Thank you for tracking down Turkey's number 1 personal trainer for his valuable insights. His words shook me to my core.
😂
He said i don’t give a shit😂

it's not just the high caffeine, its the high potassium content that's the prob and has a high chance of escalating heart related problems, not to mention the 15mg of sucralose, and just bad marketing to children without an open disclaimer do proper research before making a video.
I work in a supermarket and I've literally seen kids stealing this drink because they know they won't get served for it at the checkout. That's the problem with this drink, it's target audience is young muppets that can't even legally buy it!
Kids have been doing this for ages. Was a thing when I was at school 11 years ago!
I sadly gave into the hype and tried the ice pop flavour of prime tasted so sweet and shit cannot understand how people actually enjoy them tbh but each to their own I suppose.
@@heey_im_mike my guess is that children genuinely have a higher tolerance to sweet things. I'm not sure how old you are but I'm 19 so I'm kind of bridging that gap. From the ones I've tried they're definitely very sweet but I find them decent especially if I am craving something pretty sweet. Also its technically healthier than gatorade, at least their main lineup. I defienetly see myself growing out of it at some point tho
So basically alcohol but for kids lol
Caffeine is not a controlled substance, and as such, there are no regulations or restrictions on who it can and cannot be sold to. So no, there's nothing illegal about a kid buying an energy drink.
A lot of shops choose to not sell it to children for ethical reasons. Which is probably a good thing.
I'm two months into drinking only water and I have way more energy than when I used caffeine in any form. All of this junk can stay gone. Also saves a lot of money.
same. Never drank coffee or caffeine since my adulthood. I have more energy than everyone else in my office. They all drink coffee daily.
@@JatjrI’d suggest your office colleagues have other issues. Studies show coffee has numerous health benefits. In moderation of course.
Energy drinks I’m not so sure…
@@coreywilliams8768that’s true but stimulants get very addictive. And humans start to form a dependency on them. So let’s say one day you don’t drink your coffee even if you drink small amounts everyday, you’ll feel like shit.
@@yofat696 Yup. Moderation is key, like all things.
@@henrik4173 🙄
Where did you get the tin foil hat? Did you make it yourself? 😅
I’m sure big coffee is out to get us all mate you’re right.
I really like your calm approach to debunking stuff. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
It’s not debunked. They are all bad for you🤦🏻♂️
As someone who can’t even have coffee after 12:00pm without irritating my insomnia I have no idea why I’m watching this video, but it’s awesome and thanks for the info 😂
You’re not alone 😂
I draw the line at around 11-12 too 😂
I drank a coffee like 40 min ago and ima go sleep ina few lmao. Idk if my tolerance is whack or yours lol
it depends on personal blood presure also. if yours is low, you aint gonna feel it much, but a person with high , just like me, i dont drink coffee at all@@BigballsTerrence
@@BigballsTerrenceyours
@@BigballsTerrence a bit of both I guess 😂 but I get that too after 1-2 weeks of daily coffee (more than 1 cup/day) it starts making me sleepy sometimes, its weird.
Try stopping coffee for 1-2 weeks and see what happens after your first cup. You’ll be god incarnate
Dividing up an 8 ball haha You never fail to deliver
It was a fun line, you might say
@@ianmurphy7188I see what you did there 👀
Yeah, class a drug references are super edgy and hilarious tee hee
Had me snorting with laughter you could say.@@ianmurphy7188
It made me laugh, nothing about being edgy, just a little one liner (no pun intended)
Coffee for breakfast crew, where you at? 🙌🔥☕
Ground and snorted for breakfast.
I inject coffee directly into my bloodstream at least 3 times a day!
@@Au_Blinky I inject blood in my coffee stream every evening.
Coffee is my breakfast
Aching. That's where I'm at.
Love your vids James keep up the great work and thank you for being a reliable source on info
Not reliable at all in this video, ask a doctor
A video about nootropics would be great to see! There’s so many out there now and a million different “nootropic coffees.” Would love to see your honest assessment of what (if any) are worthwhile.
Keep killing it, mate! 🙏
From my understanding, companies that sell canned pre workout drinks that put other ingredients in like beta-alanine are only able to put in smallish doses because it's hard to suspend high amounts of other ingredients into a canned drink without it then settling at the bottom or becoming grainy and gross, which then makes the efficacy of the doses basically negligible. Although the convenience and taste of canned pre workout drinks probably makes them suitable for those who aren't needing all the extra stuff and just want an energy kick.
I am a fan of C4 canned energy drinks. They do a pretty decent boost for me.
If you want an unregulated dump of UPF, sure.
Brilliant explanation and loving all the visuals too but I’m sure with the price of a Prime drink that stack you had in front of you was a small fortune but loving the dedication to the videos will definitely keep watching.
