    To note, 13% of Americans may be deficient in B6:

    So if you are one of the 1 in 8 who are deficient and consume an energy drink with B6 then you’ll feel more energetic just from the B6.

    Then there’s the caffeine, taurine, and other B vitamins as well.

    That said you can make your own “energy drink” by mixing (safe) levels of B complex, caffeine, and taurine into your favorite beverage.

    That or take them separately if you know you’re deficient.

    Magnesium is also worth trying as if you are deficient you can experience several symptoms including brain fog. It takes effect fast (within 30 minutes). If you take too much Mg then you’ll just accelerate the contents of you alimentary canal.
