Science Behind Vibal Energy Tea

Vibal Energy Tea is not your stereotypical energy drink.

Hi. I’m Caffeine Scientist GreenEyedGuide. In this episode of the Caffeine at Midnight podcast, I want to talk about an energy drink with no artificial sweeteners nor flavors. This drink has as much caffeine as two cups of coffee, yet the caffeine comes from green tea extract. Do you know what it is? It’s Vibal Energy Tea, and today we’ll talk about the ingredients, whether this drink is safe and healthy enough to drink every day, and how this compares to a stereotypical energy drink like Monster Energy Rehab.

Everything Wrong with Dwayne Johnson’s New Energy Drink

Set your BS-meter to high for this news about Dwayne Johnson's new energy drink.

In this YouTube episode, GreenEyedGuide highlights misleading parts of the announcement about Dwayne Johnson’s new energy drink.

In fact, I’ve studied energy drinks for almost 20 years and I get this question all the time.

Science Behind Kill Cliff Ignite - In This Post:

GreenEyedGuide

Hi there. I'm Caffeine Scientist, Author, and Speaker GreenEyedGuide. I help people beat burnout with caffeine science.

More than 90% of the population drinks caffeine every day. But when and how you drink your caffeine makes a huge difference in your health and well-being. I use my science background to help people drink caffeine strategically. In other words, I help people work better, sleep better, and feel better.

I earned my degrees in biochemistry and food science. Then I wrote a book about energy drink ingredients and safety concerns. After that, I wrote a book about How to Get Sh*t Done When You Feel Like Sh*t“. Above all, my goal as the “GreenEyedGuide” is to be a resource (ahem, a guide) for people who drink caffeine.

Short on time? Listen to "The Science Behind Kill Cliff Ignite" on the Caffeine at Midnight podcast.
