Our take
CleanPlate reviewDoctor VR46 energy drink with caffeine and sugar
Monster The Doctor VR46 High Caffeinated Drink is a 500 ml can with carbonated water, sugar, caffeine, taurine and B vitamins. It is a licensed-name can; the panel is per 100 ml, with 10 g sugar and no sodium line.
CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by sucrose, fruit juices from concentrate and glucose syrup), with additives that cost points: sucralose and guar gum. The 4 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (10 g per 100 ml). The caffeine statement sets a floor of 4 on this axis.
