If you don't normally have caffeine, you may still be very sensitive toward it when you do have it.

Other than that, Vitamin A in large doses can make one on edge or aggressive. That drink provides 100% Vit. A, which is fine, but if you are getting a lot more somewhere else it could be adding up.
But more likely it's the caffeine.

Basically the drink is a vitamin capsule. It has a nice profile of vitamins. Though they are the basic chemicals, not organically-bound, methylated or liposome, they are still good. Then it has what looks like a nice selection of metabolic support, including some amino acids. The problem seems to lie in the energy component it uses, which is primarily caffeine.

You could try a "green" drink instead. They don't seem to break down their analyses into chemical components, but a good one will do everything you current one does metabolically, but without the caffeine. It might not have an energy kick, but that's easy to get with the right food.

I don’t drink soda. Its full of refined sugars that aren’t helpful and distort the palate. If you enjoy them Italian sodas are best. Monin makes an organic syrup that’s nice if you don’t want to make your own.

I was told several years ago (by the Holy Spirit) to reduce my caffeine intake if I desired children again. I have roughly six ounces per day. I no longer drink hot coffee. I make cold brew instead.

I don’t have the reactions you describe but my consumption is small. And I’ve never had energy drinks at all.
