Support CG

There is a huge variety in caffeinated products today, and many are only available regionally, making it difficult for me to acquire some. If you are a supplier, or just a reader and you want to help by donating a product for review contact me and I will gladly provide a non-biased review. Thanks for the support!

GURU Natural Energy

Hey CG readers! Check me out on Twitter and MySpace and make me feel loved! :P The Facebook page is coming too soon, and I'm still working on updating the Twitter and MySpace

Guru GURU is “for the active mind and body that needs to perform.” This is the original GURU Energy drink, manufactured by GURU Beverage Co, that spawned multiple varieties and flavors due to its success. GURU Energy, like its kin, is 100% all natural and uses cane juice, as opposed to sucrose or high fructose corn syrup, as a sweetener. While it’s certified organic, it also claims its 91% organic. I never knew they assigned percentages to organic content, but either way GURU Energy is the only 100% natural energy drink out there.

The can it comes in is 12oz can and is recyclable, which parallels the organic and natural aspects of the drink. The design has the same vertical GURU logo as their other drinks and the color scheme reminds me of Van Halen’s Frankenstein Guitar. The can also includes a few certification labels, such as a certified organic logo. GURU Energy contains 97mg of naturally occurring caffeine per serving (about 145mg per can), which is better than most of its competitors, who only have around 10mg of caffeine per oz. Additionally, GURU Energy contains an energy blend of: guarana, panax ginseng, ginkgo biloba, Echinacea flower, and even a little salt for some electrolytes.

GURU Original has a fantastic aroma due to the white grape juice in it and it smells a lot like Mountain Dew Revolution (RIP my friend). It has a white grape taste to it with a hint of lemon, which complements the sparkling water (as opposed to the carbonated water other drinks use). It also tastes remarkably similar to MD Revolution, for those of you that were crushed by the fact that MD Revolution lost to Voltage. The sparkling water is a great idea, as it helps this drink stand out by making it more of an energized juice than a basic energy drink. The low carbonation also allows GURU to go down smooth and won’t upset your stomach if you drink it too fast. Overall, GURU Energy is a fantastic drink due to it’s flavor, organic traits, and low carbonation.

It’s the season for giving and GURU Beverages has been kind enough to offer Caffeine Guru readers 10% all online purchases at GURU Energy through the online coupon: Caffeine_GURU10% . Additionally, you can give a friend a free 12-pack of GURU when you buy something for yourself! More details here.
