Energy Drink<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see in the table above, not all the ingredients of Reign Energy Drink are certainly safe for vegans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few ingredients like sucralose of Reign Energy Drink may not contain animal products, but it might be used in animal testing which, if you&rsquo;re a strict vegan, makes Reign Energy Drink not an option for your desired choice of energy drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although  ingredients like l-arginine can be made synthetically, Reign has not mentioned where they source this supplement from, not on the product, and not even on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be better if you opt for other energy drinks that are considered vegan officially, I&rsquo;ll explain those vegan energy drinks as you read the next heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Artificial_Sweeteners_Vegan\"><\/span>Are Artificial Sweeteners Vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Artificial sweeteners are commonly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.encyclopedia.com\/science-and-technology\/chemistry\/organic-chemistry\/artificial-sweetener\">manufactured <\/a>in a lab using chemical synthesis. They come from a type of natural compound called polyols (sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, and hydrogenated starch hydrolysates) which are extracted from plants or produced commercially<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2007, The FDA has approved 5 non-nutritive sugar substitutes in the United States: saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame potassium (or acesulfame-K), sucralose, and neotame. If you find these ingredients at the back of a can of energy drink,  then you&rsquo;ll know its been sweetened with sugar substitutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While artificial sweetners are more or less synthetic, It&rsquo;s important to note that <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iamgoingvegan.com\/is-sucralose-vegan\/\" target=\"_blank\">sucralose <\/a>is still made from <strong>sugar <\/strong>(with all the nasty bits taken out). However, sugar itself may not be vegan since some companies use bone char in their filtration process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So your sucralose may still contain traces of animal bone even after going through several rounds of chemical treatment, which means it&rsquo;s no longer vegan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sucralose also has a dark history of <a href=\"https:\/\/veganbits.com\/is-splenda-vegan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">animal testing<\/a> that not even vegans know about. Vegans may look the other way, but ethical vegans tend to avoid sucralose like the plague. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say if you&rsquo;re truly looking for an OG vegan sugar substitute, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/food-recipes\/what-is-stevia\" target=\"_blank\">stevia <\/a>is the way to go because it is extracted from the stevia plant.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_BCAAs_Vegan\"><\/span>Are BCAAs Vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewthis.com\/difference-between-vegan-non-vegan-bcaa\/\" target=\"_blank\">BCAAs <\/a>are vegan, some are not. That&rsquo;s just the hard truth. The fact that a lot of brands don&rsquo;t state where their ingredients are sourced means that it&rsquo;s obvious that food and beverage companies are not required by law to do so.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BCAAs aid in muscle growth and recovery, reduce muscle soreness after working out, and also provide energy during strenuoys physical activity, which is why Reign is so popular among gym rats and fitness enthusiasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artificial BCAAs are <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vivolife.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/is-your-bcaa-made-from-human-hair\" target=\"_blank\">sourced <\/a>from both animal and non-animal sources. Animal sources include animal bones, hooves, hair and feathers, and yes even human hair. Vegan BCAAs are now being sourced from fermented sunflower seeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think that because vegan substitutes exist that the animal-based version would no longer be used. But as with all vegan based food products and ingredients, its expensive to manufacture vegan BCAAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if an energy drink contains BCAAs and its relatively cheap, you can bet that the BCCAs are sourced from animal parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Vegan_Energy_Drinks\"><\/span>Other Vegan Energy Drinks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Even though Reign  Energy Drink might not be for you, there are some energy drinks in the market that are considered vegan-friendly which are confirmed to be safe for vegans, some examples of energy drinks that are fine for vegans are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>G.O.A.T Fuel<\/li><li>Mati Energy<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-celsius-energy-drink-vegan\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2175\">Celsius<\/a><\/li><li>Ali Nu<\/li><li>Boost <\/li><li>Emerge<\/li><li>Lucozade<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the brands stated above are certified by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.veganfriendly.org.uk\/is-it-vegan\/energy-drinks\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.veganfriendly.org.uk\/is-it-vegan\/energy-drinks\/\" target=\"_blank\">veganfriendly.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp_Image_2020-06-20_at_11.31.43_1250x-5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp_Image_2020-06-20_at_11.31.43_1250x-5.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp_Image_2020-06-20_at_11.31.43_1250x-5-300x146.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp_Image_2020-06-20_at_11.31.43_1250x-5-768x373.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp_Image_2020-06-20_at_11.31.43_1250x-5.jpeg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9265 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp_Image_2020-06-20_at_11.31.43_1250x-5.jpeg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp_Image_2020-06-20_at_11.31.43_1250x-5-300x146.jpeg.webp 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp_Image_2020-06-20_at_11.31.43_1250x-5-768x373.jpeg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp_Image_2020-06-20_at_11.31.43_1250x-5.jpeg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>A Myriad of Reign Energy Drinks <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reign_Energy_Drink_Flavors\"><\/span>Reign Energy Drink Flavors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In terms of choosing flavors, Reign has a lot of options.
