A member asked:
Can carbs and b vitamins replace energy drinks before a workout?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No data: Nobody has actually done any studies of either in any kind of controlled setting, to my knowledge. Sports physicians and trainers have about as many views on these topics as there are sports physicians and trainers. There is really no evidence that either of these alternatives is helpful in improving workouts or their results.
