Its caffeine contents, which in many energy drinks are very high, are actually pretty decent for its size. The only concerning factor is the high amount of sugar in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even that ceases to become an issue when you see that there is a sugar-free version of Irn-Bru Energy available. So anyone who is concerned about the sugar contents can just go for the sugar-free Irn-Bru Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sugar-free version even has significantly fewer calories, so it&rsquo;s good even for those who are trying to lose weight or remain in a caloric deficit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the standard version is pretty safe as long as you&rsquo;re smart with it.

But if you&rsquo;re interested in buying online, you can get it from online stores like <strong>Amazon or eBay.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the price, a 12 pack of Irn-Bru Energy off of Amazon costs <strong>13.99 euros,<\/strong> which roughly translates to a bit over 1 Euro for a single can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sugar-free version is more expensive, but not with much of a margin. It comes in at<strong> 16.87 euros<\/strong> for a 12-pack. I would personally recommend that you buy this version, as it&rsquo;s much safer than its counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Irn-Bru Energy is a good energy drink that is safe for most people to drink. Be it vegan people, gluten-sensitive people, or people who are just looking for a strong boost with the classic taste of Irn-Bru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overall, it&rsquo;s pretty well-rounded with a slightly high caffeine content, some calories, and B-Vitamins, but with a somewhat worrying amount of sugar. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But thankfully it also comes in a sugar-free variant, so that even diabetic people can enjoy the goodness of Irn-Bru Energy.<\/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><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/redbull-peach-edition-review\/\">Red Bull Peach Edition Review<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-extra-joss-vegan\/\">Is Extra Joss Vegan?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-rockstar-gluten-free-in-depth\/\">Is Rockstar Gluten-Free?<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irn-Bru Energy is a vegan energy drink made by AG Barr.
