Yerba mate contains other stimulants as well, like red bull does. So yes caffeine = caffeine, but caffeineted drink!= caffeineted drink.

- Fnoord 8y agoYep, good point. Club Mate contains sugar as well. The espresso I drink never contains sugar or milk. The coca cola zero I drink doesn't contain sugar either. I cannot stand the highs and lows of sugar. I notice it especially at birthday parties. I mean, its already boring... and them comes up of the sugar rush followed by a low where I start yawning and feeling sleepy. I so not wanna be there anymore at that point. The general trick though, is dosages. You want to keep it stable when it matters, and at the end of the day wind down. Which means you do not want to drink caffeine drinks anymore in the evening. For the rest, I can highly recommend mindfulness to help increase focus (but before I started it, I found it super annoying when someone suggested it and then I tried it myself and it didn't work out; so I am following a course on it, for people with autism). Meds can help out as well.
- driverdan 8y agoRed Bull does not contain any other stimulants.
- zrobotics 8y agoOK... citation? Their site says it contains 27g sugar/8.4 fl oz. Pretty sure sugar is a stimulant. http://energydrink-us.redbull.com/en/ingredients-red-bull http://energydrink-us.redbull.com/en/ingredients-red-bull
- driverdan 8y agoSugar is not a stimulant. It is a carbohydrate.
- newfoundglory 8y agoI was thinking of taurine, but apparently it's not actually a stimulant and the research is mixed as to whether the other ingredients in red bull have any additional effect to the caffeine.
