Martina Donininational president of Udicon, relaunches his concerns especially in light of the fact that due to the way it is promoted, its white color and its energizing nature, this powder has a strong hold on the youngest, “a vulnerable category that could be attracted by this novelty”. Donini emphasizes how there is the risk of abuse of the product since the energy charge has a very short duration and the effect wears off within 30 minutes. “The consumer is pushed to frequent intake to maintain high stimulation and this can lead to non-negligible risks both for health and for the habits that can arise”.
