What is a Brain Energy® soft drink?

A soft drink for thinking, not for racing.

Brain Energy® is our idea of a soft drink: just the right amount of caffeine, from a natural source, and no sugar. A can has 20 mg, less than a third of an espresso and a quarter of a classic energy drink.

Ingredients

What’s inside. And why.

Few ingredients, each with a job: the natural caffeine, the flavour or the signature touch of the recipe.

  • Sugar-free
  • Low energy · 10 kcal per can
  • No colourings

The natural caffeine

Yerba mate

The leaf people in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay have been drinking for centuries. It gives every can its caffeine: 20 mg, less than a cola. And that herbal note you taste when you drink it.

The tradition

Lion’s mane

An edible mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) used for centuries in Chinese and Japanese cooking. We add it as an extract to every can.

The flavour

Fruit

Organic lemon juice and fruit extracts: mango, passion fruit and rhubarb in Focus; blueberry and strawberry in Mood; yuzu, grapefruit and mint in Immunity.

What’s not in it

0 g of sugars

Sweetened with sucralose, no colourings and 10 kcal per 250 ml can. Lightly sparkling.
