The possible modulated recovery of expected adverse effects from the different doses of the taken power horse energy drink. Materials and Methods: Sixty five adult male albino rats (weighing 180-200 grams) were divided equally into seven groups. Group I (control), group (IIA,IIIA&IVA) which received a daily different dose power horse energy drink using an oro-pharyngeal metallic curved tube for 8 weeks then sacrified and group(IIB,IIIB&IVB)which left alive with stoppage of beverage intake for another 4 weeks for recovery then scarification were done. The specimen were stained by H&E. Result: Power horse energy drink intake result in adverse effects on the submandibular salivary glands in the form of structural changes of all gland elements including: These changes are dose dependant and showed in the following:Atrophy of secretory units, loss of normal glandular architecture, numerous signs of degeneration and premalignant changes. Signs of degeneration of striated.
