"The main uncertainty relates to sucralose. While widely approved for consumption, some research suggests that long-term intake could affect metabolic health, although the evidence remains mixed and the quantity here is unknown."
"According to Update, using paraxanthine directly 'eliminates the crash, jitters and overstimulation' associated with other energy drinks. To understand whether or not this is really the case, Professor Davidson analysed the exisiting studies on paraxanthine - including those on animals, and on humans."
"Most energy drinks use caffeine, which is a natural stimulant that can increase alertness, reduce fatigue, and enhance physical performance. Instead, Kim's brand has opted to use paraxanthine - a compound the body naturally produces when it breaks down caffiene."
Kim Kardashian has launched Update, a caffeine-free energy drink that uses paraxanthine, a compound naturally produced when the body breaks down caffeine. Unlike traditional energy drinks such as Red Bull or Monster, Update aims to deliver energy without the associated crashes, jitters, and overstimulation. Professor Colin Davidson analyzed the drink's ingredients and confirmed paraxanthine is safe. However, he identified sucralose as a potential concern, noting that while widely approved, some research suggests long-term consumption could affect metabolic health, though evidence remains mixed. Studies comparing paraxanthine to caffeine in animals showed significant differences in overstimulation symptoms.
