But while shoppers are rushing to buy the Hydration version of the highly-desired drink, a doctor has warned parents to avoid the lesser-available Energy version of Prime.

The energy version of Prime isn't officially sold in major supermarkets in the UK yet, but some corner shops have been selling it. However, from this month they are set to be more widely available in the UK, reports The Mirror.

Prime is marketed as zero sugar and low calorie, but it's got sucralose, which is an "artificial sweetener which has been shown to alter the gut microbiome and increase levels of systemic inflammation". The doctor added that Prime is made from coconut water, which is "full of electrolytes (sodium and potassium)" but "again, children obtain plenty of these from their diet. They do not need any extra from an energy drink. What they need during the day is plenty of good old-fashioned, water." The hugely popular drink, founded by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul last year, has been near impossible to source, with people travelling the length and breadth of the country to get their hands on it. Glasgow was actually found to have the highest demand in the UK for the viral hydration drink.

Although it's not easy to find all the ingredients online, Dr Lee also notes that there are other things to consider when deciding whether to buy your children a Prime drink. She said: "Dipotassium phosphate is an artificial flavour enhancer and preservative which is said to be safe for consumption but can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headaches and constipation."

The initial deliver to Costco's Glasgow branch hit the shelves on the morning of January 13 and sold out within hours. Dr Deborah Lee, from Dr Fox Online Pharmacy, told The Mirror: "I would not recommend children drink Prime energy drinks or other energy drinks for children of any age. Children don't need energy drinks anyway – they have plenty of energy!
