Title: New Energy Drink on horizon Post by webgopher on Aug 16th, 2009 at 9:37pm
This past week I attended a gaming convention in Indianapolis. ChaoticGame - the makers of the card game, computer game and cartoon show your kids might enjoy will be introducing four different Energy Drinks this fall. They gave out samples at the convention. One of them - Fearocity - is a Kiwi Melon Sour variety and does contain taurine, although it does not contain caffein. A 355 ml can has 750 mg of taurine along with guarana seed extract, green tea extract, ginseng root extract, yerba mate leaf extract, niacin, pantothenic acid, B6 and B12. I suggested the addition of caffein. The drink should be available in the fall.
I'm not endorsing the drink, but it does taste better than most of the other Energy Drinks I've tried (besides Monster Loco Moco). |

I see so many energy drinks out there... It is hard to sort it all out now!
The one I prefer is HIT MAN. So Far. I tend to go for the one with the most Taurine, and the least calories, But the hit man worked good for me. What a Name though.!!!! Wonder who comes up with all these names! Maybe its some one with CH ;D |

My initial reaction: I need caffeine and taurine to battle this beast. This product has one of them.

I've tried Hitman, too. I like the fact that there's only 30 cals with 2,000 mg of taurine in that little bottle. The Chaotic Energy drink taste similar to Hitman; you may have to go to gaming stores to find it. LOL. The can doesn't state how many cals. it has - probably similar to other Energy Drinks.
There is a message on the can that says "Redeem Code Under the Tab for a Free Virtual Game card". I love free cards. They couldn't sell the drink at the convention, but I begged for a can as I was there overnight and left my Topamax at home. I did chug as many samples before I left; I may have the only can pre-release out in the public domain. |

If this new Fearocity stuff contains guarana seed extract, green tea extract and yerba mate leaf extract, it likely contains caffeine, because all those plant substances contain caffeine. How much caffeine it contains is the question.

I remember reading that yerba mate contains mateine, not caffeine, and that matiene was supposedly a more benign perker upper.
Since then I've seen the mateine claim labeled false though. Not sure who to believe. |
