C4 Smart Energy is a Brain-Boosting Beverage

C4, known for its pre-workout supplements and performance drinks for energy and endurance, is now introducing C4 Smart Energy as a "better-for-you mental performance energy drink." The brain-boosting beverage is available in a variety of flavors, including Cotton Candy, Peach Mango Nectar, Electric Sour and Freedom Ice, all of which are free from sugar, calories and carbs.

The beverage is full of naturally derived caffeine from tea to increase energy and alertness, plus other ingredients that have been proven to support mental focus, recall and attention. With its new brain-boosting beverages, C4 is inviting consumers to "unleash their inner Einstein."
