Modere Acai Drink New Zealand: 11-superfruit natural energy — 97% real fruit juice, no synthetic caffeine.
⚡ 60-Second Verdict
While Red Bull has zero fruit juice and Monster packs in 54g of added sugar per can, the Modere Acai Drink goes a different way entirely. 97% real fruit juice. 11 superfruits including Amazon acai, pomegranate, blueberry and kiwi. Natural caffeine from green tea and guarana. Vitamin B1 for actual energy metabolism. One 90mL shot daily — no crash, no carbonation, no artificial colours. Clean energy for Kiwis who are done with the conventional stuff.
The energy drink problem — why Kiwis are looking for something better
New Zealand drinks a substantial volume of energy drinks every year. The market is dominated by Red Bull, Monster, V Energy and Lift Plus — products built around synthetic caffeine, artificial colours, and sugar levels that match or exceed a can of Coke. A standard 250mL Red Bull contains 27g of added sugar. A Monster 500mL contains 54g — roughly 13 teaspoons. The energy hit is real, but so is what follows it: a blood glucose spike, a short window of alertness, and then the familiar slump that sends many Kiwis reaching for the next can.
The shift away from synthetic energy drinks is accelerating. More New Zealanders want energy sourced from real food — botanical caffeine, genuine fruit nutrition, and ingredients you can actually read. The Modere Acai Drink was made for exactly that demand: a 90mL daily shot with 97% real fruit juice, dual natural caffeine sources, and Vitamin B1 for genuine energy metabolism support. No carbonation. No artificial colours. No crash architecture.
Why this is different from every energy drink on the NZ market
🍇
97% real fruit juice across 11 superfruits
Amazon acai (20%), pomegranate, blueberry, purple grape, kiwifruit, plum, pear, apricot, apple, white grape and red grape. Not juice-flavoured — it is juice, with functional botanical additions.
🌿
Natural caffeine from two botanical sources
Green tea extract (paired with L-theanine for calm, focused alertness) and guarana seed extract (slow tannin-bound release that extends the energy window). No synthetic caffeine.
⚡
Vitamin B1 — the energy metabolism co-factor
Thiamine (B1) is the coenzyme that converts carbohydrates into ATP — the actual energy currency your cells run on. Most energy drinks stimulate; this one also supports the metabolic pathway that produces energy.
✖
No carbonation — smooth 90mL daily shot
The concentrated format and absence of carbonation makes it easy to take first thing in the morning, before exercise, or as a mid-afternoon ritual without the bloat of 250–500mL carbonated drinks.
✔
Non-GMO, no artificial colours
Clean ingredient list, fully disclosed on label. The deep berry colour comes naturally from the acai and berry juice content.
Full ingredient breakdown
| Ingredient | Role |
|---|---|
| Acai juice (20%) | The base of the formula. Amazon acai berry is one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits studied — rich in anthocyanins and polyphenols that neutralise free radicals. |
| 10 additional fruit juices (from concentrate) | White grape, red grape, plum, purple grape, blueberry, apricot, pear, kiwifruit, apple, pomegranate. Total fruit juice content: 97%. Broad-spectrum polyphenol and antioxidant matrix. |
| Green tea extract | Natural caffeine source. Paired with naturally occurring L-theanine — an amino acid that moderates the stimulant effect and promotes calm, sustained alertness rather than a jitter spike. |
| Guarana seed extract | Second natural caffeine source. Caffeine in guarana is bound to tannins, slowing absorption and extending energy release over several hours — the mechanism behind its crash-reducing profile. |
| Thiamine mononitrate (Vitamin B1) | A required coenzyme in the conversion of dietary carbohydrates into ATP. Not just stimulation — actual metabolic energy support. |
| Natural flavours | Enhances the natural berry and fruit flavour profile. |
| Xanthan gum (thickener) | A natural fermentation-derived thickener that gives the drink its smooth, non-watery consistency. |
| Sodium benzoate (preservative) | Maintains microbiological stability. Fully disclosed on label. |
| Maltodextrin | Carrier for botanical extracts. Aids consistent dosing and suspension of active ingredients. |
Total fruit juice content: 97%. Contains caffeine from green tea extract and guarana. Not recommended for children, pregnant or lactating women, or people sensitive to caffeine. Do not mix with alcohol. May contain traces of soy. Not suitable for anyone with a pine tree allergy (if arabinogalactan is present — check current label).
How the energy works — three mechanisms
Dual natural caffeine — sustained, not spiked
Green tea extract provides caffeine with L-theanine — the calm-focus pairing studied extensively in cognitive performance research. Guarana extends the energy window via its tannin-bound caffeine matrix, absorbing over 3–6 hours rather than the 30–90 minute window of synthetic caffeine. Together they produce a longer, smoother energy arc.
Vitamin B1 activates your ATP pathway
Thiamine is a required co-factor in pyruvate dehydrogenase — the enzyme that converts glucose from fruit carbohydrates into acetyl-CoA, feeding the Krebs cycle and ultimately producing ATP. Without adequate B1, this process is less efficient. The inclusion of B1 means you’re actually supporting the metabolic process that produces energy, not just stimulating the perception of it.
Antioxidants reduce oxidative fatigue
The feeling of tiredness after mental or physical exertion is partly caused by oxidative stress — free radical accumulation during energy metabolism. The 11-fruit antioxidant profile helps neutralise these free radicals, supporting cellular function and reducing the oxidative burden that contributes to fatigue.

