Finding the right flavor for Mixed Berry Moodivate™ was a challenge. We wanted to create a great-tasting energy drink using healthy, natural ingredients without compromising on flavor. After eight months and nearly 20 flavor iterations, we perfected our formula with help from friends, family, and product testers.
Early on, we experimented with monk fruit, honey, and other natural sweeteners, but the feedback was clear—these options didn’t deliver the best taste. We tested cane sugar and other alternatives, but the best-tasting and most effective choice was sucralose.
The natural cranberry, raspberry, and blueberry flavors in Moodivate™ are carefully blended and sweetened with sucralose, the only sugar-derived non-caloric sweetener. Before its approval in 1998, the U.S. FDA reviewed 110 studies confirming its safety. Today, sucralose is approved in the UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union, making it a trusted ingredient in many low-calorie energy drinks.
Sucralose is made by modifying sugar molecules, replacing three hydrogen-oxygen groups with three chlorine atoms—a component naturally found in table salt (NaCl), drinking water, and many fruits and vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, and melons. This process creates sucralose, which is 400-600 times sweeter than sugar, zero-calorie, and passes through the body without being digested.
Despite rigorous studies confirming its safety, some myths about artificial sweeteners continue to circulate. However, deeper research often reveals that these claims come from companies promoting their own sweetener alternatives. Scientific studies from the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) demonstrate support for sucralose’s safety, including its impact on gut health and insulin response.
We created Moodivate™ to be the perfect low-calorie energy drink—a refreshing, sugar-free boost that tastes great.
We hope you enjoy every sip as much as we do!
