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

Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, the ‘Rockstar Throwback Edition: O.G.’ is a beverage that our assessment finds to be among the least healthy options available. This energy drink is not organic, includes GMO ingredients, and is laden with added sugars such as sugar and glucose syrup. The presence of these sugars not only raises concerns about their impact on overall health but also contributes to the product’s low rating.
Further degrading its score, the ‘Rockstar Throwback Edition: O.G.’ contains a range of additives. Among these, natural and artificial flavors, sodium citrate, and caramel color are notable. These additives, while commonly found in many processed foods, are viewed as potentially harmful in our evaluation criteria. More concerning are the known harmful additives such as artificial flavors, sodium benzoate, and Yellow 5. These ingredients are flagged for their negative health implications.
The drink also contains various preservatives like potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, which, although they extend shelf life, are not aligned with the cleaner food options that our website promotes. High fructose corn syrup, implied by the term ‘artificial flavor’, is another significant detractor due to its association with various health issues when consumed in large quantities.
Despite the inclusion of some B-vitamins and extracts like milk thistle and guarana, the overall composition of the drink does not align with the principles of clean eating. The focus on cleaner, more natural, and health-supportive ingredients is paramount for products to receive a higher green leaf rating on our site.
The ‘Rockstar Throwback Edition: O.G.’ receives our lowest possible green leaf rating due to its non-organic status, GMO content, added sugars, and various harmful additives. We recommend consumers seeking healthier beverage options to consider alternatives that better align with the principles of clean and healthful eating.
