What is Bang Energy’s Caffeine Content?

300mg per 16oz can, which is quite high.

The FDA's recommended limit for adults is 400mg per day, so if you're an adult who wants to get the most out of your Bang energy drink without getting too much caffeine, it's best to space out how many cans you drink throughout the day and keep them under 200mg each.

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 much caffeine in Bang, compared to other drinks?

When you're looking to get a boost of energy, you don't have to choose between coffee and energy drinks. These days, there's no shortage of options on the market.

In comparison, Red Bull has 80mg in an 8oz can and Monster has 160mg per 16oz can. 5-Hour Energy contains a whopping 200 mg in its tiny bottle!

Is there any sugar in Bang energy drinks?

The good news is the company markets the product as “zero calorie,” which means that it contains no carbohydrates, fats, or sugar. They use sucralose.

This can be helpful for anyone who needs to lower their intake of empty calories while still maintaining something like an "average" diet. On the plus side, sucralose doesn’t have the aftertaste of most artificial sweeteners.

What is the “Super Creatine” that's mentioned in the nutrition facts?

You might notice a bit of a buzz around creatine. It's been featured in popular magazines, but it's still not quite clear what all the hype is about.

What is creatine?

Creatine is an amino acid that you naturally produce in your body from eating protein. It helps to supply energy to your muscles when they're working hard or heavily taxed.

What is the Vitamin B12 in Bang energy drinks used for?

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that your body needs to help make red blood cells and DNA. It also helps protect nerve tissue, and it works with folate (another B vitamin) to help prevent anemia. Vitamin B12 can be found in animal foods such as fish, meat, and poultry; dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt; eggs; fortified breakfast cereals; fortified soy products; fruit juices with added calcium or vitamin D; or nutritional yeast.

How Long Does Caffeine Stay in Your System?

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.
