Keep in mind any drink without caffeine can&rsquo;t replace an energy drink or supplement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We can call NAU powder vegan since it doesn&rsquo;t contain animal-sourced ingredients.

This natural ingredient belongs to the mint family.&nbsp;It is loaded with antioxidants and contains some beneficial nutrients. Additionally, this herb enhances your brain function and lowers your blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, there are no reported side effects with the use of Sage-containing products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give your brain the focus it needs, NAU contains an amino acid called L-theanine. This ingredient can be found in nearly every energy supplement and drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This amino acid, usually found in coffee or green tea, aims to improve your cognitive function. Use of L-theanine may provide you with the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/l-theanine#:~:text=It%E2%80%99s%20said%20to%20help%20ease%20anxiety%2C%20stress%2C%20and%20reduce%20insomnia.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">benefits<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Relief from stress<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Relief from anxiety<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Enhanced immune system<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Better focus<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Energy boost<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>NAU drink is somehow a focus drink because of these benefits and L-theanine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nutrition-facts\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nutrition_Facts\"><\/span>Nutrition Facts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_7176_2_768x-1.png\" alt=\"Nau Energy\" class=\"wp-image-523728\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_7176_2_768x-1.png.webp\" alt=\"Nau Energy\" class=\"wp-image-523728 lazyload\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_7176_2_768x-1-e1644934288226.png\" width=\"768\" height=\"917\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Nutritions of NAU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>400 ml, which is one portion of NAU ready drink, has the following nutrition facts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Energy<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>133 k\/31 kcal<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Carbohydrates<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7.7g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Of which sugars<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.5g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Vitamin b6<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.8mg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Niacine<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8.8mg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption>Nutrition facts of NAU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A 10g powder of NAU powder provides 31 kcal of energy.
