Qallo® is a Belgium based performance nutrition brand focusing on the digital world. The company’s target audience consists out of gamers, entrepreneurs, digital workers, poker players, traders, digital artists, … After its supplements (QFocus, QSleep, QFlex) launch a year ago, Qallo® now announces its newest member in the product line-up: QEnergy. A sugar-free energy drink powered by natural ingredients to energize, hydrate, and improve your concentration. The drink is available in three natural flavors.

Almost exactly a year after founding the company, Qallo® launches its revolutionary energy drink, QEnergy. The company aims to conquer the energy drink market focused on the digital world. Qallo® makes a bold move with QEnergy, launching a direct competitor to companies such as GFuel, LevlUp, Ghost Gaming, Red Bull, Monster Energy, etc.

“By spending time with our community, we noticed that unhealthy, high-in-sugar energy drinks still played a big part in a lot of people’s daily routine. Drinks that weren’t designed to consume when sitting still in front of a screen. The ask was clear: a healthy energy boost, optimized for working, gaming, creating, trading, thriving in the digital world. Our answer is QEnergy. A sugar-free energy drink powered by natural ingredients to energize, hydrate, and improve your concentration.” – Alexander Van Laer, CEO & co-founder Qallo®

Qallo’s® QEnergy contains no sugar, no preservatives, no artificial colors, and is 100% vegan. The product is available in three natural flavors: Mango Pineapple, Red Berries, and Lemon Lime Ginger. QEnergy is an energy drink packed with B-vitamins, essential minerals, and topped off with nootropics and adaptogens for more focus.

UNIQUE TASTE AND PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

Qallo’s® QEnergy is characterized by its unique taste and product experience. The company worked for almost a year side by side with its core-community members, consisting of gamers, entrepreneurs, poker players, digital artists, etc. “We are thrilled with the end-results of this community-driven feedback cycles. We can proudly say that we are the first healthy energy drink that absolutely does not taste like the typical energy drink. QEnergy is a game-changer”, says Van Laer.

“The first time I tasted QEnergy, I was amazed with the taste experience. I’m used to consuming energy drinks every now and then, and I can genuinely say QEnergy is another league. In fact, I must often remind myself that I’m drinking an energy drink and not some kind of a fresh fruit juice. – Joep ‘Gerlaenco’ Gerla, professional streamer

BALANCED MIXED OF ENERGY, FOCUS AND HYDRATION

“The QEnergy formula balances three key elements: energy, focus and hydration”, Van Laer continues. “The vast majority of existing energy drinks are based on very high quantities of caffeine, taurine, and sugar. These products often cause nervosity, jitters, and anxiety. Further, they leave you dehydrated. This is where Qallo’s® QEnergy makes the true difference.” Qallo decreased the amounts of caffeine and taurine and replaced them with a state-of-the-art ingredient called Zynamite®.

“Zynamite® is a standardized mango extract that has shown caffeine replacement and amplifying effects in scientific research. It has become a key natural component of QEnergy.” – Alexander Van Laer, CEO & co-founder Qallo®

Qallo® added multiple, thoroughly researched natural ingredients like L-theanine from green tea, Ashwagandha and Ginkgo Biloba to help relieve stress and increase cognitive performance. A great extra for mental peak performance. Further, the company added natural essential minerals like Potassium, Magnesium and Sodium (from sea salt) to support a good fluid balance in the body. QEnergy should be mixed with 400ml of water to make sure you also consume a nice amount of water while drinking the product.
