C4 Carbonated Cherry Limeade Energy Drink
Taste
Cherry Limeade – Cherry Limeade is yet another phenomenal flavor to the C4 carbonated line. The cherry flavor is carried over from the Midnight Cherry drink. The bold cherry flavor and zesty limeade make a perfect complimenting pair. Upon first sip you get the sweetness of the cherry flavor. When the aftertaste kicks in this is where the density of the limeade really shines. With a steady amount of carbonation the flavors match each other perfectly. For Fans of Cherry Blade Lemonade Bang you will truly enjoy the newest addition to the Cellucor C4 Carbonated line.
Formula
The formula carries over vitamin B6 and B12, which is found in both Bang and Hyde Power Potion. There is also a performance energy blend of 6.7g that contains:
Beta-Alanine – Designed to delay the onset of fatigue, resulting in improved power and performance
Citrulline Malate – Supports an increase in nitric oxide levels, pumps, and delays lactic acid build up
Betaine – Maintains your cells’ electrolyte concentration and supports hydration
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine – Supports mental and cognitive health.
Compared to Bang & Hyde, which have COQ10 and BCAA’s, this is a different twist to an energy drink. I personally find these hit just as hard as their competition and provide a minor boost during training.
Cost
C4 Cans Retail $27-28 for a Case of 12 cans. You can find them on sale from time to time around $22.40 for a Case of 12 (20% Off), which is around $1.80/Can. Stop into any convenience store and most people pay around $2.50-$3 a can. With the discount, it is very affordable and comparable to other energy drinks on the market. Given the cost, formula, and taste I would suggest these carbonated energy drinks for an afternoon get me up, replacement to coffee, or a carbonated pre-workout kick.
