Moxie Energy Drink's Strange Ingredients
As far as caffeine is concerned, Moxie isn't different from most other energy drinks, in fact, Citrus is rather low in caffeine. But, there are a few ingredients in Moxie that are absent from most other energy drink labels.
Choline: This is similar to B vitamins and occurs naturally in the body. Believed to help with endurance.
Gentian Root Extract: This gives Moxie a unique flavor and possibly has digestive benefits. People with low blood pressure should avoid this herb.
Brominated Vegetable Oil: This is used to keep drink ingredients from seperating, but is banned in Europe and under FDA investigation.
EDTA: (sugar-free version) This is used as a preservative and may help fight fatigue, but according to WebMD it can have a whole host of side-effects. Here's a snippet:
EDTA can cause abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, low blood pressure, skin problems, and fever.
People who experience side effects from drinking Moxie Energy are most likely reacting to one of these ingredients and not the caffeine.
