Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 3.9 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
The score is capped for a specific safety reason, set out below. This energy drink contains a significant amount of caffeine and artificial sweeteners, which are the primary concerns for regular consumption. While the B vitamins and amino acids offer some functional benefits, the presence of artificial sweeteners like sucralose and acesulfame potassium means long-term effects of regular use are not fully settled. The caffeine content is also notable, and intake should be monitored, especially for sensitive individuals and children. The use of identified preservatives is standard for shelf stability.

Sources cited below may be Indian (FSSAI) or international (EU, US, WHO, IARC) — an international classification or law is evidence, not an Indian regulatory finding.
Sucralose (E955)
Sucralose is an approved intense sweetener with an established acceptable daily intake. The WHO (2023) advises against relying on non-sugar sweeteners for weight control, and research into long-term gut and metabolic effects is ongoing. Heating it at very high temperatures is not recommended.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO guideline on non-sugar sweeteners (2023); EFSA/JECFA acceptable daily intake
Sucralose: regulation, sources and other products →Acesulfame Potassium (E950)
Acesulfame K is an approved intense sweetener. Regulators set an acceptable daily intake and consider it safe within it, but the WHO (2023) advises against using non-sugar sweeteners to control body weight because there is no long-term benefit and possible long-term harms, and long-term research on gut and metabolic effects is still developing.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO guideline on non-sugar sweeteners (2023); EFSA/JECFA acceptable daily intake
Acesulfame Potassium: regulation, sources and other products →Caffeine
The EU food safety authority found that up to 400 mg of caffeine a day (about 3 mg per kg of body weight a day in children and adolescents) does not raise safety concerns, and that pregnant and breastfeeding women should stay at or below 200 mg a day. Caffeine added to a drink or supplement counts toward that total alongside coffee and tea. Energy drinks and fat-burner stacks are judged by their own caps; this record explains the substance.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA Scientific Opinion on the safety of caffeine, EFSA Journal 2015;13(5):4102
Caffeine: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains Caffeine (30mg/100ml), a stimulant. Excessive intake can lead to adverse effects such as nervousness, insomnia, and increased heart rate. Adult limit is about 400 mg/day, 200 mg in pregnancy, 3 mg per kg for children.
Contains Sucralose and Acesulfame Potassium, intense artificial sweeteners. The long-term effects of regular consumption of these sweeteners are not settled.
Combined Effects interactions
L-Theanine may modulate the stimulating effects of caffeine, potentially reducing jitters and improving focus, though the overall stimulant load remains.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
