Using lots of Vitamin B6 and B12 the drink is able to provide the same energy boost as a normal caffeine and sugar based drink, but is a much healthier alternative.

The brand will be priced in the medium to higher end price bracket in order to compete with premium brands and to avoid being associated with the low quality alternatives that compete solely on price.
