Abstract

The concept of functional energy drinks has gained popularity around the globe in the past three decades due to their versatile properties in improving physical endurance and mental alertness, and delaying fatigue during exercise. Functional energy drinks also often contain different bioactive compounds, micronutrients and caffeine that play a role in maintaining the health status of an individual. But there are certain research gaps related to safe dosage and consumption of functional energy drinks by different age groups and the various health claims or benefits related to their intake. Therefore, the present chapter is planned with an objective to review the formulation, consumption, safe dosage, label claims, promotions and regulations related to functional energy drinks.
