This means that vegans don&rsquo;t consume meat, dairy products, or anything else that is known to contain animal products as one of the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vegans, on the other hand, eat vegetables, fruits, tofu, and other plant products. Dietary supplements make up for any deficiencies caused by following a plant-based diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are numerous reasons why someone might decide to switch to a vegan diet. Sometimes it&rsquo;s just a matter of eating healthier and avoiding the chemicals that can be found in animal-based foods. And in other times, it&rsquo;s to live a life that doesn&rsquo;t contribute to animal suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Veganism_All_About_Avoiding_Meat\"><\/span>Is Veganism All About Avoiding Meat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously stated, many ingredients used in food today are derived from animals or animal byproducts. Moreover, many substances used to improve food quality in some way are tested on animals before being released to the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> All of these are things that vegans who live the lifestyle for ethical reasons refuse to support. And many of them go so far as to avoid anything that has been tested on animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As expected, this creates a grey area in terms of artificial sweeteners and food colorings. Some vegans are willing to look past the history of animal testing and consume products that have been tested on animals, whereas others consider a history of animal testing to be a disqualifier from ever being vegan-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sneak_Energy_Ingredients\"><\/span>Sneak Energy Ingredients<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To give you a bigger overview of why Sneak Energy is considered vegan, here&rsquo;s a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/us.sneakenergy.com\/pages\/ingredients\">ingredients <\/a>that you can find in a single tub:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>L-Tyrosine<\/li><li>L-Taurine<\/li><li>Alpha GPC<\/li><li>Caffeine anhydrous<\/li><li>Carnitine<\/li><li>Maltodextrin<\/li><li>Malic acid<\/li><li>Natural Flavors<\/li><li>Sucralose<\/li><li>Acesulfame Potassium<\/li><li>Spirulina Powder (food coloring)<\/li><li>Silicon Dioxide&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sneak_Ingredients_1250x.jpg\" alt=\"Sneak Energy Nutrition Facts and Ingredients\" class=\"wp-image-10423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sneak_Ingredients_1250x.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sneak_Ingredients_1250x-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sneak_Ingredients_1250x-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sneak_Ingredients_1250x.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Sneak Energy Nutrition Facts and Ingredients\" class=\"wp-image-10423 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sneak_Ingredients_1250x.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sneak_Ingredients_1250x-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sneak_Ingredients_1250x-768x576.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sneak_Ingredients_1250x.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-7\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption><em>Sneak Energy Nutrition Facts and Ingredients<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to understand how Sneak Energy is a good vegan alternative, let&rsquo;s look into its caffeine content and other of its main ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Caffeine_in_Sneak_Vegan\"><\/span>Is Caffeine in Sneak Vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"595\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/coffee-beans-917613_1250x.jpg\" alt=\"Coffee beans \" class=\"wp-image-9814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/coffee-beans-917613_1250x.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/coffee-beans-917613_1250x-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/coffee-beans-917613_1250x-768x381.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"595\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/coffee-beans-917613_1250x.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Coffee beans \" class=\"wp-image-9814 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/coffee-beans-917613_1250x.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/coffee-beans-917613_1250x-300x149.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/coffee-beans-917613_1250x-768x381.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/coffee-beans-917613_1250x.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-8\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Coffee beans <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine contains no animal byproducts because it&rsquo;s synthesized from coffee beans. The same can be said about Caffeine Anhydrous, which is the type of caffeine you can find in energy drinks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine Anhydrous is basically just very concentrated caffeine in powder form. What separates it from the usual caffeine or coffee powder is the amount of caffeine you can find per scoop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where a single serving of normal coffee will give you 95mg of caffeine, a teaspoon of caffeine anhydrous will give you enough for <a href=\"https:\/\/ingredi.com\/blog\/caffeine-anhydrous-vs-caffeine-whats-the-difference\/#:~:text=One%20teaspoon%20of%20pure%20powdered,see%20any%20severe%20side%20effects.\">28 cups<\/a> of coffee. That&rsquo;s far above what anyone can safely drink in a day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the FDA, a healthy adult can drink no more than 400mg of caffeine a day. Any more than that, and you can expect to experience some nasty side effects.&nbsp;So although neither caffeine nor caffeine anhydrous is bad for your health on its own, you might want to be careful with your intake anyway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Tyrosine_in_Sneak_Vegan\"><\/span>Is Tyrosine in Sneak Vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/tyrosine#TOC_TITLE_HDR_3\">Tyrosine<\/a> is an amino acid that promotes focus, alertness, and attention. It aids in the production of chemicals in the brain that aid in neuron communication and mood regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s synthesized in the body from another amino acid known as phenylalanine. It can also be found in dietary supplements and food. Cheese, fish, and many other high-protein foods are known to contain tyrosine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for what exactly tyrosine does for your body, here&rsquo;s a table of the hormones it produces alongside their functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-subtle-pale-blue-background-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Neurotransmitter<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Function&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Adrenaline&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Prepares the body for fight-or-flight responses in times of stress.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Noradrenaline<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Prepares the body for fight-or-flight responses in times of stress.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Thyroid hormones<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Regulate metabolism.

