Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Reign Reignbow Sherbet energy drink is not recommended for consumers seeking cleaner food options. The product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, leading to initial deductions in its rating. Additionally, the presence of added sugars, particularly citric acid, further reduces its score. More concerning is the inclusion of artificial sweeteners such as acesulfame potassium and sucralose, which are significant detractors from the product’s overall health profile.

The product also contains a range of additives that raise health concerns. Natural flavors are a vague ingredient that could encompass a variety of substances, which are not specified and could potentially be harmful. Moreover, potassium sorbate and sodium citrate are included as preservatives, which may have negative health implications. The presence of pyridoxine hydrochloride, a form of vitamin B6, and sodium citrate, used twice in the ingredient list, also contribute to the product’s low score.

Of particular note is sodium benzoate, a preservative that, when combined with citric acid, forms benzene, a known carcinogen. This combination significantly impacts the product’s health rating.

The inclusion of nutrients such as niacinamide (vitamin B3), magnesium lactate, coenzyme Q-10, and vitamins B6 and B12, does not offset the negative impact of the other ingredients. While these nutrients may offer some health benefits, they are overshadowed by the presence of the aforementioned additives and artificial ingredients.

With these factors in mind, the Reign Reignbow Sherbet energy drink receives the lowest possible rating on our scale. The product’s composition, with its non-organic status, GMO ingredients, added sugars, artificial sweeteners, and potentially harmful additives, makes it an undesirable choice for consumers prioritizing clean eating. The green leaf rating reflects a strong recommendation to avoid this product in favor of healthier, more natural options available on the market.
