What You Should Know

You'd spot this slim can in the energy drink aisle, gym cooler, or on a late-night convenience-store run when someone wants a caffeine lift without sugar. It reads modern and functional—health-conscious yet convenience-driven—promising a boost from yerba mate and added vitamins. The ingredient list of extracts, isolated vitamins, natural flavors and carbonation signals industrial formulation and a highly processed (NOVA 4) beverage rather than a whole-food option.
