The formulation includes carbonated water and sugar, providing its effervescence and sweetness. Fruit juices from concentrate—pineapple, mango, and passion fruit—contribute to its tropical taste. Citric acid and sodium lactate act as acidulant and acidity regulator, respectively. Flavourings enhance the overall taste, while caffeine (0.03%) serves as the primary stimulant. Sweeteners such as acesulfame K and sucralose offer additional sweetness without extra calories. Ascorbic acid functions as an antioxidant, acacia gum serves as a stabiliser, and beta carotene provides the drink’s distinctive colour. Niacin (vitamin B3) is included to support energy metabolism. ​
