What to Look For (and Avoid) on Your Energy Drink Label

This one’s for the label readers. 🧾 The ones who pause before sipping. The ones who actually flip the bottle around. You’re not being fussy — you’re being smart. And in today’s wellness market, that matters more than ever.

🚩 Red Flags on the Label: What to Watch For

It’s easy to be fooled by front-of-label marketing claims. But when you look closer, many energy drinks are hiding things you might not expect — or want.

❌ Artificial sweeteners – sucralose, aspartame, or acesulfame potassium may keep calories low, but they’ve been linked to gut disruption, headaches, and cravings.
❌ “Natural flavours” – this vague term can include dozens of undisclosed compounds and additives. If it’s not transparent, be cautious.
❌ Sugar alcohols (like erythritol or sorbitol) – common in “sugar-free” drinks, but can cause bloating and digestive upset.
❌ High caffeine content – large doses of synthetic caffeine can overstimulate your nervous system and lead to crashes or irritability.
❌ Preservatives and stabilisers – long shelf-life often comes at the expense of clean, recognisable ingredients.

If you’ve ever felt worse after drinking something that promised to “boost” you — this is probably why.

🌿 What Clean Energy Should Look Like

Now, let’s flip the script. Here are the signs of a genuinely clean, functional energy drink — one that supports your body instead of just stimulating it:

✅ Certified MGO500+ Manuka honey – a powerful natural ingredient used by both bees and humans for fuel, wellness, and throat support.
✅ B vitamins (especially B3, B5, B6, B12) – essential for natural energy production and cognitive function.
✅ Vitamin C – supports immunity and energy metabolism, especially during fatigue.
✅ Lemon + elderflower – not just flavour, but refreshing botanicals used in traditional wellness rituals.
✅ No refined sugar – look for natural sweeteners like real honey, not cane syrup or artificial substitutes.
