It&rsquo;s sourced from Germany, Singapore, the Middle East, and they even have retailers from all around the world. The drink&rsquo;s contents also do justice for its availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an overview, <strong>having an 8.5 fl.oz drink will mainly give you 80mg of caffeine and 7 calories.<\/strong> It doesn&rsquo;t have sugar and fat. Based on these, it&rsquo;s easy to say that one serving has exemplary content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, an energy drink is evidently more than its nutrition facts. In this review, we need to take several factors into account, including the price, flavors, availability, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a short answer: <strong>I&rsquo;ll give 28 Black a rating of 7 out of 10. It has good offers in terms of caffeine and vitamins, but I think there is still room for improvement when it comes to the distribution of nutrients. I also think that the use of three artificial sweeteners can be a big con.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you want to know more about what I think of 28 Black, read on to the following

It&rsquo;s an <strong>all-natural<\/strong> energy drink with no sugar and no fat. It has moderate caffeine, along with low calorie and sodium levels. However, it also has no Protein and relatively low B vitamin contents. Even so, it has <strong>Inositol<\/strong>, which is a big plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the taste, <strong>the drink also stays at the top of the ranks<\/strong>. With its many flavors, it will take a long time before you ever get sick of the taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>28 Black is also <a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/best-deals-while-buying-energy-drinks-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">budget-friendly<\/a>, one of the qualities that can be hard to achieve by an energy drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, <strong>my minus points only came from the content<\/strong>. This is a good energy drink for certain people, specifically those who need a light energy boost. But, this may seem lacking if you have heavier needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Articles\"><\/span>Related Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/best-deals-while-buying-energy-drinks-online\/\">Best Deals While Buying Energy Drinks Online (Great Discounts)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/best-energy-drinks-studying\/\">The Best Energy Drinks For Studying (Stay Smart)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/best-energy-drinks-for-running-stay-active\/\">Best Energy Drinks For Running (Stay Active)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>28 Black is basically an international energy drink.