The FDA considers it safe to consume, but it may cause side effects if combined with other medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of this writing, it is known that tyrosine should be avoided if you are taking Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs), Levodopa (L-dopa), or thyroid medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Taurine_in_Sneak_Vegan\"><\/span>Is Taurine in Sneak Vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/what-is-taurine#what-it-is\">Taurine<\/a> is an amino acid that can be produced within the body.

It&rsquo;s best known for being important to energy metabolism and for helping maintain brain function.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be specific,<strong> L-carnitine helps break down fat so it can be converted to energy <\/strong>when you&rsquo;re low on fuel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it isn&rsquo;t synthesized to be used as medication or as an ingredient in energy drinks, L-carnitine is made in the liver and kidneys from lysine and methionine (also amino acids).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also said to give you the following benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Better heart health<\/li><li>Feeling less weak and tired (cancer patients)<\/li><li>More energy<\/li><li>Prevents cellular damage with waste removal<\/li><li>Better athletic performance<\/li><li>Aids weight loss<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But like many other things, L-carnitine has side effects to watch out for such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Stomach cramps<\/li><li>Nausea<\/li><li>Vomiting<\/li><li>Diarrhea<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking L-carnitine, some people reported having a &lsquo;fishy&rsquo; body odor.

It&rsquo;s been used as a preservative by manufacturers and as a carbohydrate supplement for athletes. When looked at in person, it appears to be a starchy white powder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be made from anything that contains starch, which typically means grains like corn and wheat. Because no animals or animal by-products are used in the manufacturing process, it is suitable for vegans and vegetarians to consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of energy drinks like Sneak, Maltodextrin is common in packaged foods. These include pastries, candies, and meat substitutes. It can also be found in soft drinks.&nbsp;It&rsquo;s also considered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/322426#is-maltodextrin-safe\">safe<\/a> to consume by the FDA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Natural_Flavors_in_Sneak_Vegan\"><\/span>Are Natural Flavors in Sneak Vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/janice-lin-yUIN4QWKCTw-unsplash_900x.jpg\" alt=\"Pizza, salad, beer, and cake \" class=\"wp-image-9915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/janice-lin-yUIN4QWKCTw-unsplash_900x.jpg 900w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/janice-lin-yUIN4QWKCTw-unsplash_900x-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/janice-lin-yUIN4QWKCTw-unsplash_900x-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/janice-lin-yUIN4QWKCTw-unsplash_900x.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Pizza, salad, beer, and cake \" class=\"wp-image-9915 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/janice-lin-yUIN4QWKCTw-unsplash_900x.jpg.webp 900w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/janice-lin-yUIN4QWKCTw-unsplash_900x-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/janice-lin-yUIN4QWKCTw-unsplash_900x-768x512.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/janice-lin-yUIN4QWKCTw-unsplash_900x.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-9\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Yup, they can all be &lsquo;Natural Flavors&rsquo;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Natural Flavors are usually vegan.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural Flavors are a <a href=\"https:\/\/veganpeak.com\/is-natural-flavor-vegan\">broad concept<\/a> that covers anything extracted from a plant or animal for the purpose of flavoring food.

As mentioned, &lsquo;Natural Flavors&rsquo; can also refer to substances that were derived from plants. It can also mean that the flavors just weren&rsquo;t based on any chemicals like artificial flavors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For reference examples of ingredients that can be &lsquo;Natural Flavors&rsquo; are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Dairy products<\/li><li>Meat<\/li><li>Seafood<\/li><li>Vegetables<\/li><li>Fruits<\/li><li>Grains&nbsp;<\/li><li>Spices<\/li><li>Herbs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So yes, it really is a mixed bag.

Its ingredients and manufacturing process contain no animals or animal byproducts. It does, however, contain some ingredients that some vegans may find objectionable.<\/strong> This was also <a href=\"https:\/\/sneakenergy.com\/pages\/faq#:~:text=Is%20Sneak%20suitable%20for%20vegetarians,products%20are%20now%20Vegan%20friendly!\">confirmed<\/a> on Sneak&rsquo;s official FAQ.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sneak Energy, in my opinion, is worth a shot. Aside from being vegan-friendly, it is also low in sugar and calories, unlike other brands. So it&rsquo;s at least slightly healthier than most brands. Try not to overdo it with the caffeine though. 200mg of caffeine per serving can be a lot depending on your tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Articles\"><\/span>Other Articles:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/sneak-caffeine-and-ingredients\/\">Sneak Caffeine and Ingredients (And More)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-sneak-energy-bad-for-you\/\">Is Sneak Energy Bad for You?
