Product Information

Following consumer research, Barr found that 10% of the population drink “big can” energy drinks and 26% are “heavy drinkers” – drinking more than twice a week. Monster has developed a cult-following among energy drink fans due to its sponsorship of sports and music events, its colourful, heavy-metal aesthetic and its wide range of flavours. Not to mention the 36mg per 100ml of caffeine it contains, placing it firmly at the higher end of the caffeination spectrum. BCAAs, or branched-chain amino acids, are named for their branching chemical structure. The body cannot synthesise BCAAs, so they must be taken in as part of your diet or in supplementary form. They’re important for muscle and skeletal growth and are thought to improve athletic performance and mental stimulation, although further study is needed to prove the latter claims. Taurine is important to many of the body’s metabolic processes and helps improve cardiovascular health. It’s also thought to have antioxidant properties. This amino acid occurs naturally in meat, fish and dairy products. There isn’t much consensus as to the positive effects of taurine, though some studies suggest it improves athletic performance, as well as mental performance when consumed alongside caffeine.

Energy drinks, like most things in life, are perfectly safe when consumed in moderation. That being said, their high caffeine content can be hazardous for those with pre-existing heart conditions, pregnant women and younger children. For the best safe consumption advice, always refer to the label or can and follow the manufacturer’s guidance and instructions. Britvic is an international soft drinks business rich in history and heritage. Founded in England in the 1930s, it has grown into a global organisation with 37 much-loved brands sold in over 100 countries. Ginseng, in its fresh form, is a type of root popular in traditional Chinese medicine. It’s widely taken for its antioxidant properties and possible increases in mental performance and energy levels, although many of its health benefits remain unproven.How to choose the best energy drink for you Energy drinks have a lot of supplemental ingredients – what do they all do? Red Bull is one of the most well-known and popular high-caffeine brands on the market and has become synonymous with energy drinks. The company is also known for its support of high-octane sports, record-breaking stunts and up-and-coming electronic musicians. Adrian Troy, marketing director at Barr Soft Drinks, said: “The average age of an energy drinker is older than one might think at 31, and their needs are moving on.

Lucozade Alert matches the standard 32mg per 100ml caffeine content of its competitors, while also containing vitamin B3, alternatively known as niacin. What makes Lucozade Alert stand out is its flavour, giving you that well-loved glucosey taste that made the original a household name, now with an additional caffeine boost. If you want to stray a little from the classic flavours, Alert is also available in Tropical and Cherry Blast flavours. Flavour remains important to energy drinkers; they are “looking for more than functionality” and want “a great tasting product”. L-carnitine is a nutrient that helps transport fatty acids to your cell’s mitochondria, where they can be turned into energy. While we’re still learning about the various roles it plays in the body, it’s generally agreed that L-carnitine contributes to brain and heart function, muscle movement, and many other bodily processes. Vegans tend to produce lower amounts of L-carnitine, so supplemental amounts of this may be beneficial for those avoiding animal products. Join us in a race to the summit of Mt. Rawsome.

Red Bull Red Edition: Best energy drink overall This mixed case gives you a whistle stop tour of some popular flavours: the classic Original blend, fruit juice-enhanced Pipeline Punch, Pacific Punch and fan-favourite Mango Loco. There are also two options from its sugar-free Ultra line. Beyond caffeine, Monster also aims to boost your energy with additional taurine, ginseng extract and B vitamins. While they may sometimes get a bad rap, the best energy drinks have plenty of positives. They offer an alternative stimulant for those who don’t enjoy the taste of coffee – or its high price – when out and about. Energy drinks also tend to come in a variety of tasty and interesting flavours, offer a significant caffeine boost that even some stronger coffees fail to match and are easily portable and storable for long periods of time. Another interesting thing about energy drinks is the tight-knit communities and fan-followings they sometimes develop due to their fun, maximalist aesthetics and sponsorship of extreme sports and up-and-coming music scenes. This is the drink to go for if you’re trying to maximise your alertness, as its doubled-up strength has its caffeine content of 60mg per 100ml. While there are other drinks that contain a higher total caffeine content on this list, this is one of the strongest caffeine-to-drink size ratios you’re likely to find.

Note: With this being the highest concentration caffine beverage on our list, we would encourage you to employ caution and restraint when consuiming it. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines as well as any advice you may have received from healthcare professionals. Another factor to consider when consuming energy drinks is that they tend to be high in sugar, which, similar to caffeine, is fine in moderation. To be mindful of this, however, we’ll also link to sugar-free versions of our favourite drinks where available. Made from 20% fruit juice, this orange and mango energy drink has a tropical, citrusy flavour, as well as a 32mg of caffeine per 100ml and a bevy of natural boosters like ginseng extract, guarana and B-Vitamins. If orange and mango isn’t quite your speed, there are also cherry and pomegranate, raspberry and blueberry and apple and guava flavoured options available. At 32mg of caffeine per 100ml, Red Bull provides a reliable caffeine boost alongside taurine and B vitamins. While regular Red Bull tastes perfectly nice, this Red Edition watermelon variant has a tastier and more interesting fruity flavour. Also available are the Tropical Edition (tropical flavour), Coconut Edition (coconut-berry flavour) and Summer Edition (apricot-strawberry flavour). For those cutting down on sugar, you’ll be happy to know the tropical variant also has a sugar-free option available.The Rubicon Raw range consists of three flavours – Raspberry & Blueberry, Orange & Mango, and Cherry & Pomegranate – and will roll-out into depots from 22 February.
