Redbull and Haribo citric acid

wamantah

@PUFADestroyerPPO Red Bull always gives me white tongue for some reason, most definitely the acids they use

Sugar

I've seen that the water they use is pretty clean, and of course has some incredible ingredients like taurine, caffeine, glucose, niacinamide, baking soda, etc. But there is definitely a market need for a clean glass bottled peaty energy drink without artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, or citric acid.

@Cornelyan Should I send them an Email asking what form of niacin fhey use?i have already done so before regarding BPA

PUFADestroyerPPO

@Sugar only like 2 flavors have artificial sweeteners and the artificial colors are caramel and riboflavin at worst, but I agree with the glass and citric acid ( which could just be citrus juice sourced instead of from black mold)

Has literally no one heard of the Black Forest brand of gummy bears? Doesn’t have any artificial dyes which are arguably the worst part of the haribo shit. If your metabolism can’t handle a little corn syrup or citric acid you aren’t gonna make it bro.

Corn Syrup, Sugar, Gelatin, Modified Food Starch (Corn),Citric Acid, Apple Juice From Concentrate, Sodium Citrate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Coconut Oil*, Colors (Black Carrot Juice, Beta-Carotene, Spirulina Extract, Turmeric), Carnauba Wax*. *Adds a trivial amount of fat.

@pswany here in europe they dont have those dyes

Cornelyan

@PUFADestroyerPPO Could be useful to know, maybe compare with another brand like Monster or anything else

PUFADestroyerPPO

@Cornelyan already said monster does seem to hurt me and redbull doesn’t, @yeehawyinzer said the same here

Rapey Pete

@PUFADestroyerPPO yes I enjoy many haribos

Cornelyan

@PUFADestroyerPPO need to try to make gummy bears with redbull infused with gelatin

PUFADestroyerPPO

@Cornelyan now THAT sounds delicious

These are awesome, they have fruit juice concentrate. The citric acid doesn't really bother me. Eating too many at once can sometimes make me feel gurgly though.

EDIT: here's the ingredients: https://onlineshop.haribo.com/saftgoldbaeren

Probably only available in Germany. Carnauba wax and bee's wax, fruit and spirulina extract, fruit juices, gelatin, dextrose, glucose syrup. That's it. And "aroma"

PUFADestroyerPPO

@djledda Yeah these are in europe, I personally prefer the bananas since they have even less ingredients, have you ever seen those?

Atlas

@PUFADestroyerPPO +1, these rock

djledda

@PUFADestroyerPPO Not aware of the banana ones. Will have to keep my eye out. Thanks for the tip n

ah

its fiiine

Fructose

@djledda I noticed that when I drink a lot of Red Bull during hot detox baths, I feel dizzy. When I don't drink, I can sit for up to 2 hours at 40 degrees without any problems.

I think the reason is citric acid.

@Fructose Caffeine can dehydrate you a bit, and especially in a hot bath or something you are losing allot of electrolytes, its probably that
