According to the ingredients listing on the Red Bull web site, there is NO ephedrine in Red Bull. The drink contains taurine, glucuronolactone (a naturally-occurring metabolite, a carbohydrate produced by the human metabolic system) and caffeine (Guarana), in addition to vitamins and carbs.
Red Bull provides the body with essential ingredients such as taurine and glucuronolatctone that play key roles in the drink's effects. The product also mentions the use of caffeine as a stimulant, but says its contents are similar to that of a cup of filtered coffee.
According to a news article in The Talon, a Murrieta Valley High School publication, studies show the Red Bull uses an extract from Guarna seed, which is found to contain twice as much caffeine as a coffee bean.
Ephedrine is, however, still legal in many applications outside of dietary supplements. However, purchasing is currently limited and monitored, with specifics varying from state to state.

A response to an e-mail I sent to Red Bull via their website claimed there was no ephedra in Red Bull, but so many websites (perhaps not credible ones), and many athletes I know,claim it does.
There is no indication that the drink contains ephedra and failure to make mention of it on the ingredient label would open a manufacturer up to a score of legal troubles.Currently, the ingredient label on Red Bull website indicates that it provides carbohydrate in the form of sucrose and glucose, and the ingredients taurine, glucurono lactone, caffeine, and vitamins.
