It&rsquo;s definitely a good option if you&rsquo;re health-conscious.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re watching out for your calories to achieve your dream body, I think C4 Energy would make a great energy drink for you as it contains <strong>zero calories.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/245588\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/245588\" target=\"_blank\">experts<\/a> say that the average healthy adult should have around <strong>2,000 &ndash; 2,500 calories a day.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although other factors like age, gender, and overall diet will influence your daily calorific intake, it&rsquo;s still best to <strong>follow the recommended guideline<\/strong> to maintain a healthy weight and avoid health problems in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering that some energy drinks can contain up to <strong>200 calories<\/strong>, a can of C4 Energy won&rsquo;t take up your daily calorie intake at all. Thus, you&rsquo;ll have more room for other foods and drinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While its calorie-free nature is indeed a bonus, this also means that the energy supply from C4 Energy comes from its caffeine content.

However, if I were you, I would go for tea instead of a second can of this drink as it contains lower amounts of caffeine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Caffeine_Addicting\"><\/span>Is Caffeine Addicting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>According to the scientific definition of &ldquo;addiction&rdquo;, caffeine isn&rsquo;t exactly addicting.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drugabuse.gov\/publications\/media-guide\/science-drug-use-addiction-basics\">Addiction<\/a>&nbsp;is defined as a chronic, relapsing behavior characterized by compulsive substance seeking despite the effects.

It can potentially disrupt your sleep patterns and make you feel depressed and restless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But of course, if you have a high caffeine metabolism, it&rsquo;s unlikely you&rsquo;ll have bad experiences with just one can of C4 Energy.

Thus, only a few amounts of sucralose are needed to balance the sweetness provided by regular sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on my <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.who.int\/food-additives-contaminants-jecfa-database\/chemical.aspx?chemID=2340\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/apps.who.int\/food-additives-contaminants-jecfa-database\/chemical.aspx?chemID=2340\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research<\/a>, sucralose is being used in&nbsp;over 100 countries&nbsp;globally, despite some <strong>health&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3198517\/\">risks<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>claimed by scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Acesulfame_Potassium\"><\/span>What is Acesulfame Potassium?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Acesulfame Potassium, better known as Ace-K or Acesulfame K, is also a calorie-free sweetener added to most sugar-free products. Ace-K alone is a crystal powder that provides a bitter after-taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this ingredient can be&nbsp;<strong>200 times sweeter<\/strong>&nbsp;than regular table sugar when mixed with other sweeteners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nausea, fatigue, and headaches<\/strong> are some of the most common side <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/artificial_sweeteners\/article.htm\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/artificial_sweeteners\/article.htm\" target=\"_blank\">effects<\/a> when consuming too much Ace-K. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, the safest way to consume these sweeteners is to keep your consumption to a minimum. That said, it&rsquo;s still best to drink C4 Energy moderately and not go over a <strong>maximum of two cans a day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Cans_Of_C4_Energy_Drink_Can_You_Have_In_A_Day\"><\/span>How Many Cans Of C4 Energy Drink Can You Have In A Day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In my opinion, you can have a maximum of two cans of C4 Energy drink a day. Regularly going over FDA&rsquo;s daily caffeine limit can be damaging for your health in the long run. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although C4 Energy is both sugar and calorie-free, it contains quite a high amount of caffeine, <strong>200mg per 16 fl.oz can. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of whether or not that amount is okay for you, excessively consuming caffeine can bring about<strong>&nbsp;health risks.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, caffeine, similar to sugar, can also cause you to <strong>crash.<\/strong> If you lack sleep and are relying on caffeine, you&rsquo;re actually bound to experience a&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/caffeine-crash\">caffeine crash<\/a>. So instead of an energy boost, you&rsquo;ll get headaches, excessive tiredness, and irritability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I wouldn&rsquo;t want to risk it so, it&rsquo;s best to be mindful.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, energy drinks contain as low as 50mg to 300mg of caffeine in a single serving. I think it&rsquo;s reasonable to consider C4 Energy&rsquo;s 200mg caffeine as a high amount of caffeine to have regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>I stick to energy drinks with around 50mg to 100mg of caffeine only because my body can&rsquo;t have any amount higher than that.

It only has a modest amount of 120mg caffeine in a 12 fl.oz can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But of course, if you&rsquo;re someone with a high tolerance for caffeine, you&rsquo;ll definitely benefit from the caffeine content in the C4 Energy drink. <strong>Just be sure not to have more than two cans a day!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Exercise.jpeg\" alt=\"Four people playing outdoor activity on a green field\" class=\"wp-image-8218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Exercise.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Exercise-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Exercise-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Exercise.jpeg.webp\" alt=\"Four people playing outdoor activity on a green field\" class=\"wp-image-8218 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Exercise.jpeg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Exercise-300x200.jpeg.webp 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Exercise-768x512.jpeg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Exercise.jpeg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Have a C4 Energy before your next exercise session<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_C4_Energy_Drink_Harmful\"><\/span>Is C4 Energy Drink Harmful?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I believe that C4 Energy isn&rsquo;t harmful as long as you stick to the FDA&rsquo;s daily caffeine limit of 400mg and keep yourself healthy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you don&rsquo;t have to worry about any extra sugar or calories in your diet, you still need to be cautious of its relatively <strong>high caffeine content. <\/strong>Thus, having more than two cans a day can definitely affect your health and even performance throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also important to keep in mind that C4 Energy contains artificial sweeteners. While they may seem like a healthier substitute to regular sugar, there&rsquo;s still plenty we have yet to discover about them, including their long-term <a href=\"https:\/\/edelweisspublications.com\/edelweiss\/article\/Do-Artificial-Sweeteners-Cause-Side-Effects-NMCT-15-101.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/edelweisspublications.com\/edelweiss\/article\/Do-Artificial-Sweeteners-Cause-Side-Effects-NMCT-15-101.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">effects<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, I would only recommend you to keep your daily consumption of C4 Energy to a&nbsp;<strong>maximum of two cans.&nbsp;<\/strong>If you&rsquo;re sensitive to caffeine, under the age of 18 years old, pregnant, and or nursing, it&rsquo;s best to avoid this energy drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re interested to learn more about C4 Energy drink, check out the review below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The TRUTH About C4 Pre Workout, C4 Review, All C4's Ranked!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8HlW6TuXO3M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_C4_Energy_Banned\"><\/span>Why Is C4 Energy Banned?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>C4 Energy brand has a product called C4 Extreme, a pre-workout powder, which contains an ingredient called Synephrine.
