We are A_SHOC. We launched as Adrenaline Shoc in 2020, but customers quickly started calling us A_SHOC, so we will be dropping the word Adrenaline from the brand name and transition to A_SHOC during 2021.

A_SHOC presents a very clean drink with our natural energy blend and exceptional flavors delivering a dynamic taste. We use nearly all-natural ingredients (sucralose sweetener is the key exception) that you can feel good about when you drink A_SHOC and A_SHOC Accelerator.

Our natural energy blend includes yerba mate, green coffee beans, coffee fruit extract, and guarana that produces 300mg of natural plant-based caffeine in our A_SHOC formula and 200mg of natural plant-based caffeine in our A_SHOC Accelerator formula.
