Dose audit
| Ingredient | Disclosed dose | Reference dose | Status | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taurine | not enough datano amount printed on the label | 1,000 mg trial dose |
UNDER | Balshaw et al., Amino Acids 2013;44:555-561 (PMID 22855206) — a single 1,000 mg dose in trained male middle-distance runners, randomised double-blind crossover; one of three healthy-adult trials at 1 g in the Waldron et al. Sports Med 2018 meta-analysis (doses 1-6 g) |
| Caffeine | 200 mg | 200 mg position-stand range |
MET | Guest et al., ISSN Position Stand 2021, J Int Soc Sports Nutr 2021;18:1 (PMID 33388079) — 3-6 mg/kg; the threshold is derived from the low end, 3 mg/kg, for a 67 kg adult: 3 x 67 = 201 mg, rounded to 200 mg |
| L-Theanine | not enough datano amount printed on the label | 100 mg trial dose |
UNDER | Owen et al., Nutr Neurosci 2008;11:193-198 (PMID 18681988) — 100 mg L-theanine together with 50 mg caffeine, against 50 mg caffeine alone and placebo, in 27 healthy volunteers |

Recognised by the dose reference but not scored: Sodium (replacement need is individual); Niacinamide (the published dose comes from studies in people with a diagnosed condition, so it is not a threshold for anyone else); Biotin (no established dose outside diagnosed deficiency).
Dose integrity is not part of the energy drink score; this audit is shown for reference.
Coverage: 1 of 1 dosed actives on this label matched the dose reference (blend headers, sub-totals, footnote rows and weighed excipients are not counted).

“No amount” means the record carries no figure for that row: the label prints none (an ingredient-list entry or a blend member), prints it in another form such as a percentage, or only one reading recorded one.
