Its owner is Osotspa Co. Ltd., based in Bangkok, Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Though it may be of Asian origins, Shark boasts a distribution network in more than 80 countries, meaning that millions of people drink it to fuel their daily lives.<\/strong> It comes in different variations like a sugar-free version, a carbonated version, and a non-carbonated version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was my introduction for Shark Energy, but you&rsquo;re not here for that, are you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you want to know is if Shark Energy&rsquo;s bad for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer your question briefly, <strong>Shark Energy is quite a healthy energy drink, and will only be bad for you if you overconsume it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But surely you won&rsquo;t be satisfied with just that statement. Read this article in its entirety as I will explain exactly how Shark Energy won&rsquo;t be harmful to you as long as you&rsquo;re strict with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

Its manufacturer is a company called Osotspa Co. Ltd and it is based in the capital of Thailand, Bangkok.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It launched its first energy drink M-150 in 1970 which became a countrywide phenomenon. In the year 2000, Shark Energy drink was let loose upon the world and it has been spreading its network throughout all continents since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shark Energy&rsquo;s Price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A 24-pack Shark Energy drink comes in at 30 US dollars, according to their <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sharkenergyusa.com\/product\/shark-melon-apple\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This translates to exactly <strong>$1.25 for each 8.4 fl.oz can<\/strong>, which is pretty reasonable for an energy drink. Especially because some of its competitors can cost up to $2 for a can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/where-to-buy-red-bull\/\">Red Bull<\/a> costs $1.99 per 8.4 fl.oz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes Shark a viable option for people who are looking for an energy drink that gives them great value for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason behind the low price could be that the amount of caffeine in Shark Energy is pretty modest, at just 50mg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> It makes sense too, especially because brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/drink-bang-shots-every-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bang<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/celsius-energy-drink-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Celsius<\/a> have 200 milligrams to 300 milligrams of caffeine, which may justify the higher price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives_to_Shark_Energy\"><\/span>Alternatives to Shark Energy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Asia is home to a multitude of great energy drinks.
