  • Title: Beneficial effects of an "energy drink" given to sleepy drivers.
    Author: Horne JA, Reyner LA.
    Journal: Amino Acids; 2001; 20(1):83-9. PubMed ID: 11310933.
    Abstract:
    500 ml of a glucose based "energy" drink versus a control without the active ingredients (caffeine, taurine, glucuronolactone) were given double blind to 11 sleepy participants driving an interactive real-car driving simulator. Lane drifting and a secondary task (reaction time) were measured for two hours post-treatment. The energy drink significantly improved both indices, particularly for the first hour.
