Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Rockstar Watermelon Kiwi energy drink falls short of healthier food standards due to its composition. The beverage is not organic, nor does it use non-GMO ingredients, which negatively impacts its rating on our scale. The inclusion of added sugars, such as citric acid and erythritol, further detract from its score.

More concerning, however, are the additional sweeteners acesulfame potassium and sucralose, which are considered more harmful types of added sugars. The product also contains a range of potentially harmful additives, including natural flavors, flavor, potassium sorbate, sodium citrate, caramel color, Red 40, pyridoxine hydrochloride, glucuronolactone, and sodium citrate. These ingredients contribute to the overall low score, as they are not aligned with cleaner food options.

Compounding these concerns are known harmful additives like caramel color, sodium benzoate, Blue 1, and Red 40. These substances are notorious for their negative health implications and are best avoided in a diet focused on clean eating.

The Rockstar Watermelon Kiwi energy drink is packed with a variety of B vitamins, such as niacinamide (Vitamin B3), calcium pantothenate (Vitamin B5), pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), and cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12). It also contains other ingredients aimed at boosting energy, including taurine, caffeine, milk thistle extract, Panax ginseng root extract, guarana seed extract, and inositol. However, the presence of these potentially beneficial ingredients does not offset the negative impact of the additives and non-organic components.

The product’s low rating reflects its alignment with a diet that prioritizes clean, wholesome ingredients. The Rockstar Watermelon Kiwi is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options, as it contains a multitude of additives and artificial sweeteners that are best avoided for optimal health.