| You want the antioxidant benefits of real superfruits alongside your energy boost | You are under 18 (adults only, per label instructions) |

How to take it
Adults only: take 1 bottle (90mL) once per day. Do not consume more than one serving per day. Best taken in the morning or before an activity where sustained focus and energy are needed.
Store in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children. The 12-pack provides a 12-day supply at the recommended daily dose.
What to take it with — NZ stacking guide
The Acai Drink works well alongside other Shaklee daily supplements. Here’s how Kiwis typically combine it:
| Combine with | Why it makes sense |
|---|---|
| Shaklee Vivix® | Acai Drink provides daily energy support; Vivix provides deep cellular antioxidant protection. Together they cover both the energy layer and the cellular ageing layer. |
| Liquid BioCell® LIFE | The acai polyphenols and BioCell’s hydrolysed collagen target different body systems — antioxidant energy + joint and skin matrix support. |
| Good Gut & Go | Gut health affects energy absorption and immune function. Combining the TreBiotic with the Acai Drink covers gut health and daily energy in the one morning routine. |

Frequently asked questions about Modere Acai Drink NZ
Is Modere Acai Drink available in New Zealand?
Yes. It’s available through the Shaklee NZ website. Order through my ambassador link and I’ll personally support your order. Shipped from the NZ Shaklee warehouse.
Does it actually contain real acai or just acai flavour?
Real acai juice — 20% by volume. The total fruit juice content is 97% across all 11 fruits. It’s not a flavoured drink; the deep berry colour and flavour come from the juice itself.
Is the caffeine level safe for everyday use?
The caffeine comes from green tea extract and guarana at moderate levels — this is formulated as a daily supplement, not a high-stimulant drink. Adults without caffeine sensitivity can take one bottle daily. Do not exceed one serving per day.
How does it compare to a Lift Plus or V Energy in New Zealand?
Red Bull and V Energy contain 0% fruit juice, synthetic caffeine, artificial colours and 27–28g of added sugar per can. Lift Plus is similar. The Modere Acai Drink contains 97% real fruit juice, natural caffeine only, no artificial colours, and no added sugar beyond what’s naturally present in the fruit juices.
Can I take it if I’m already taking Vivix or BioCell?
Yes — they target different mechanisms. The Acai Drink provides daily energy support. Vivix provides deep cellular polyphenol protection. BioCell supports joint and skin structure. They complement rather than duplicate each other.
Is it suitable for a keto or low-sugar diet?
The product contains natural fruit sugars from the 97% juice content. It’s not a low-carb or keto product. If you’re strictly managing carbohydrate intake, check the nutrition panel on the current label.
