our rating

Best for healthy adults without the conditions listed on the warning label who want a superfruit-and-antioxidant energy drink with modest, disclosed caffeine.

What we liked

  • 24 mg of caffeine per serving from guarana and yerba mate, clearly disclosed rather than hidden in a blend
  • Acai, pomegranate and green tea extract for genuine antioxidant variety
  • Four amino acids (taurine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, glycine) included for cognitive/nervous-system support
  • 45 servings per bottle at $59.95 — the best per-serving value in this batch

What to know

  • The label carries a specific, longer warning list than most Isotonix products — see the safety section before buying
  • Contains caffeine, so it is not appropriate for everyone regardless of the modest 24 mg dose
  • Only confirmed sold through the US and Taiwan Isotonix stores
  • Reviewers consistently compare it to coffee rather than energy drinks — a fair expectation to set

Key takeaways

  • Built around acai berry, pomegranate, and green tea extract for antioxidants, plus guarana and yerba mate for a disclosed 24 mg of caffeine per serving.
  • Also includes 5 B vitamins, vitamin C, and 4 amino acids (taurine, L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine, glycine).
  • The label carries a specific, longer warning list than most Isotonix products — covering MAOI/ACE inhibitor medications, PKU, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, schizophrenia/bipolar disorder, and pregnancy/breastfeeding.
  • 2 small capfuls (6.6 g) in 4 fl oz water, once daily, empty stomach for best absorption. 45 servings per bottle.

What’s actually in it

This is positioned as an antioxidant-forward energy drink, built on real “superfruit” ingredients plus a modest, disclosed caffeine dose rather than a large stimulant hit.

Acai
Acai Berry, Pomegranate & Green Tea Extract
Three antioxidant-rich botanicals, credited with supporting energy, cognitive health, and general antioxidant protection.
24mg
Guarana & Yerba Mate (24 mg caffeine)
Two herbal caffeine sources, combined for a disclosed 24 mg per serving — the company notes guarana itself contains roughly twice the caffeine of coffee beans by weight, but the finished per-serving dose here is modest.
5B+C
5 B Vitamins + Vitamin C
Included for immune function, cardiovascular support, and antioxidant protection alongside the botanical blend.
AA
Taurine, L-Tyrosine, L-Phenylalanine, Glycine
Four amino acids credited with supporting muscular, cognitive, and central nervous system function.

How it’s taken: 2 small capfuls (6.6 g) in 4 fl oz water, once daily, ideally on an empty stomach. 45 servings per bottle.

Read this warning first

This is the most important section of this review, and we’d rather lead with it than bury it. The official product label carries a specific, direct warning, quoted here in full because it matters more than any other detail on this page:

From the official label: “If you are currently taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) or angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, you should not use this product. If you have phenylketonuria (PKU), high blood pressure, thyroid disease/Graves’ disease, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, you should not use this product. Take this supplement separately from prescription drugs. If you are currently using any other prescription drugs or have any other ongoing medical condition, consult your health care provider before using this product. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not use this product. This product contains caffeine.”

This is a longer and more specific list than most supplements carry, largely because of the combination of caffeine sources with phenylalanine (relevant to PKU) and stimulant-adjacent botanicals (relevant to blood pressure and psychiatric conditions). If any of the above applies to you, this isn’t a “check with your doctor” gray area — the label states plainly not to use it.

What reviewers actually say

At 4.8 stars across 22 reviews, the consistent theme is reviewers using it as a coffee replacement specifically — several describe using it daily for years, and multiple mention no jitters at the 24 mg dose. It’s worth noting the comparison reviewers reach for is coffee, not a traditional energy drink, which matches the actual caffeine math.

Frequently asked questions

How much caffeine does it contain?
24 mg per serving, from guarana and yerba mate combined — disclosed on the label, roughly a quarter of a typical cup of coffee.
Who should not take this product?+
Per the official label: anyone on MAOI or ACE inhibitor medications, anyone with PKU, high blood pressure, thyroid disease/Graves’ disease, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, and anyone pregnant or breastfeeding.
Is it the same as Isotonix Turn Up?+
They’re different formulas with some overlap: both use guarana/yerba mate for a disclosed 24 mg of caffeine, but this product leans on acai/pomegranate/green tea for antioxidants while Turn Up adds CoQ10 and B12 methylcobalamin specifically for focus.
Where can I actually buy it?+
Confirmed sold through the US and Taiwan Isotonix storefronts.
How many servings per bottle?+
45 servings, the most of any product in this article batch, at 2 small capfuls (6.6 g) per serving.

Our verdict

“A well-reviewed, genuinely low-caffeine energy option — but the warning label is longer than most, and worth reading in full before you buy.”

The antioxidant blend and disclosed 24 mg caffeine dose are honestly presented, and 45 servings per bottle is real value. The one thing that keeps this from a higher score isn’t the formula itself, it’s making sure the specific contraindication list (MAOI/ACE inhibitors, PKU, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, schizophrenia/bipolar, pregnancy) gets read, not skipped.
