- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Monster Hydro Purple Passion is a beverage that raises concerns due to its ingredients list. This product is neither organic nor does it use non-GMO ingredients, which detracts significantly from its overall health profile. The presence of added sugars such as sugar and citric acid further diminishes its standing, as these contribute to the high caloric content without offering nutritional benefits.
The inclusion of additional sweeteners like acesulfame potassium, glucose, and sucralose exacerbates the issue, as these are considered more harmful types of added sugars. These ingredients have been associated with negative health impacts when consumed in excess. The product also contains a range of additives, some of which may pose potential health risks. Natural flavors and sodium citrate are included in this category, although the term ‘natural flavors’ can encompass a variety of substances that are not always specified.
Particularly troubling are the artificial colors Blue 1 and Red 40, which are known harmful additives. These synthetic dyes have been linked to hyperactivity in children and other health concerns, leading to their avoidance by health-conscious consumers.
The Monster Hydro Purple Passion, with its combination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and artificial additives, falls to the lowest rank in our assessment. This product does not align with the aim of providing cleaner food options. For those seeking healthier alternatives, it is advisable to choose beverages with a higher green leaf rating that are free from such controversial ingredients. The priority should be on products that prioritize natural, organic, and non-GMO components, without the need for added sugars and artificial additives.
