Monster Energy released their zero sugar option as a way to enter the healthier energy drink market and compete with drinks like Red Bull Zero and Bang Energy Drinks.

Monster Energy's zero sugar option has a total of 140 mgs of caffeine per 16oz can or 8.75 mg's per fluid ounce. This puts Monster in the upper half of caffeine content per full can for energy drinks.

Is Monster Zero Sugar's Caffeine Content Considered High?

At 140 mg of caffeine per can the overall caffeine content would be considered somewhat high but not all that much more than a standard 12oz cup of coffee.

Where Monster Energy drinks out perform coffee in terms energy is from the stimulant stack added on top of the caffeine. Tuarine and Guarana, for example, can exaggerate the effects of caffeine when consumed at the same time.

The FDA's recommended limit for adults is 400mg per day, so while this is considered to be well within the healthy limits, we do not suggest consuming more than one of these daily due to the high stimulant levels and massive amounts of added sugar.

Caffeine can have side effects like nausea and irregular heartbeat if too much is taken at once. Because of this, it's best not to consume more than two cans in a 24-hour period unless you know what you're doing—or else ask your doctor first!

How Long Does Caffeine Stay in Your System?

Caffeine has a half-life of 6 hours, meaning that half of the amount you consumed will be out of your body within 6 hours. The other half will take another 4-6 hours to leave, so that means you'll need to wait 12 hours for complete clearance from your system. But this is just an average; some people may clear it more quickly than others due to individual factors such as age and genetics.
