— October 25, 2023 — Marketing
C4 Performance Energy® boasts "the world’s #1 performance energy drink," powered by 200 mg of caffeine, clinically studied CarnoSyn Beta-Alanine and superfood extract BetaPower Betaine. The formula, which is ideal for athletes and those leading an active lifestyle delivers bursts of energy, increases cellular hydration, and improves muscle endurance.

C4 Performance Energy® recently announced two unconventional flavor collaborations. Its performance energy drink now comes in SKITTLES™ Original flavor and STARBURST™ flavors Strawberry, Cherry, Orange, and Lemon. These flavors also add a sense of nostalgia to the offerings. The releases still pack C4's performance promise. Additionally, the recipes boast zero sugar and artificial ingredients. While unconventional, this product range definitely aims to enable guilt-free indulgence.
