I do not think companies who make products like this, toxic and/or harmful, should be allowed to manufacture their product. With their big advertising campaigns… people and our children are just looking for illness and disease. It doesn’t seem fair to do that to unsuspecting people.
For those who are interested in an energy drink that does not have any caffeine, sugar, chemical stimulants - that does provide nutrition hence energy take a look at NingXia Red. It won’t make your blood sticky or give you a stoke. It also surpasses it’s competitors by a landslide!
