Energy Drinks

[Redgreenblue]

Do energy drinks have a negative effect on your liver? I mentioned taking 1 daily as I was always feeling tired and normally if I don't have 1 I tend to get more tired and sleepy. They never really said if they were bad just not to take excessive amounts of them?

I'm wondering whether they best option until I can see my consultant again is it treat them same as alcohol to be on safe side? I just don't want the fatigue to come back...... I'm doing what I am told and have lost 4lbs in weight which is a first in years!!! so they can't be harming me that much can they?

Try going for black coffee; not only will it give you a boost, but it actually helps your liver.

i don't like coffee or tea unfortunately, i have tried to but I find myself drinking less throughout the day cause im drinking something i don't like. i just end up dehydrated

[Redgreenblue in reply to mozlaw]

no not anaemic, only thing I'm on is citalopram and vitamin D, my vitamin D levels were extremely low so I'm on a loading dose for 7 weeks then off for 1 month then normal dose supplement afterwards
