What to know about Immunocal Booster Energy Performance
Immunocal Booster Energy Performance is the full-name version of the energy formula, built for the part of the day when concentration and stamina both start to go.
The Nrf2 catalyst is the distinguishing component, aimed at the pathway the body uses to switch on its own antioxidant defenses and at supporting glutathione levels alongside it.
Around it sit natural caffeine sources, guarana, green tea and green coffee extract, plus selenium and vitamins C and B12, which contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The caffeine is deliberately drawn from plant sources associated with a slower release than a straight synthetic dose.
To understand the pathway this formula targets, read how the Nrf2 pathway switches on your antioxidant defenses.

What is in Booster Energy Performance
Immunocal Booster Energy Performance is the orange-flavored energy version of the Booster line. According to the Supplement Facts panel, each 5.2 g stick provides:
| Per serving | Amount |
|---|---|
| Serving size | 1 stick pack (5.2 g) |
| Servings per box | 30 |
| Calories | 15 |
| Total carbohydrate | 3 g |
| Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) | 60 mg (67% DV) |
| Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) | 12 mcg (500% DV) |
| Selenium (as selenomethionine) | 25 mcg (45% DV) |
| Broccoli seed concentrate (5% sulforaphane glucosinolate) | 125 mg |
| Natural caffeine from green tea leaf extract | 70 mg |
| Natural caffeine from green coffee bean extract | 70 mg |
| Caffeine from guarana seed extract | 10 mg |
| Total caffeine | 150 mg |
Other ingredients: maltodextrin, citric acid, natural flavors, rice hull concentrate, rebaudioside A (a stevia sweetener) and beta-carotene for color.
The 150 mg of caffeine comes from three plant sources: green tea, green coffee bean and guarana. That is roughly the amount in one and a half standard cups of brewed coffee. Broccoli seed concentrate provides sulforaphane glucosinolate, the compound linked with the Nrf2 pathway, and vitamins C and B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Who Booster Energy Performance suits
- Adults who want a morning or pre-workout drink with natural caffeine instead of a sugary energy drink
- Immunocal users who want an energy option that pairs with their daily pouch
- People who like a bright orange flavor and a light, 15-calorie drink
- Anyone who wants to replace a mid-afternoon coffee with a measured caffeine dose
Who should choose something else or check first
- Anyone sensitive to caffeine, or who already drinks several cups of coffee a day, since one stick provides 150 mg of caffeine
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and anyone under 18
- Anyone with a heart condition, high blood pressure or anxiety, or who takes stimulant medication, should talk with a healthcare provider first
- Anyone looking for something to take in the evening
How to use Booster Energy Performance
Because of the caffeine, timing matters more than with other products in the range.
- Mix one stick into 8 to 12 ounces of cold water.
- Take it in the morning, or about 30 minutes before exercise.
- Avoid it in the late afternoon and evening if caffeine affects your sleep.
- Count it toward your total daily caffeine, including coffee, tea and soda. Many health authorities suggest most healthy adults stay under 400 mg a day.
How Booster Energy Performance compares
Compared with a typical canned energy drink, Booster Energy Performance has no added sugar and lists exactly where its caffeine comes from. Compared with coffee, it adds vitamins C and B12, selenium and broccoli seed concentrate. Compared with the original Immunocal Booster, it trades the reds and greens blend for caffeine. The Booster Performance Hibiscus has the same active ingredients in a tart hibiscus flavor and a 14-stick box. To learn about the pathway behind the formula, read the science behind Nrf2.
Common questions about Immunocal Booster Energy Performance
What is in an energy performance booster?
This one combines an Nrf2 catalyst, aimed at the body’s own antioxidant defenses, with natural caffeine from guarana, green tea and green coffee extract. Selenium and vitamins C and B12 complete it, with C and B12 contributing to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Is caffeine from guarana different from coffee?
The caffeine molecule is the same, but plant sources like guarana carry it alongside other compounds that are commonly associated with a slower, steadier release than a straight synthetic dose. That is why they are used for energy without a sharp spike.
When is the best time to take Immunocal Booster Energy Performance?
Morning or early afternoon. It contains caffeine, so taking it late in the day is rarely a good idea, and consistent timing tells you more than occasional use.
How is it different from the hibiscus version?
The approach is the same. The hibiscus version is the flavored option in the line, so choose on taste.
How much caffeine is in Booster Energy Performance?
Each stick contains 150 mg of caffeine: 70 mg from green tea leaf extract, 70 mg from green coffee bean extract and 10 mg from guarana seed extract.
Does Booster Energy Performance contain sugar?
It has 3 g of carbohydrate and 15 calories per stick and is sweetened with rebaudioside A, a stevia-derived sweetener.
Can I take it with Immunocal Sport?
Yes. Many athletes take the Booster before training for energy and Immunocal Sport for glutathione support. Count the 150 mg of caffeine toward your daily total.
