Monster Energy Drink

Monster energy drink is a popular energy drink marketed and manufactured for Hanson’s naturals.  The unique logo captures one’s eye as you see a can of Monster in your favorite grocer’s refrigerated beverages section.  Monster uses a caffiene content of 10 mg per ounce, and has heavy distribution over the years via Coca-Cola, Anheuser Busch, and other monsters, (no pun-intended) like Schweppes in Australia.

Other ingredients contained in Monster Energy drinks are Carbonated Water, Sucrose, Glucose (broken down sucrose), Taurine, Sodium Citrate, Color Added, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, L-Carnitine, Caffeine, Sorbic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Niacinamide, Sodium Chloride, Glucuronolactone, Inositol, Guarana Seed, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Sucralose, Riboflavin, Maltodextrin, Cyancobalamin.

With an extensive line-up of energy drink flavors, it’s no coinidence Monster has a large market share.

The above information was found on WikiPedia.com.  I thought they had great information, so I just re-posted it here on my energy drink review blog.

I’m not a big Monster Energy drink consumer, but now that I know they have so many flavors, I will certainly start giving them a try and update this Monster review accordingly. If you have any comments on Monster’s flavors, please submit your review by leaving a comment.
