Have not tried that stuff yet. My ex wife turned me on to some stuff called Zipfizz that has a lot of those ingredients and more.

It has 4166% of your daily requirements of B-12 at 2500 mg's.

I would expect it to be different from Red Bull due to the large amount of NAC-tyrosine - assuming that the proprietary blend contains glucuronolactone in greatest amount, NAC-T as the second ingredient, etc. Milligrams of taurine would beat malic acid and caffeine - not sure by how much.

Nac-T feeds into the synthesis of dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine, and thyroid hormone. Sounds like speed. Phenylalanine is also an excitatory amino acid - much of it is converted to tyrosine.

Not sure if this would soothe or aggravate clusters. But a different buzz is likely.
