You will notice all listed end in -ine
Different aminos have been studied for different benefits now they are not medications and some if not all research done can be questionable. Also it seems now since the supplement industry isnt well regulated there are some issues with possible ingredients in some of the herbal supplements on the market.
PS-Caffeine can kill you just as easily as almost anything else. They do sell it in bagged concentrated form.

excessive taurine is most likely bad for you, based on my observations. taurine is the main ingredient of bile in your digestive system. bile is stored in the gallbaldder. i know two different YOUNG people with a 3x+ a day Monster habit that had to have their gallbladders removed.
i'm usually one of the first skeptics when i hear stories/information like this. if i hadn't seen it happen to two people i wouldn't give it much credit. and i know two people is hardly a decent sample size, but still.
Monster has quite a bit more taurine than most other energy drinks that i am familiar with.
