Energy Drink Haul! How to Choose a Healthy Energy Drink at the Grocery Store 

Hey Tom, the XYIENCE energy drink you approved has acesulfame potassium in it. It's on the list. ;( Just wanted you to know. Simple over look. You've got a rep to keep up!

I know that Brandon is actually pretty good that's a good matcha brand for if you're starting off

But never believe the teabags are basically just putting dried up tea leaves and reselling it with the label of matcha

Zcience energy did have ace k

Whyd u skip hiball energy

Marketing niche. Seems about right.

And make millions lol

great talk lol

Itll be out of stock from me. Great idea

Great idea.

This was actually funny af. Started crying 😭

Those have neither 100+ mg of caffeine or vitamins and am not interested.

lmao

😂

😂😂 damn

Bruh. It's unhealthy

@@pratikastrosaha5015 healthier then sugar

@@pratikastrosaha5015 living in general is unhealthy but sucralose is better than sugar it’s not a big deal.

@@pratikastrosaha5015 How is it unhealthy? You'd have to drink like 20 cans a day for a year or smth like that to see any effects LMAO.

@@dezenttt9117 it boosts your insulin spike. Having it in excess will create problems in future. Why risk having it when you could have better alternatives compared to that . Anyways it's your choice whether you want to follow it or not. Staying healthy is a lifestyle, you need to make certain compromises which are sustainable in order to attain a better life. Peace brother

Daniel Wynne hah.. You beat me to it. He missed it on the ingredients list.

Also spotted it easy to overlook something :-)

I noticed that as well. It's easy to overlook but important to address.

I see that Thomas bought the Xyience which did have Acesulfame P, and didn't buy Uptime which didn't have it. Both had sucralose

unfortunate it seems all the major players had it

Bang isn't bad to be honest

Excessive caffeine disrupts testosterone creation, so they may be right 🤷🏾‍♂️

😂😂😂

@@TheTorqueAholic Yep, it raises cortisol. I really need to get better about too much caffeine and not enough sleep, but my natural T levels must be great as far as natural genetic potential because I've had good levels for years despite my lifestyle being full of major T level killers. I stopped things like too much hoppy craft beer and not a great diet, pretty much just stopped alcohol don't have a drop weeks at a time, really easy to do with a diet based on keto and high-quality foods. But even through my 20's never lost sight of 6-pack abs, I was only averaging 4-5 hours of sleep a night too, partly or getting 5-6 only on weekends but more like 3.5-4 weekdays, my sleep has been shit and is still not great at 34 years old. I just need to work on that and caffeine now, of course managing caffeine better will help the sleep I'm sure so that's the place to start. Glasses you can sleep in that block 99.9% of both blue and green light is really helpful though, it's working wonders. Much better than 98% of blue light, but that's a lot better than nothing. Targeted-keto based on quality animal foods, I only go highest quality so I don't even eat organic chicken, it's still grain-fed, fine if you go with lean meats I guess but it's more expensive than 100% grass-fed/finished hormone/antibiotic-free beef anyway. So I stick to that, beef organs, and wild-caught fish mainly. I just take a full-spectrum beef organs supplement mostly liver and brains, raw freeze-dried powder from New Zealand cows, has balanced amounts of heart, spleen, pancreas, and kidney too. Between that and fermented skate liver oil, I don't really have a need for things like oysters and sardines like before, so just some wild-caught smoked salmon here and there for a treat. It's nice not having to worry about oxidized fish oils and can liners in canned fish, though it's still pretty good for you if it's wild-caught, just not ideal. The fermented skate liver oil is raw too. Other than that for animal foods I generally stick to pasture-raised ghee and raw goat/sheep cheese. Then some great plant staples I've been going with are acai berry powder partly for being so low sugar so keto-friendly, fermented cabbage like kimchi(bonus points for testosterone for having things like ginger, garlic, and onion), and quality dark chocolate. Those are all at least not bad for testosterone, if not good or great, and also could help block estrogen and/or flush it. Dairy can be not great, but I think that's definitely mainly conventionally raised dairy, not quality raw dairy. Naturally present hormones aren't going to be much of a concern, definitely not in the context of a diet/lifestyle like mine, I doubt it'd have a real noticeable negative impact on test and estrogen. Quality grass-fed whey especially, most especially after fasted training with raw honey is so great for building lean muscle, that makes up for it. Whey is underrated for being dense in nutrients too, if it's quality grass-fed and not a whey isolate, it maintains a lot of the nutrition from milk, it's just mainly missing the fat soluble vitamins but you don't want that after fasted training with raw honey anyway, doing targeted keto you can get those later in the day. And I really like herbal stuff and things like shilajit and an ionic boron/magnesium liquid supplement. Been trying really strict keto and fasted training, then quality unheated/unstrained raw honey like Really Raw Honey with grass-fed plain whey, with the boron and beef organs after fasted training, then back to strict keto 2-3 hours later. Fasted training can increase cortisol so it's a great time to have the whey and honey to lower it, and raw honey and whey is great for lowering cortisol. I really need to stop caffeine in the morning before training and during too, to help manage cortisol. Technically it'd break the fast, but taking ashwagandha right before fasted training could help too, I don't see why it'd hurt. Probably a good idea to cycle between fasted training, keto nutrition before training, and cyclical keto so carbs before training some of the time.

