It has become easy, affordable, and convenient for manufacturers to distribute food and beverages that have a laundry list of ingredients. Most of the ingredients are addicting, hard to pronounce, and difficult to understand what it even is. The health food rule of thumb is to choose food and beverages that have limited ingredients, they are recognizable and easy to pronounce.
When choosing simple food and beverage options, they usually aren’t packed with a large amount of added sugar, no artificial ingredients, caramel coloring, GMOs, or fake flavors. Instead, they tend to come full of vitamins, minerals, natural sugars, and healthy ingredients that are easy to digest.
Fortunately, BeGOAT knows how important ingredients really are. When concocting the wide variety of delicious flavors, they made simple, clean and health-focused the number one priorities. Let’s deep dive into the 7 simple ingredients used to create the healthy and hydrating BeGOAT clean energy drink.

Stevia extract
Stevia is a natural sweetener that is derived from the leaves of a stevia plant. It too is sweeter than conventional sugar and has become a popular option for those looking to lose weight and decrease sugar consumption. The benefit of utilizing this sweetener as an extract is that throughout the processing, it is not blended with other sweeteners or sugar alcohols. The extract remains in its most pure state. Stevia also has many impressive health benefits such as:

Allulose
Allulose is a rare yet trending sweetener that naturally occurs in fruits. It is a low-calorie sugar with the same clean, sweet taste you expect from conventional sugar.

This natural sugar is still new to research, but recent findings have indicated the following health benefits when consuming this ingredient:

Organic sugar
Organic sugar includes any type of sugar in its most natural form. This type of sugar has been extracted, then produced from organically grown sugarcane and sugar beet. Unlike refined sugars, organic sugars are made from sucrose, fructose, and glucose and do not contain chemicals such as sulfur dioxide and phosphoric acid that are found in refined sugars. Organic sugar offers more nutritional value and fiber which enhances overall gut health.
Citric acid
Citric acid is an organic acid found in citric fruits such as grapefruit, tangerine, and orange. Lemon and limes are the richest sources of citric acid. This natural ingredient is most commonly used as a preservative in addition to adding a tangy taste to food and beverages. Citric acid provides many health benefits and functions including:
- Metabolizes energy

- Protect against kidney stones
Natural flavors
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Code of Federal Regulations has identified natural flavors as substances extracted from plant and animal sources.