Prime is no longer expensive. Its absolutely everywhere, atleast in the uk now.
This video is clearly sponsored by Prime. There's absolutely no reason to buy 100s of cans for a video unless you got them for free.
I used to drink 1-1.2g of caffeine (2-3x coffee, 2-3monster energy and pre workout) per day (100kg, 6ft 2). Then wondered why my sleep was fcked, my bowels were in pieces and I was stressed and anxious and even developed a severe facial twitch. I don’t drink caffeine at all anymore. My focus is so much better, brain fog is much less, sleep is fking wonderful. Ditch it altogether. And after a while you start to have the same energy and focus you did when you were a kid.
lol dude 1000-1200mg, no wonder you were fucked with that carelessness. Normal people cant use that as a reference
Your circumstances aren't exactly the best to speak out on. You were ingesting a near lethal dose every day and then tell others to drop caffeine for better focus? I'm glad you're feeling better but your issues with caffeine were entirely a "You" problem and not a caffeine problem.
You were on the extreame extreame end of the spectrum of caffine intake, how you didnt have a stroke i have no clue.
Caffine in moderation is perfectly fine, you should have stopped after your 2-3 cups of coffee, the energy drinks and preworkouts were way out of bounds.
@@ItsBoyRedyour spelling is extreme (in a bad way).
@@dkbrook9178 thak 4 wery konskruktiv inpud!
I don’t consume anything in my day with caffeine and I get to work and I’m the most energetic and lively from start to finish. I’m staying well clear of all of it
You Sir!are the perfect personal trainer!cheers from South Africa 🎉
I'm trying but it says you have to add me as a contact.dont know how else to reach you
Thanks Paul for the insight
I hate how people have painted caffeine as some innocent substance. There are people, like me, too sensitive to caffeine. To anyone who reads this: always test how you react to a substance before really going into it. Once I took the actual full dose of a pre-workout and I had a terrible workout and an even worse evening after. The whole evening was ruined with me just laying down thinking if I'm gonna die, maybe I should've stayed active, I dunno. Now I use no-stim pre workouts.
Regardless the best pre-workout you can give yourself is proper sleep.
There are people sensitive to every single compound on the planet, no matter how generally harmless. By all reason something like Coeliac disease should never even happen but it does.
Always a pleasure, James 😅
Another great video bro!
Any chance on a video about notropics? Big fan of your videos, it’s something I want to learn more about and would definitely take it in better with you explaining it
Great insight from Olima 😂
I've only seen two of your vids but you seem like a top bloke!
Sorta weird to go hard on ‘meal replacements’ being bad, then be knocking back factory made ‘coffee replacements’ 😂
Thankyou very much. Great info
Smashing this UA-cam thing mate 👍🏻
I love the way you explain things to your viewers break things down thank you amazing I feel am with you as you explain like been in real time
Man you speak like a actual real person, and are. Good content.
My dude! Can you please do one of these type of videos on protein bars!
Appreciate your content.
Damn, dieing of a caffeine overdose sounds absolutely terrifying. RIP to that dude
Pure caffeine powders are banned in a lot of countries because of this. A few grams can kill you and if you're not careful you can easily measure yourself a lethal dose.
You know what's absolutely terrifying? Your grammar.
Not half as terrifying as dying of water overdose. See "Hold your wee for a Wii" contest.
Great video. Your creativity is a little mind-blowing.
new to the channl. Really informative stuff keep it up!
I was brewing my coffee at the start and felt rage at the accusation of my choice of caffeine
Hey James!
Great Video, one question off topic:
How do I know if the protein that is in Protein bars for example is perfectly usable for the body or if we just shit it out? hahah would love an answer greetings from germany
Another video on Prime. I don’t blame you seeing that the first one went viral 😂
Keep killing it, you are gonna blow up sir.
He doesn't need to use the clickbait titles tbh
Prime has its energy and hydration options and I enjoyed seeing you talk about both. I’d really like to know your opinion on Jocko Go and Jocko Hydrate since they are marketed as higher quality options for both energy and hydration. Love the vids!
It does not even have the right components to be actually a rehydration formular. Prime is just junk. Stop hyping scam infuencers.
Sodiumchloride and Glucose do the trick, two super cheap ingredients. That is the actual legit rehydration formular, since it is not based on osmolytic function, but actual colon bridge mechanism of NaCl-Glucose-H2O that even works if you suffer from diarrhea. Osmolytic rehydration is 1. inferior to the bridge biomechanism and second less reliable.
Thanks for the insight again.
