What does the addition of vitamins and supplements do for energy drinks?

As the title suggests I am wondering why they add so many vitamins and supplements to energy drinks. I am having a hard time finding the exact science on it. Is it to curb the crash or just to increase how much “energy” you are getting on top off the caffeine. All of the above?

Thank you!

A lot of them are coenzymes for cellular metabolic functions. They play a role in your cells producing energy and the doses may increase it. Whether they actually increase metabolism (and thus energy) in the quantities and scenario of an energy drink, I don’t know. I’m sure you could find studies on it.

This is mostly related to b vitamins, i don’t think most energy drinks have anything else in them. Some preworkouts might have vitamin c which may improve exercise performance.
