In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of C4 SMART ENERGY PEACH MANGO NECTAR

Opening the can, a sweet peach aroma fills the air. Since this is one of the later releases in the C4 Energy series, it seems that the scent is designed more for general drink consumers rather than a supplement-focused aroma. Let's see how the flavor stacks up once we take a sip.

Upon tasting, a surprisingly sweet and rich peach flavor spreads across the palate, despite it being sugar-free. After drinking, the sweetness lingers, allowing you to thoroughly enjoy the deliciousness of peach flesh, making it a surprisingly well-rounded product.

The lingering peach sweetness is nicely juicy, and with this flavor, it could easily compete with other sugar-free energy drinks from different brands.

The previous C4 ENERGY series had a more artificial, supplement-like flavor, but the Peach Mango Nectar offers none of that powdery supplement taste. Moreover, the peach flavor is of a high quality, and personally, I rate it highly.

Energy Ingredients of C4 SMART ENERGY PEACH MANGO NECTAR

Contains 200mg of caffeine, Cognizin's citicoline, and acetyl-l-tyrosine. These are all ingredients that work effectively on the brain.

Cognizin is a citicoline, branded under Kyowa Hakko Bio's American brand, shown to improve memory and other brain functions. Tyrosine also works similarly on the brain. These are common ingredients in the supplement industry and are utilized as smart ingredients to support brain function. I’ve personally taken supplements with these ingredients as well.

Design of C4 SMART ENERGY PEACH MANGO NECTAR

The C4 SMART ENERGY series features a gradient of colors inspired by the flavor, combined with silver. For this one, the orange gradient reflects the ripeness of peaches and mangoes.

On the back, you'll find the brand names "INNOVATEA" and "COGNIZIN" for the smart ingredients that support brain function, along with a brief description.

The C4 brand is well-known for its bold yellow and black colors, which convey a sense of danger and effectiveness. This color scheme is popular in the supplement scene, and it has been carried over to the energy drink line as well. The impactful C4 ENERGY series is gradually expanding its presence in supermarkets and convenience stores.

On the other hand, the newly launched C4 SMART ENERGY series has shifted to brighter, more colorful designs that appeal not just to hardcore gym-goers but also to students looking for study support or people needing mental focus in their work. This shift in design marks a significant change.

By expanding its target audience to include people focused on a lifestyle beyond exercise, I imagine that the C4 SMART ENERGY flavors will continue to expand in the future.
