How to Find an Energy Drink With No Carbonation or Caffeine
SEA2O Organic Energy Drink
The SEA2O Organic Energy Drink is a possible choice if you want to guzzle an energy drink with no carbonation or caffeine.
The primary “energetic” ingredient in the SEA2O Organic Energy Drink is organic agave nectar, which the manufacturer claims is better for blood sugar than caffeine. The USDA also certified this as an organic beverage.
Agave is a natural sugar that consists of about 92 percent glucose, according to manufacturer advertisements. The SEA2O Organic Energy Drink also contains purported antioxidants like seaweed extract; the beverage also consists of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and 7.5 grams of fiber per 10.5 ounce can.
As of 2010, available flavors include ginger-lemon-lime, pomegranate, peach-mango, and citrus fruit blends.
As this beverage is manufactured in Seattle, those not living in major West Coast cities or areas such as New York may need to consider mail order.
e10 Energy Drink
The e10 Energy Drink does not contain caffeine, but unfortunately includes carbonation. Since the market for caffeine and carbonation free energy drinks is apparently rather limited, you may want to consider going for this or similar caffeine-free options.
This drink’s advertising campaign claims it is “energy to the 10th power,” hence the e10 name. The ingredients, as noted on the manufacturer’s website, include amino acids, herbs, and vitamins. The e10 Energy Drink also is advertised as sugar-free and consists of only three calories.
The “energy” in e10 is derived from ingredients like panax ginseng, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin 6.
One word of caution; the e10 Energy Drink offers about 20 ounces of fluid in one container. A single 8 ounce serving consists of 4000 percent of the Vitamin B12 daily value recommended by the National Institute of Health. Drinking the whole can would thus give you about 10,000 percent of the recommended Vitamin B12 dosage.
If you’re taking supplements and drinking e10 on a regular basis, you could end up with some unpleasant side effects from vitamin toxicity. While actually dying from too much B12 is rare, the Mayo Clinic notes that potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, swelling, arthritis, anxiety, and lack of coordination. If you suffer such symptoms and may have ingested too much Vitamin B12, immediately consult a qualified medical professional.
As of 2010, this alternative to an energy drink with no carbonation of caffeine apparently must usually be ordered through the manufacturer’s website.
