Why some experts are warning parents against PRIME energy drink

Social media is filled with videos of kids showing off their bottles, but experts say they should be careful, especially the energy version of PRIME.

Children shouldn’t consume energy drinks at all imo.

Stores in the Netherlands can’t cell prime anymore. The amount of caffeine isn’t even allowed to be in a product by the food standards/law here because it’s so unhealthy.

The label clearly states; "not recommended for children under 18 years of age."
I guess this means it's safe for "children" over 18 years of age.

High-caffeine energy drinks have been on the market for years, there are some with 300 milligrams of caffeine. They really should not be sold to kids under a certain age, but it's completely legal for a 10-year-old to go buy these energy drinks. Not sure why you're picking on Prime Energy here, this has been an issue for years & most parents are not buying their kids the energy version.

I drank the hydration one earlier and my heart beat has been 100+ for 2 hours

You see prime hydration is alright but prime energy is an actual health threat. All parents should avoid prime energy but imo hydration is completely fine

Kids should not be on social media either!

My kids been telling me to get him Prime Drink. Some how I was avoiding it for no specific reason. I m glad I ended up watching this video. I ll print out a prime paper stick it in another juice drink and will pass it as a prime drink. Lets see how this goes.

This bottle here says no caffeine but still labeled for adults only.. So what else is hiding in this drink..

“South Park “s CRED episode bought me here!😂

[peter.p.]

Someone who experienced obesity in my young ages, kids drinking energy drink for daily basis really shivers me off. Energy drinks are just water flavor with high amounts of sugary flavor, and in this case this prime drink also has enormous amount of caffeine inside in it, which is primary toxic for growing children.

[DuskLegend]

So this is what that South Park episode was based on

[megamanmegamanmegamanmegam]

I rather drink the Hydration one to stay safe instead of drinking the energy drink one

[Jellyfish]

shouldn't energy drinks be available only for adults? I'm sure some countries have +18 on them..

[JupiterRaveDX]

Why tf are parents letting their kids drink energy drinks

[cram]

Kids shouldn't be drinking energy drinks regardless soooo

[SeverinSnake]

Starbucks drip coffee has around 260mg for 12oz.

[BloxioCoolComeonHeiscool]

The reason it says not suitable for children under 15 years of age is because it has hormones from what i heard and it makes you not get taller. So dont have the hydration drink too much..

[ryanhadwick]

Should not be consumed by children,

Marketed at children!

Logan and jake paul are vile for this

Fun Fact: any dark drink is bad for you!!! Blessed Be.
