You may have seen the brand around and gotten intrigued by its stand-out packaging, especially since many energy drink brands come in either cans, bottles, or sachets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, Zipfizz is the real deal. It&rsquo;s a low-calorie booster that contains only a fraction of the <a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/zip-fizz-caffeine-and-ingredients\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12202\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">caffeine<\/a> content present in most energy drinks. Furthermore, the caffeine is also naturally-sourced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may sound tempting to you, but it&rsquo;s still better to do a close inspection of Zipfizz&rsquo;s ingredients. And if you&rsquo;re a vegan, there may be some ingredients in the powdered drink that are not up to snuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>True enough, there are a couple of elements, namely Taurine and L-Arginine, that are not vegan-friendly.

This means that Zipfizz is a pretty low-caffeinated drink, so if you&rsquo;re a beginner at energy drinks, you can definitely try Zipfizz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the drink is also sugar-free, so Zipfizz clears most dietary restrictions. Each tube has 2500mcg of Vitamin B12, which amounts to 41,667% of the<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminB12-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\"> daily recommended intake<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-the-sources-of-these-ingredients\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Sources_of_these_Ingredients\"><\/span><strong>What are the Sources of these Ingredients?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Caffeine<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Plant source<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Flavoring compounds<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Plant source <\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Xylitol<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Plant source <\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Vitamin B6<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Synthetic source<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Potassium citrate<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Synthetic source <\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Ginseng Extract<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Plant source  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Taurine<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Primarily found in animals<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">L- Arginine<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Primarily found in animals<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Green tea leaf extract<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Plant source<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Grape skin extract<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Plant source<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-all-ingredients-in-zipfizz-vegan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_All_Ingredients_in_Zipfizz_Vegan\"><\/span><strong>Are All Ingredients in Zipfizz Vegan?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sadly, not all Zipfizz ingredients are vegan. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is true that most of its contents are either plant-based or synthetically produced, but because of its Taurine, Vitamin B12, and L-Arginine, Zipfizz isn&rsquo;t all the way vegan-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"taurine\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taurine\"><\/span><strong>Taurine<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taurine is a naturally occurring amino acid<\/strong> <strong>in your body<\/strong>.

Animal foods, such as meat, fish, and dairy, are the primary dietary sources of taurine. Smaller levels can also be found in some plant foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have heard rumors that Taurine comes from bull sperm, but most energy drinks brands actually synthetically produce the Taurine in their products.

You may also know it by its other name, cobalamine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin B12 is water-soluble and the body may keep the ingested vitamin for up to four years and flush any excess B12 in the urine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get it from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/219822#foods\" target=\"_blank\">animal sources<\/a> such as meat and fish, particularly haddock and tuna. Milk, cheese, and yogurt are also other sources of B12, as well as several nutritive yeast products and eggs. Because of this, vitamin B12 is not considered vegan-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"l-arginine\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"L-Arginine\"><\/span><strong>L-Arginine<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to Taurine,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-875\/l-arginine\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-875\/l-arginine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> L-Arginine<\/a> is another amino acid that aids in your bodily function. But L-Arginine particularly affects blood flow and the production of the growth hormone and insulin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L-Arginine is sourced from dairy, fish, and other meat.

It is sweetened by artificial sweeteners Sucralose and xylitol which are <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/food-additives-petitions\/additional-information-about-high-intensity-sweeteners-permitted-use-food-united-states\" target=\"_blank\">FDA<\/a> approved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0273230009000786\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0273230009000786\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sucralose<\/a> is an artificial sweetener sold under the brand name &ldquo;Splenda.&rdquo; It is a byproduct of multi-step sugar manufacturing. Sucralose is 400&ndash;700 times sweeter than sugar and calorie-free, which means a little goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that occurs naturally in berries and birch bark. It has the same sweetness as sugar. Although it has the same flavor and appearance, it contains 40% fewer calories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, just because Zipfizz is sugar-free doesn&rsquo;t mean you can freely imbibe.
