Prime is a range of sports drinks, drink mixes, and energy drinks promoted and partially owned by YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI.
The drink, first released in the United Kingdom in 2022, comes in energy and hydration forms and has become wildly popular with kids.
The bottled hydration version has no caffeine and is made with coconut water and electrolytes. The canned energy version, which does contain caffeine, has raised concerns with some experts looking out for younger consumers.
A 12-ounce can of Prime energy contains 200 milligrams of caffeine.
When compared to other caffeinated drinks, a 12-ounce can of Coca Cola contains 34 milligrams of caffeine and an 8.4-ounce can of Red Bull has 80 milligrams.
ABC News medical contributor Dr. Alok Patel said 200 milligrams “is a huge amount of caffeine.”
“That is too much for any growing child,” Patel told “GMA.” “That much caffeine can cause some adverse effects, such as disrupted sleep, mood disorders, upset stomach, even abnormal heart rhythms.”
The warning label on Prime energy drink products note that it’s not recommended for children under the age of 18.
