Differences between the three Red Bulls:
Red Bull Vitamin was approved by the Ministry of Health in 1997 as a health food product. A can (250ml) of "efficacy ingredients and content" are: taurine (125mg), caffeine (50mg), inositol (50mg), lysine (50mg), niacinamide (10mg), vitamin B6 (1mg), vitamin B12 (3μg). Directions and serving size are 2 cans daily, to be consumed directly.
Annage's health food approval, on the other hand, was granted in 2014. Anaichi can (250 ml) "iconic ingredients and content" labeled ingredients are also seven, after conversion and Red Bull vitamins compared to taurine is three times the content of Red Bull vitamins, but the lack of lysine and vitamin B12, an increase of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and American ginseng extract total saponin. Due to the presence of total saponins, the taste and aftertaste have a slightly "bitter" flavor unique to American ginseng. Directions and serving size are 1 can, 1 time per day, orally.
Red Bull flavored drinks are not health food, and therefore can not be labeled with efficacy or iconic ingredients, its "Nutrition Facts Table" shows that there are energy, vitamins, carbohydrates, sodium, taurine, myo-inositol and so on. Compared with Red Bull Vitamins, the vitamin content is less, of which vitamin B12 is reduced to about 1/7. In particular, Red Bull Flavored Drinks are labeled as containing guarana extract in its food flavor. Directions and serving size are 1 can per day, open and drink.