Would you do a video about Sneak energy by any chance? Or is it all the same as he other energy drinks
I can’t handle caffeine, even a normal cuppa brewed too long can make me feel rubbish.😣😩😩
Matching caffeine content with L-Theanine removes the caffeine crash, that is why green tea usually does not give you a crash, by already containing it naturally.
thank you oli, very cool.
James: * Hates Prime *
Also James: * Buys 48 cans *
😂 I was hoping it was photoshopped…
Loving the content. What is the background song you use in some of your videos? Is it Atlas by Lane 8? I've been binging your videos so I'm not sure if it's this one but it's in previous ones, like the bubbly kind of noise? Thanks
the 8 ball joke went over everyones head
That’s what I’m saying!
The difference in caffeine content between counties on energy drinks is phenomenal. Whenever Us troops would come over for training they’d bring energy drinks in their conex’s knowing that Australia’s product was different and when we’d go overseas and drink what we thought was the same drink as we would normally drink you’d swear the first time you would have a heart attack
What brand is your shirt? Looks clean as mate!
Now that we've determined the amount of caffeine isn't alarming, do a video on sucralose as an artificial sweetener.
Hey James. I saw your video about Huel and meal replacements. I've followed you on tik tok for a long time and love your no bullshit attitude. I messaged Huel citing you...I'm confused and conflicted. I know you'll probably not see this but if you do, please help cuz they came back with a counter argument to your meal replacement video, for everything you put forward.
Love your content man. Hopefully hear from you, if not, well, I tried lol
Love the cameos lol
Good channel. Good content
BRO. IM IN AUSTRALIA. WHERE U AT CUZ. ❤ YA WORK
In Canada, prime energy has a supplemented logo warning you on how much caffeine is in it. The only other thing I've seen that warning on is triple shot coffees, which have 300mg
Hahahah that 8ball line took me out haha
I tried one ages back. It tastes ok, no where near the best tasking energy drink I’ve ever had. The affect was eh as well
Ages...they haven't been out that long
It's essentially a sweeter Gatorade
The energy drink that the local ALDI sells as a homebrand is superior to this "prime" energy already. And costs 70 eurocents for 500 mL.
the thumbnail is fantastic
i quit caffeine 10 days ago and my stress went down a shitton and my dark eye circles have completely gone
As someone with ADHD, OCD and anxiety I can't have caffeine as it exacerbates these conditions. I just stick to water and on odd occasions Gatorade for workouts.
Grab water bottle, water, lemon juice and salt. Boom
i have hella adhd symptoms and i find my thoughts just focus more if i load up on caffiene, i never get "wired" from it really, but I can down a prime energy, any other energy drink, high caffiene drink before gaming, studying or working out and i get distracted less... i guess its just different for each person, all my anxious thoughts are overthinking that let distracts me so i guess it just depends on each persons physiology
@@Masa6xdo you take focus medication?
nope, never had it. in the uk they dont prescribe adderall or anything, but i got a lot of friends on ritalin and they say it makes them like zombies xD@@seriessplayer62747
good video mate
its also important to know how much caffeine you can tolerate and how you resond too it. If you have never taken caffeine its more likely that a higher amount of caffeine has a harder impact on you
Your content is weirdly relaxing lol
What is a quick long term effect of daily consumption of caffeine (150-300mg) for years?
Just a side note, there are probably other differences between where these are distributed. Monster Energy in the standard 16oz can here in the US is 160mg. I think quite a few others with this same size can are usually within 160mg as well. Usually if a brand is selling with more caffeine (such as the smaller Red Bull cans and equivalent competitors) they sell it as a separate product.
Monster is basically selling internationally in the dosage that some EU countries have restricted energydrinks to contain per 100 mL.
my termogenic has 420mg of caffeine. when i took two (840mg), after cardio i had to sit on the stairs to calm down my whole body was weird like i had a pump on every muscle of my body. mentally i was almost having a anxiety attack, and i never have those, only time i had was on a bad trip from weed lol. my heart was pounding still after 10 min after cardio.
I really like your non biased on this
There is an Australian regulation on caffeine per ml. That I read about a while ago. 160mg per 500ml is the max amount for drinks “made” within Australia, but they can sell drinks made outside of Australia. Also there is no regulation on caffeine on coffee in Australia. It’s odd
In Denmark we only have Prime without caffeine.
the other day i saw a mother and her kid walk into the gas station i stopped at and she just let him grab whatever he wanted and he immediately bolted to these, i remember when i was a kid my mother told me that i would literally die if i drank an energy drink, now that fact is actually true yet parents are now allowing their kid to do whatever they want
Best video so far
Lol I’m Turkish and what he said cracked me up so much 😂😂😂😂
I had one of these before work and it totally fucked me up, monster helped me when very tired as I don't like coffee
Great video
Big fan of C4 before training and a ghost before I'm back to back for 6 hours!
