Taurine is an amino acid that helps break down minerals, it is already an energy drink like Berocca if they just released an option without all the caffeine.
There must be a market for it with all the zoomers stroking out from vaping and monster energy.
You do know the origin story of Red Bull right? Dietrich Mateschitz visited Thailand, and while there discovered that the Thai drink Red Bull is based on, helped him deal with jet lag. Most likely meaning it helped him stay awake when his sleeping pattern got screwed up because of the big time zone difference. The Thai version was popular with truckers who likely used it to stay awake at night and during long drives. I think at least half the point of Red Bull is to help keep you awake when you can't sleep.
Removing the caffeine seems like it would defeat the purpose.
I know they make decaf coffee and sodas, but none of them are marketed with the promise of giving you energy.
Gladiatori consumed energy drinks not dissimilar to red bull without the caffeine. I am familiar with Thai red bull in the small golden can, its syrupy and made for mui Thai fighters (thai modern gladiators). Red Bull GmbH are already marketing a range of caffeine-free sodas, just not in the flavour or OG Red Bull, so I think it's a missed opportunity.
I actually love the taste of Red Bull but don't miss the heart palpitations. Surprisingly it also goes well with Jägermeister.
People take taurine for congestive heart failure (CHF) and swelling of the liver (hepatitis).
Taurine provides a substrate for bile salts. Taurine, an amino acid that affects hepatocytes, is involved in forming bile salts from bile acids
Its almost a perfect alco mixer if not for it being a stimulant.
Honestly, I think it's a missed opportunity not to make a caffeine-free version, they already have a sugar-free version and a few other spin-offs. At least make a caffeine reduced option.

There is already a capitalist product for it, this is your chance to become a millionaire, or you are wrong.
