Elite Energy raises the bar in energy drinks with 12 active ingredients

Elite Energy Drink

We’re seeing more and more examples recently of competitors in the massive energy drink category standing above the many others they’re going up against by making their formulas significantly more complex and functional. Elite Energy is one of the newer names in the game, and it is pushing the boundaries of how advanced you get in the formulation department, bringing together various ingredients that rival moderate pre-workout or nootropic supplements.

The newcomer’s flagship Elite Energy Drink is stacked full of active ingredients at respectable dosages to support energy, focus, cognition, stress, performance, strength, and even recovery. It features one of the most robust formulas we’ve seen in the canned and carbonated format, and while some of the dosages could be better, keep in mind it is going up beverages that typically stick to vitamins, minerals, taurine, and caffeine.

The Elite Energy Drink packs detailed mix of nootropics, adaptogens, and energy ingredients, featuring 250mg of the powerhouse Cognizin, 100mg of lion’s mane, theanine, a light 100mg of tyrosine, and 200mg of Alpha GPC to deliver focus, and 175mg of natural caffeine from green tea. All of that is topped off with 250mg of metabolism-supporting Carnipure carnitine, coQ10, absorption-enhancing BioPerine, and one of our favorite strength, performance, and muscle-building ingredients, Senactiv, at a full dosage of 50mg in a sleek 12oz can.

As mentioned, the increase in the size of the energy drink category has led brands to become more competitive in formula, and despite all of the complex competitors we’ve seen so far, Elite Energy is one of the most robust and comprehensive out there. The nootropic side of this is on point thanks to Cognizin and alpha-gpc, plus you get the unique functionality of KSM-66 Ashwagandha, and the performance power of Senactiv.

Unsurprisingly, with so much attention on a quality formula, the Elite Energy Drink continues that functionality into the nutrition profile, where you get zero sugar and just a gram of carbohydrates in a single 12oz can. Formulas do tend to be a difference maker in cost, but a case of Elite Energy’s signature product is right around other brands that offer a little something more, with Amazon selling cases of 12 at $34.95 in three different flavors.
