Energy drinks

An energy drink gives you an instant lift, with no prep and no shaker. This collection brings together ready-to-drink formats built for training and an active lifestyle: guarana shots, pre workout drinks, L-Carnitine drinks and endurance drinks for the effort itself.

One thing trips a lot of people up, so it is worth being clear:

• Stimulant energy drink: built around caffeine or guarana, it stimulates the nervous system and alertness (Guarana Kick, Guarana Extreme Voltage, Elite N.0.+, Kick Pre Workout).
• Energy drink for the effort: it delivers carbohydrates and nutrients to support the body while you train (Carbo Load).

At QNT you find both families in one place, plus our L-Carnitine drinks (2000, 3000, 6000, L-Carnitine Water). The idea is simple: a practical, pre-dosed, functional option whether you are at the gym, on the road or at your desk. All our drinks are formulated by a Belgian brand, with manufacturing that is made in Belgium.

Guarana is an Amazonian plant whose seeds are among the richest sources of caffeine in the world (four to five times more than a coffee bean). It is our most-requested category, and for good reason: caffeine helps increase alertness and concentration, and helps reduce the feeling of fatigue before and during training. This is the heart of guarana benefits for anyone reaching for a guarana energy drink.

Two formats, depending on what you need:

• Guarana Kick 2000 mg: an 80 ml shot, easy to drop in your bag for a quick boost before a session.
• Guarana Extreme Voltage: 25 ml of ultra-concentrated guarana, the shortest and most intense format when you want to hit hard.

A lot of people ask how to use guarana powder and how much to take per day. Our ready-to-drink shots answer that for you: the guarana dose is already measured and calibrated per serving (made from guarana seed extract), so there is no powder to weigh and no guessing the amount. One benefit often cited for guarana versus plain caffeine: a more gradual release, which helps soften the spike-then-crash pattern. Keep in mind that caffeine is still a stimulant, so respect the dose and avoid it late in the day to protect your sleep.

Before a big session, a ready-to-drink pre workout puts you in the right zone: more focus, more drive, less perceived fatigue. No powder to scoop, you just open it and drink.

In this collection:

• Kick Pre Workout (250 ml): a complete stimulant caffeine drink to launch the workout, a true pre workout energy drink.
• Elite N.0.+ Pre Workout (80 ml): a concentrated shot made for intense sessions, when you want a strong signal right before you start.

When should you take it? About 20 to 30 minutes before your session, giving the caffeine time to kick in. Ideal for morning workouts, low-energy days or heavy sessions (legs, full body, WOD). If you are sensitive to caffeine, start with a single format and judge your tolerance before stacking anything. And like any caffeinated product, avoid taking it late in the evening.

L-Carnitine is an amino acid your body uses in energy metabolism: it helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are turned into energy. That is why it is popular with athletes who want support during training, especially cardio and endurance work.

We offer the widest range of ready-to-drink L-Carnitine drinks:

• L-Carnitine 2000 mg (700 ml) and L-Carnitine 3000 mg (80 ml shot): dose them to match how hard your session is.
• L-Carnitine Liquid 6000 (500 ml): the highest concentration in the range.
• L-Carnitine Water (500 ml): a light, refreshing water that combines L-Carnitine, zinc and vitamins.

How to use it: drink your L-Carnitine before or during cardio activity, alongside a balanced diet and regular training. L-Carnitine supports your effort, it does not replace either one.

For long efforts, the number one fuel is still the carbohydrate. This is where an energy drink for the effort earns its place: it delivers readily usable energy to support the body when the session drags on.

• Carbo Load (700 ml): a carbohydrate-rich drink built for endurance training, long outings and competition, for when you need to go the distance without hitting the wall.

Who is it for? Runners, cyclists, endurance athletes and anyone stringing together long or intense sessions. It is the option to reach for when your goal is energy that lasts, rather than a quick caffeine hit. You can drink it before to top up your reserves, or during the effort to keep them topped up. For something even lighter between uses, L-Carnitine Water brings hydration and nutrients without the carbohydrate load.

Not every drink here is reserved for the gym. Some also fit your active routine day to day, when you want a practical format and a bit of energy without reaching for coffee.

• Energy Collagen Matcha (250 ml): a matcha drink, a natural source of caffeine for a smoother, more gradual boost, paired with collagen. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in skin, joints and tendons, and its natural production declines with age.
• Thermo Booster (700 ml): a refreshing drink to fit into a sports routine, as part of a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

These formats are perfect for a break at the office, a commute or a small afternoon pick-me-up. The beauty of ready-to-drink: you keep control over the dose and you can take your drink anywhere, no kit required.

The right choice depends on your goal and the moment:

• Quick kick / focus: a guarana shot (Guarana Kick, Guarana Extreme Voltage) or a pre workout (Kick, Elite N.0.+).
• Support for cardio: an L-Carnitine drink (2000, 3000, 6000 or L-Carnitine Water).
• Endurance and long efforts: Carbo Load for carbohydrate energy.
• A gentler everyday option: Energy Collagen Matcha or Thermo Booster.

A few format pointers: shots (25 to 80 ml) are portable and concentrated, while bottles (250 to 700 ml) are made to sip over time. Also factor in your caffeine sensitivity: a single caffeinated product at a time is plenty to start with.

In practice, plenty of athletes combine a caffeinated drink before the session with an L-Carnitine or Carbo Load drink during the effort. Test what suits your training.

Caffeine works, but it deserves respect. Authorities recommend not exceeding 400 mg of caffeine per day for a healthy adult (around 200 mg in a single dose). Count all your sources: coffee, tea, guarana and pre workouts all add up.

A few simple rules:

• Start low if you are new to it or sensitive to caffeine, then adjust.
• Avoid caffeinated products late in the day to protect your sleep.
• Do not combine several stimulant drinks at the same time.

Who these drinks are not for: products containing guarana or caffeine are not recommended for children, or for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for people sensitive to caffeine. So no, guarana is not suitable for kids, and it is best avoided while breastfeeding. If you have any doubt or are on medication, ask a healthcare professional before using them. Always read the label and respect the doses stated on each product.