Hey James, what happened to the peptide video you mentioned in the semaglutide video?
Nice use of the standing PC table. 😂
Watching you dry scoop pre-workout was hilarious.
What about the high caffeine mixed with high potassium? Doesnt that add to the risk?
100% thought James was gunna swerve Diren for Big Ali there 😂
My 9 year old sister only drinks this because she thinks prime is cool. How they get away with marketing to children is just wild
How do they market to children exactly?
Here the thing, they dont market to children. They have deals with sports teams and sports stars but that is in no way children specific. Neither is their youtube channels now. Plus the normal Prime drinks dont have any caffine at all. So the whole argument against them being unethical is ridiculous imo
Have you done or would you do a video on powder energy drinks like Gfuel? I drink them as an alternative to Red Bull and Monster as they don't make me feel like shit an hour later. I'm also not a big fan of coffee. Though I do drink a lot of the stuff even when I'm not exercising.
Great content brother! Do you have a business email?
I don't bother with energy drinks or caffeine full stop, I feel like when I used to years ago I became dependant to feel like I got a good work out in, now I just have fruit before gym to give that initial increase of energy which allows me to be more psyched up to go hard my whole work out by starting it with a little energy push from the natural sugars.
Hey smith,how you doin?
Same with red Bull a girl at work had five a day went to hospital
James, what do you think about the Musashi brand of energy drinks? Have started using the fruit crush flavour as its a lot nicer that other energy drinks but was curious of your take and the ingredients side of things. Cheers mate.
I use Mushashi too and the tingles I get are better than the ones from my standard preworkout
@@methylphenidate69 haven't tried the PW powder (if that's what you mean), only the caned drinks but they do not feel that different from monsters TBH. No tingles, but I am in my late 40s.
I’m not being funny with you but why do you need these type of drinks what exactly does it do for you ?
@@peterolley7159 it feels nice. That's all.
@@peterolley7159 it's not really a "need". It's more of a luxury or treat like alcohol or nicotine.
BRO I SWEAR I SAW U AT THE PARTHIAN CLIMBING GYM IN WANDSWORTH
I'm watching just for the info.
I haven't drank caffeine in a long while
Can you do another video on Nootropics please. On what is accessible and over the counter. I don't want to go into the demon web and summon a storm. I just want to get more work done.
Everyones gangsta at 5am in the gym until the caffeine addicted powerlifter, fresh off downing 3 scoops, comes in and destroys the gym toilet before lifting any weights
They got prime in Costcos now too
James sacrificing himself for the dry scoop entertainment 😂. I lost it when he just took a full scoop.
I drink so much coffee you could bottle and sell my blood and it would be a more effective pre workout
great video👍🏽
Thanks boss
It’s strange how much higher caffeine is in USA.
Reign has 300mg in a 500ml can in USA but 200mg in UK
In the UK (partially thanks to the EU) we have higher standards of food regulation than the US.@@parisferguson8654
The nonchalant way he says "divvy up an 8 ball or beef mince for your dinner" is very funny and I dont know why.
We all going to ignore when he said diving up a 8ball 🎱 😂
A medium cappuccino at Costa Coffee contains a “massive” 325mg of caffeine
I like basic black coffee. Maybe the odd spoonful of sugar. I get the shakes if I drink 3-4 if I’m working a long day, but 2 a day is all I need. I don’t get the appeal at all. I feel if I tried these drinks I’d be bouncing off the walls.
4 cups a day works for me. I have 2 pretty close together in the morning, 1 at lunch and a cup about half hour before gym. Anymore and I feel like I'm dying...🤣
If you're having 2 cups of coffee a day you're already drinking the average energy drinks worth of caffeine. I don't understand what the massive fear of energy drinks is when most people dont bat an eye at someone having 3 cappuccinos a day with 150-200 MG of caffeine each.
@matrinezkevin11492 It's what's in these piss water drinks that bothers me...
the budget for this video must be outstanding
Sometimes I just click on ur videos just to get a sense of fresh air.
I stopped talking pre workouts cos they actually made me feel tired and unmotivated, they just didn’t work
that room looks really depressing
User
outside the us it is very common that the caffeine amounts are much lower than they would be anywhere else in the world?
what does that mean?
How much passive aggressive you want to be?
James Smith : Y E S
I don't think the issue is the energy drink itself, its the fact that kids don't know about the dangers of too much caffeine and drink them like juice the they could with the prime hydration drinks. And the marketing doesn't really highlight the difference between them so kids and parents can buy one or the other not knowing the difference which could then lead to problems with intake. But this was a very imformative video and it does highlight that the caffine itself isn't the issue its more about the marketing to kids
