REDCON1 Energy

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

REDCON1 Energy scores 37/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

REDCON1 Energy lists 8 ingredients, starting with Taurine, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Potassium Citrate, Coffee Beans and Sucralose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 37/100 REDCON1 Energy scores worse than most energy drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in energy drinks is Clean Simple Eats Energy + Focus Energy Drink, Lava Tropic, 12 fl oz at 39/100.
