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) — Just water with CO2; harmless base.
- Caffeine Anhydrous (concerning) — Concentrated stimulant; risky stacked with guarana and undeclared as a wellness shake.
- Sucralose (moderate) — Second artificial sweetener; combining it with sugar and Acesulfame K is engineered hyper-sweetness, not a 'lighter' drink.
- Acesulfame Potassium (moderate) — Intense artificial sweetener; adds to the multi-sweetener stack.
- D-Glucuronolactone (moderate) — A synthetic compound added to energy drinks with thin evidence of benefit; a marker of an engineered formula.
- Taurine (safe) — Amino acid added for an energy-drink halo; benign in this dose.
- 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 (safe) — Supplement compound marketed for energy metabolism; little real-world effect from a drink.
- Choline bitartrate (safe) — Synthetic choline source added to bulk the 'functional' label.
- 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) — Unspecified flavour compounds; benign but add nothing nutritionally.
- Acidity Regulators (Malic Acid, Citric Acid) (moderate) — Added acids for tartness; the acid load can be tough on tooth enamel over time.
