Anthocyanin
Anthocyanin as a Dye
Anthocyanin is a type of polyphenol, a natural blue-purple pigment widely found in flowers and fruits. It is used as a natural food coloring due to its higher safety compared to synthetic dyes. It is also used as a coloring agent in energy drinks.
Other polyphenols include catechins, cacao polyphenols, rutin, and curcumin.
Effects of Anthocyanin
Although it was once used primarily as a coloring agent, recent interest in anthocyanin has grown due to its potential antioxidant properties, cancer prevention benefits, and positive effects on eye health. However, in energy drinks, it is primarily used as a natural coloring agent, and no claims are made about its antioxidant effects.
Energy Drinks Featuring Anthocyanin as a Notable Ingredient
While there is no significant experience reported with the anthocyanin in energy drinks, there are several products in Japan that have added it with the idea of supporting eye health.
DAEMON(デーモン) Energy Drink
A vending machine-exclusive energy drink from ASEED. It contains high caffeine and is said to feature bilberry as a support for eye health. The exact dosage is unknown, and it is unlikely to alleviate eye fatigue.

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.
Since 2001, Energy Drink Maniac has been drinking energy drinks and providing the most detailed reviews of global energy drinks based on firsthand research.
