animal products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Raze isn&rsquo;t officially Vegan-certified, you might want to take the vegan label it gives itself with a grain of salt; that being said here are the more controversial ingredients below, so you can see for yourself if it&rsquo;s vegan enough for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_The_BCAA_Content_of_Raze_Energy_Vegan\"><\/span>Is The BCAA Content of Raze Energy Vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewthis.com\/difference-between-vegan-non-vegan-bcaa\/\" target=\"_blank\">BCAA Aminos<\/a> is a set of amino acids that are essential for protein production. There are BCAA that is made for vegans while there are also not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the production of BCAA is from the extraction of keratin-rich materials like pigskin and duck feathers,<strong> Raze&rsquo;s BCAA content is most probably plant-based since its manufacturer claims it&rsquo;s vegan. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there&rsquo;s really much difference between vegan BCAA and regular BCAA besides when you get a taste of unflavoured BCAA. Nonetheless, it&rsquo;s a great opportunity for the BCAA market to produce traditional and plant-based BCAA to offer for different markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Betaine_Anhydrous_in_Raze_Energy_Vegan\"><\/span>Is Betaine Anhydrous in Raze Energy Vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-1008\/betaine-anhydrous\" target=\"_blank\">Betaine Anhydrous<\/a> is a natural occurrence in our body where it balances our urine levels&rsquo; chemical called homocysteine. Betaine Anhydrous can also be found in beets, seafood, spinach, and wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they are found in beets, seafood, and wine, Betaine Anhydrous is also synthetically made. So there&rsquo;s a high possibility that the Betaine Anhydrous content in Raze is synthetic, making it alright for vegans to consume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Raze_Energy_Keto-Friendly\"><\/span>Is Raze Energy Keto-Friendly?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Raze Energy is a suitable drink for the keto diet.

But they&rsquo;re vegan-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are still unsure about getting yourself Raze, it&rsquo;s appropriate to do thorough research or try alternative and vegan certified energy drinks, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-celsius-energy-drink-vegan\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2175\">CELSIUS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Raze has a huge amount of caffeine so you should look out for this as well as it may lead to some side effects such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-b6e96cc1-dbfc-42f8-8600-4d011099c29e\"><li>Restlessness and shakiness<\/li><li>Anxiety<\/li><li>Rapid heart rhythm<\/li><li>Dizziness<\/li><li>Headaches<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who are strict in diet are also advised to check in with their doctor about adding anything in your diet for more appropriate and accurate information about your health and lifestyle. <\/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 rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-raze-energy-drink-bad-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\">Is Raze Energy Drink Bad For You?<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/raze-energy-drink-caffeine-and-ingredients\/\" target=\"_blank\">Raze Energy Drink Caffeine and Ingredients<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/raze-energy-drink-caffeine-and-ingredients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raze Energy Drink Nutritional Facts<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veganism is a lifestyle that excludes any use of animal products and any form of exploitation and cruelty among animals.
