CELSIUS Sparkling Orange — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates CELSIUS Sparkling Orange by Celsius DUMP — score 17/90.

An engineered stimulant drink health-washed as a metabolism booster. Under the vitamin stack it's caffeine, taurine, guarana and sucralose in carbonated water.

Why this verdict

• Stacked stimulants: caffeine + guarana + green tea extract + taurine + glucuronolactone
• Sucralose is an artificial sweetener the body isn't built for
• 20-ingredient lab formula, NOVA 4 ultra-processed
• 'No preservatives' but citric acid is right there (and got them sued)
• Synthetic vitamin dump is fortification, not real nourishment

Ingredients (18)

• Carbonated Filtered Water (safe) — The base. No concern.
• citric acid (safe) — Acidity and tartness adjuster.
• Taurine (moderate) — Standard energy-drink amino acid; unremarkable at these doses.
• GUARANA SEED EXTRACT (caution) — Concentrated plant caffeine layered on top of the added caffeine.
• Caffeine (moderate) — Mild stimulant, 43mg per serving. Fine in moderation but makes the drink mildly habit-forming.
• GREEN TEA EXTRACT (moderate) — Source of caffeine and marketing 'antioxidants.'
• Sucralose (moderate) — Artificial sweetener; unexpected in a bakery pie and a second sweetness source.
• calcium carbonate (safe) — Added calcium — a mineral fortificant.
• ascorbic acid (moderate) — A common refined oil that adds to calorie content.
• Glucuronolactone (moderate) — Classic energy-drink additive with thin evidence for any benefit.
• Ginger Root Extract (safe) — Flavor/functional botanical; benign in this amount.
• niacinamide (safe) — Vitamin B3 fortification.
• Natural flavor (moderate) — Undisclosed flavor blend; minor but not fully transparent.
• Riboflavin (safe) — Added B2 vitamin.
• Chromium Chelate (moderate) — Trace mineral added to bolster the 'metabolism' narrative.
• biotin (safe) — B7, synthetic fortification.
• beta carotene (safe) — Natural color source rather than an artificial dye.
• Cyanocobalamin) (safe) — Synthetic B12 fortification.
