Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Reign Red Dragon positions itself within the energy drink market, aiming to provide a performance boost. However, its ingredients list raises concerns regarding its alignment with cleaner food principles. The product is not organic, and it lacks non-GMO certification, which are significant factors in its low score. The inclusion of citric acid, while commonly used as a preservative and flavor enhancer, has been identified as an added sugar, which detracts from the product’s health profile. More concerning are the artificial sweeteners acesulfame potassium and sucralose, which contribute to the product’s negative assessment due to their controversial health impacts.
The product also contains several additives that have been flagged as potentially harmful. Natural flavors, a term that encompasses a broad range of substances, can be misleading as their sources and effects are not always clear. Preservatives such as potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, while common in food and beverage products, have been associated with health risks in some studies. Additionally, the presence of sodium citrate and pyridoxine hydrochloride, a form of vitamin B6, contribute to the product’s deductions, as their necessity and impact in this context are questionable.
The proprietary blend of ingredients in Reign Red Dragon, which includes L-Citrulline, Panax Ginseng Extract, caffeine, L-Carnitine, Green Tea Extract, and Capsicum, is intended to offer thermogenic and performance benefits. However, these potential benefits are overshadowed by the product’s overall composition, which does not meet the criteria for a clean and healthy option according to the rating system used.
With these considerations, Reign Red Dragon receives the lowest recommendation for those seeking cleaner, healthier food and beverage choices. Its composition, characterized by a range of non-organic, GMO, and potentially harmful ingredients, positions it far from the ideal of a clean food product. The evaluation process is thorough, prioritizing the health and wellness of consumers in a market saturated with less wholesome options.
