Red Bull’s functional origin (jet lag) was lost in translation as it became a lifestyle product.

The Role of B Vitamins in Light Sensitivity and Circadian Regulation
B vitamins, especially riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), and methylcobalamin (B12), play a vital role in how our bodies process light and regulate internal rhythms. While they’re best known for supporting general metabolism, these vitamins also help align our biological clock, support the nervous system, and protect against the stress of disrupted sleep or travel.
