A doctor is warning parents over the staggering amount of caffeine in the new Prime Energy drink
before it hits UK shelves this year.
Prime Energy is the caffeine-laden sister product of Prime Hydration, which has surged in popularity in the last six months and is sold UK supermarkets. A can of Red Bull has 42mg of caffeine, meanwhile a can of Monster Energy contains 36mg. A regular cup of coffee contains around 40mg of caffeine. She said: "Caffeine is a stimulant and evidence and research shows, that children should not have caffeine in their diet, if they do it should be no more than 100mg of caffeine in a day. Caffeine also may harm children's still-developing cardiovascular and nervous systems.
"For adults, the NHS recommends no more than 300mg of caffeine a day - found in four coffees for example -as people can get side effects," she added.
