REVIEW OF XYIENCE XENERGY TANGERINE TWISTER

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 184 MILLIGRAMS PER 16 OUNCE CAN. 

RATING: 6.8 OUT OF 10.

     Over the course of this site's lifetime, I have received a multitude of samples from a plethora of different companies. As expected, the vast majority of samples Addicted 2 Energy receives are from small companies looking for some extra publicity. It is seldom that I receive free product from a large energy drink manufacturer, but that rare occurrence has recently happened. Yesterday, I received some samples of Xyience Xenergy, and I am honored to share my thoughts on their Tangerine Twister flavor.

     If you're reading this, you probably already know what a can of Xyience Xenergy looks like. This particular one is silver with overlapping red and yellow circles. Since the flavor is advertised as Tangerine Twister, I was expecting a flavor that was roughly similar to an orange soda. I suppose you could say my prediction was slightly accurate. There was in fact a presence of orange-soda, but it was tainted by sucralose and acesulfame potassium, two artificial sweeteners. You see, some flavors are great as masking the flavor of artificial sweeteners. Orange is not one of them, in my opinion. This is not my favorite Xyience flavor, but overall it was all right.

     As the official energy drink of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, it is natural to expect a potent blend from the folks at Xyience. Inside each can, there's 200 percent daily value of niacin, 500 percent daily value of vitamin b6, 160 percent daily value of vitamin b12, and 1,000 percent daily value of pantothenic acid. There is also some taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, guarana extract, ginseng extract, l-carnitine, and inositol. With pretty much all of the energy drink staples, it's not a bad blend by any means.

     A can of Xyience Xenergy Tangerine Twister will fill your body with 184 milligrams of caffeine, putting it just slightly above the industry standard. You can expect an effect that is similar to Monster Energy. As for me, I received a modest boost in my alertness and wakefulness that lasted for a couple hours.

     If I'm not mistaken, every Xyience flavor is sugar-free, which means that they need to utilize artificial sweeteners, which could hinder the flavor experience. This is exactly what happened with Tangerine Twister, but they still managed to create a decent drink. The question of whether or not it is healthier to add artificial sweeteners than it is to add actual sugar is a question for a different day.
