UK natural energy drink brand Tenzing has developed a new ‘Super Natural’ energy blend in ‘Fiery Mango’ flavour, designed specifically for the winter season.

The recipe has been crafted with nutritionists, designed to provide an energy boost through winter’s cold and dark months. It contains a blend of functional ingredients aiming to uplift consumers’ wellbeing at a time when vitamin D levels, energy levels, mood and immunity are low.

Initially introduced last month as a limited-time offering, the flavour is now being made permanent with a revamped, functional ‘Winter Edition’ recipe. It is the result of over a year of development, described as the brand’s ‘most powerful’ energy drink yet, containing 160mg of natural caffeine sourced from green coffee.

It also contains 100% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin D, sourced from pine trees, along with 173mg of magnesium from the Irish Sea, which activates the vitamin D. 500mg of lion’s mane is included to provide mood, immune boosting and antioxidant properties, while 16mg of vitamin C adds immune support. The flavour’s fiery kick is provided by 250mg of ginger, and 165mg electrolytes are packed into each can, sourced from Himalayan rock salt.

Huib van Bockel, founder of Tenzing, commented: “While other ‘winter editions’ in the energy drinks space merely focus on winter specific artificial flavourings, we have spent years crafting a drink that provides the functionality to boost the UK through the dark winter months, a time when energy and mood tends to be at its lowest”.

The drink is rolling out in Tesco stores nationwide from 1 November at an RRP of £2.25 per 330ml can, alongside Holland & Barret and WHSmith Travel stores. It will also be available on Tenzing’s webshop, Amazon, and select independent wholesalers including UNNU and Muscle Finesse Wholesale.
