Healthy Energy Drinks: Healthy Scam or Healthy Energy?
The debate rages on concerning the Health of Energy Drinks.
This has opened the door for the marketing of Healthy Energy Drinks which are supposed to have no negative effects or actually improve the health of the consumer.
However, in this market segment scams abound and the Healthy Energy Drink Market has turned into a multi-level marketing (pyramid scheme) mecca.
These marketers then come to the comment boards here at energy fiend and try to peddle their business with statements such as “The First Healthy Energy Drink” or “Healthy, All Natural Energy” along with many other descriptions of how some new drink has changed their life. You know the drill if you’ve ever stayed up late and have been forced to watch infomercials. So here’s a list of some those so called healthy energy drinks
Multi-level Marketing Healthy Energy Drinks
These drinks are usually crammed with exotic juices or herbs and guarantees, but some can be quite expensive and the only way to get these miracle potions cheaper is to sign up as an independent distributor of these “healthy energy drinks”. Be careful, their sales tactics are quite powerful and MLMs have lured the best of us in at times. If it’s too good to be true, it is!
Mainstream Healthy or “Natural” Energy Drinks
- Guru
- FRS- uses affiliate type marketing, but not MLM.
- Steaz
- Adina
- Amazon Energy
- Naked Juice Energy Smoothie
At energy fiend we would be the first to admit that most energy drinks aren’t healthy per say, but we support the notion of moderation. I think the majority of energy drink fans aren’t drinking them for the health aspect anyway. If you want to learn more about energy drink ingredients or energy drink ingredient side affects, well, we have that covered too.
The important thing is education on drinking energy drinks responsibly as well as being able to recognize a healthy energy drink scam when you see it. The only people that are getting rich selling healthy energy drinks are those at the very top of the pyramid I’m afraid.

EWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Love how Lance Armstrong’s FRS ad is on the bottom of the page.
Yeah, but that ad is from google not us…
WOW!… Who comes up with this crap?
This article should be entitled Business Scams.. Not
I don’t really care if it’s actually healthy but I love Guru. The nice thing about healthy energy drinks is that they usually have really unique, well-developed flavor. The herbs they use also give some of the drinks interesting effects and a more smooth kick.