@@CarbonGearSolid Do you mean as far as taste and giving brief feelings of energy? Because it's definitely a negative thing to have. Probably won't be noticeably bad to your average person to have 1-2x a week or so, maybe daily after months. I got symptoms from sucralose in the past so stopped that for good, aside from rare occasions since then but back to being strict about it. But anyone serious about their health and especially gut health should avoid it, getting serious about diet is going to be so much better for energy in the long run anyway. A lot of these energy drinks are a way for humans to cope with not realizing how nutrient deficient they are in the first place, and most likely sleep deprived so they need to artificially produce 'energy' in their body, which is mostly forcing secretion of stress hormones and then crashing. Most people might not realize optimal vitamin D is actually around 8,000 IU's a day, 10x the RDA. You'd have to eat like a pound of wild-caught salmon a day to get that, or get it from the sun, or supplement it. Vitamin D3 is extracted from sheep's wool using hexane, it's best to put 8,000 IU's or so on your skin if not getting enough sun, for testosterone it's great to put on your balls too lol, or get sun on your balls if you can in private. Most people aren't getting nearly enough vitamin D, even supplementing it in the diet isn't as ideal as oil on skin or sun, and people are afraid if getting sun without sunscreen which blocks vitamin D. There's a lot of issues like this with most people being nutrient deficient in at least one thing and probably not realizing it, let alone actually getting optimal amounts of things. That and the brain probably not naturally producing feel-good chemicals optimally, is a large part of the reasons people turn to things like energy drinks in the first place, but obviously it's not so easy to fix and can take years to do so even once people realize it. It takes some knowledge, self-discipline, along with some money and privilege as a lot of people can't afford or even access the right things.

I’m saying like wtf

That is a tiny meal.

On that 500kcal per day 😂

@@indigo7387 140 liquid calories are empty calories though.

My rule is I don't drink calories unless A.) It gets me drunk B.) I blended it myself

Daniel Wynne i sure hope so, he’s touching a lot of surfaces.

HAHA! I spotted that, too.

LOL

No hand sanitizers too

valentines candy at entrance.

enough of sleeping! ;)

You're own pee is good too

1:13 you just passed the most important energy drinks!

Celsius!!!

Sea moss gel n shilijit mountain blood. Which bruce lee used. Research.

Me too

Has Ace K the Zience or whichever you approved??

No one buys that crap lol

Leon ... a nostalgic 'feeling' for the good ol days? 😔

What way?🤔

The amount of ppl who don’t understand this comment

alright i have to ask. what you're favorite coffee drink?

@@geneamigh6048 Benetrim. Hands down my favorite.

@@TheBeneFitters what kind of drink is your favorite?

Reign Man....

same

My mother in law was also sent to the hospital by red bull now I told her take Celsius it’s Amazing😊

I hope you can recover from that.

He was figuring it out for himself, it’s not like he walked into the store knowing what ingredients each and every energy drink has. That’s why he did this video, to figure out with us what ingredients are in certain energy drink brands.

I'm more of a diesel man myself

I drink LIQUID HYDROGEN deal with that.

Do you like being a motaur?

