Ghost Energy Drink
Summary
Ghost Energy Drink scores 44/100. The best nootropic stack among mainstream energy drinks — L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (1000mg), Alpha-GPC (150mg), natural caffeine from coffee beans (200mg), methylcobalamin B12, pyridoxal-5-phosphate (bioactive B6), astragalus and notoginseng extracts, and NeuroFactor coffee fruit extract. However, the 'Authentic Flavors. Zero Sugars. No BS.' marketing is undermined by sucralose, acesulfame potassium, artificial flavors, and dual chemical preservatives (sodium benzoate + potassium sorbate). The strongest functional formula trapped in the same additive problems.
