonolactone (600 mg).
Taurine (2-aminoethanesulphonic acid) is an amino acid
naturally found throughout the body.
Produced in the liver and the brain, Taurine plays an important role in osmolarity regulation, muscle contraction and neuroprotection. Glucuronolactone is also a naturally found compound in the body but little is known about its effects.
Taurine is found in high concentrations in skeletal muscles and plays an important role in modulating contractile function . Taurine increases force generation by enhancing Sarcoplasmic Reticulum’s Ca2+ accumulation and release. Increasing taurine levels also augments the mean rate of increase in the force response.
It is suggested that balancing the endogenous taurine concentrations is crucial for maintaining the appropriate force output during muscle contraction.
Muscle fibers possibly modulate their contractility by increasing or decreasing the intracellular taurine levels in response to neuronal inputs .
