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 Mega 700 Bodyguard

Overall, due to being calorie-off, the flavor is quite light. It has the taste of a medicinal vitamin drink, with a very faint floral scent similar to Lifeguard X. It's extremely faint though.
The flavor doesn't have the strange aroma of Lifeguard X, so it's quite easy to drink, making it a perfect light flavor for when you're thirsty and need a little energy boost on a hot summer day.
It becomes quite fragrant as it warms up, so I recommend drinking it quickly (*´艸｀*)

*I saw a description mentioning a tropical flavor, but I didn't think it tasted like that at all (-_-;)*

Energy Ingredients of Mega 700 Bodyguard

With 700ml, the amount of ingredients is naturally quite high.
The 420mg of arginine is more than in Lifeguard X, which was released after Mega 700 Bodyguard. However, the 105mg of maca is on the lower side.
Other ingredients include 175mg of ginger and 7mg of curcumin, which is such a small amount that I wonder if it will have any effect. Ginger flavor is almost nonexistent, which is a plus for me, as I'm not fond of ginger. If it was strong, I would be able to tell right away.

Although the ingredient list includes caffeine, the exact amount is not specified. There's also no cautionary note about caffeine, so I can only assume it contains very little or none at all. There are many other energy drinks like this. It's a bit of a mystery that the official website doesn't have a detailed product page. The product cycle seems to be quick, but I wish they would provide more detailed information.
