Each 100g provides 0.076mg of copper (8% DV). Copper is a cofactor for superoxide dismutase, an antioxidant enzyme that neutralizes free radicals. Regular intake helps maintain iron transport and connective tissue formation, but you'd need about 12 servings to meet the full daily requirement, so it's a minor contribution.
At 11.1g sugar per 100g (22% DV), this drink delivers a rapid glucose load. Without fiber or fat to slow absorption (only 1.2g fiber and 0.8g fat), your blood sugar rises quickly, triggering insulin release. Over time, this can increase insulin resistance, especially if consumed alone or in large volumes.
At 260 kcal per 100g, a typical 250ml serving (about 250g) provides 650 kcal. That's roughly one-third of a 2000-calorie diet. If you drink this daily without reducing other food, you'll gain about 0.5–1kg per month. The 12.8g carbs are mostly sugar, offering little satiety.
Potassium (130mg, 3% DV) and magnesium (11mg, 3% DV) are present but low. Daily intake contributes to electrolyte balance, but the high sugar-to-mineral ratio may increase urinary calcium loss, potentially offsetting the 19mg calcium provided. This is more relevant if you're already low in calcium.
Verdict
Drinking this daily is fine if you treat it as a treat, not a health drink—its sugar load outweighs its minor nutrient benefits. Limit to occasional use or dilute with water to reduce sugar per serving.
