What You Should Know

You'd spot this slim can in the energy drink aisle or chilled with other functional beverages—reached for before a workout, on a long drive, or during a late-afternoon slump. It gives a modern, functional vibe: herbal cues like yerba mate and organic monk fruit hint at a 'natural' angle while the zero-calorie, fortified formulation reads as engineered rather than whole-food. The ingredient list—carbonation, natural flavors, extracts, isolated sweetener and added vitamins—signals an industrially formulated, fizzy drink consistent with ultra-processed products.
