PROFILE |
 |
Maybe if toreadors drank Red Bulls instead of fighting them, they'd live longer. Red Bull markets its eponymous functional energy drink in more than 50 countries . The nonalcoholic drink contains the amino acid taurine (first derived from ox bile), B-complex vitamins, caffeine, and carbohydrates - not bulls testicles, or any other rumored ingredients. Red Bull claims that the body needs more taurine than is produced during physical exertion. The drink has grown quickly, capturing about 70% of the worldwide energy drink market. Austrian Dietrich Mateschitz, who likes to spend his time snowboarding and skateboarding, founded Red Bull in 1987 and owns 49% of the company.
