Both Red Bull and Red Thunder contain caffeine and taurine, two ingredients that are known to increase alertness and improve cognitive function. However, Red Thunder also includes guarana, another natural source of caffeine that is believed to have antioxidant properties. This gives Red Thunder a slightly higher caffeine content than Red Bull, with 120mg per 8.4 fl oz can compare to 80mg per 8.4 fl oz can in Red Bull. The taste of these two drinks is also slightly different, with Red Thunder being a bit sweeter than Red Bull.
