Moose Juice Extreme Energy Passion Fruit — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates Moose Juice Extreme Energy Passion Fruit by Moose Juice ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
A lab-built stimulant drink: high caffeine plus a stack of amino acids and synthetic vitamins, sweetened with two artificial sweeteners. The 'clean energy' framing hides a chemistry-textbook formula.
Why this verdict
- ~200mg caffeine per can - a heavy stimulant dose, not a casual drink
- Two artificial sweeteners (sucralose + acesulfame K) fake sweetness with no nutrition
- Engineered stack of taurine, D-glucuronolactone, BCAAs and synthetic vitamins reads like a lab formula
- Carbonated water plus additives - zero whole-food content
- NOVA 4 ultra-processed beverage built for stimulation, not nourishment
Ingredients (13)
- Carbonated Water (safe) — Basic component of most beverages, provides fizziness.
- Caffeine Anhydrous (concerning) — Concentrated stimulant; risky stacked with guarana and undeclared as a wellness shake.
- Sucralose (moderate) — Artificial sweetener; unexpected in a bakery pie and a second sweetness source.
- Acesulfame Potassium (caution) — Second artificial sweetener stacked with sucralose.
- D-Glucuronolactone (moderate) — Energy-blend filler with thin evidence of benefit.
- Taurine (moderate) — Standard energy-drink amino acid; unremarkable at these doses.
- Branch Chain Amino Acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine) (safe) — Isolated supplement aminos marketed for muscle recovery; harmless but you get them from real protein.
- L-TYROSINE (safe) — Isolated amino acid added for a focus angle; not harmful.
- L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (moderate) — Supplement-aisle ingredient at a dose too small to matter.
- Choline bitartrate (safe) — Supplemental choline for liver and nerve function.
- B Vitamins (B6, Niacin, B12, Folic Acid) (safe) — Synthetic vitamin panel; fine but most people already get enough, so it's mainly label dressing.
- Flavourings (moderate) — Undisclosed added flavor compounds engineered to mimic BBQ ribs.
- Acidity Regulators (Malic Acid, Citric Acid) (moderate) — Added acids for tartness; the acid load can be tough on tooth enamel over time.