Boxing Now isn’t that from the movie “Top Secret “? A classic with Val Kilmer. I know I’m aging myself here, but it’s a classic and must see if you need a comedic escape from what’s going on in the world. The guy named Chocolate Mousse chugs it then says “Gasoline, ha ha ha ha!”

@@denitam917 ill have to check it out!

Oh my God thank you I was going to say it, the first one is owned by subway sandwich Ella mayo and the second one is healthy and all but taste very bad

He read it and it didn't have Acesulfate in it. Do you have insider information that it does?

XYIENCE, a zero calorie energy beverage, has re-launched under new ownership. The new owner is Austin, Texas-based Big Red Inc.

@@joshuaread6838 you can clearly see it in the video

@@joshuaread6838 it's clearly visible on the list. He just didn't read far enough down

👍👍👍

Water is mine 🙃

I really wish coffee didn’t cause me to breakout. I love the stuffz

@@BetaBuxDelux same here 😥😥

@@rajae8174 Yeah, sorry. :(

Yesss ty!!

Yeeeees 👍👍👍 great Idea

According to this guy, avoid basically everything..smh there is no need

@@younggotti8195 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

TLDR version

Brian Crane yup it did ...put it back lol

I saw that too... it’s towards the bottom after the inositol and before the ester of wood rosin. Weird Xcience!

Gotta fill the label with interesting shit.

To creat an addiction to there chemical blend.

The sugars create an addiction and commercial ones are cheaper.

funniest thing I saw on one of those labels is "0 cals" on the front, turned it around and it listed 4 types of sugars in it

Made a review on taka which is probably the cleanest energy drink out there. Two flavors, both really good.

Love sour heads

Sour Heads is good.. but candy apple 🤤🤤

Purple Pear is awesome...Purple Haze tastes like benadryl lol

Birthday cake ftwwww

Same here but I drink cotton candy or star blast

How do you make it??

Wow ~ I’d like to get a hold of that drink. Thanks for being out there in the craziness!!!

Tell him to make a version without Sucralose.

by any chance is it called beyondnrg?

I saw that too

Seen that too

Right

Yeah. He stupid....

No, he’s basically telling you not to drink most energy drinks.

More like black coffee

That's all you need....

Try yerba mate, you might have to brew your own if you want it without sugar.

I’ve been drinking Celsius packets as a cheaper alternative and seemingly decent but now I need to find something else 🤦‍♂️

I have type 1 too, but I've never had my blood sugar rise from drinking an energy drink with no carbs in it.

Black Silverchair works better than anything too.

@@paintup46 better than Deathwish? I drink that black

You drink 2 black coffee everyday? I'll stick to water

@@SSx90 Many people drink coffee... If you don't need/want it, great... but, two cups of coffee a day isn't bad. Especially compared to the average coffee drinker.

I drink a 0 sugar 0 carbs energy drink loaded with b vitamins.

I'm not a fan of sugary drinks, so I always drink the ones containing stevia.

Those aren't good 😑

Tammy Baxter okay Tammy

@@CollinJoseph Well they aren't lol

We prefer taka for our non caffeinated energy drinks. Did a review on the pros and cons but definitely one of the healthiest energy drinks out there.

@@tammybaxter4911 why aren’t they good, I’ve been seeing a lot of mixed explanations if they’re good or not

Runa is good!

Ghost is good different type of ingredients

I didn't see sucralos in ghost

Have you tried it yet is it any good

Just by some L-Citruline & Beta alimine added to your coffee or water & your good to go.

How dare he name stores that aren't in your area! He didn't make the video just for you.

@@jack5402 uh yeah, I know. Thats why I named a bunch of east coast grocery chains... because he named all western ones. Calm down.

@@davidmeloche3563 I wasn't sure if you were complaining or just making a lame joke. Guess now I know.

I was so hoping he would do the zevia! And the zevia teas that have caffeine!

I haven't seen any Zevia at my local Safeway neither have I seen C4 or Uptime like in the video though, I have seen them at 7-11. Unfortunately, I've heard Zevia isn't the best tasting thing ever.

Hugo Mendez ... and they technically don’t break a fast. They are my go to!!

Read the ingredients it has both of the things he kept saying are bad and it has amino acids if you care about fasting
