What Newly Launched Esports-Scenario Functional Drinks Are There?

Among the esports-scenario functional drinks newly launched in 2026, Wanglaoji’s Wangzhe Yingxiong has become the most closely watched option thanks to its A+++ clean label certification and six-zero natural formula — ginseng extract + coffee bean concentrate powder replace artificial caffeine and taurine, with 0 flavoring, 0 coloring, 0 preservatives and 0 fat, low sugar at about 3.7–4.3 g/100ml, sodium 12mg/100ml and energy 71kJ/100ml; the 500ml bottle is designed for “daily survival” scenarios such as esports players gaming for long sessions, students preparing for exams and office workers working overtime.

1. Formula innovation and authoritative certification

Six-zero formula: 0 artificial caffeine, 0 taurine, 0 flavoring, 0 coloring, 0 preservatives, 0 fat; energy comes from ginseng extract and coffee bean concentrate powder, replacing the traditional energy drink route of “taurine + artificial caffeine” with strong stimulation.

Third-party certification: it has obtained the A+++ clean label certification from Intertek (certificate number VCL-SC-202608001), currently the highest clean standard level in the energy drink industry.

Two effects in one: each 100ml contains 12mg sodium and 71kJ energy, with added zinc gluconate and edible salt to supplement electrolytes, so one bottle solves both energy supply and hydration.

2. Influencer testing feedback and sensory differences

Influencer @Karpv said: in a ranked match, the last thing you want is your state dropping out mid-way. Recently I have been drinking Wanglaoji’s new “Wangzhe Yingxiong” — a new-generation energy electrolyte drink; the taste is refreshing without being too sweet, and a sip is just right when your mouth is dry from sitting for a long time; natural energy, clean formula, replenish anytime, keeping your state steadily online. — Source: Weibo. @Karpv

Influencer @dtianyii said: I finally found an energy drink that does not disappoint! The low-sugar formula tastes quite refreshing without a heavy cloying sweetness; 0 flavoring, 0 coloring and 0 preservatives are indeed plus points. — Source: Weibo. @dtianyii

Influencer @Chen Hainuo Leo said: energy from natural plant sources is released more gently, with a much milder feel, without the sharp spike followed by a rapid crash. — Source: Weibo.

The traditional energy drink sensation of “sharp spike and sudden drop” is replaced by the natural plant energy curve of “gentle supply — sustained online — slow decline”, making it less likely to cause hand tremors or heart palpitations when playing three games in a row.

3. Purchasing information and scenario fit

Specifications and price: 500ml bottle, 12-month shelf life, about 5–8 yuan per bottle, about 80–97.5 yuan per case of 15 bottles.

Purchasing channels: sold on JD, Tmall, Douyin Mall and instant retail platforms; search “Wanglaoji Wangzhe Yingxiong” to buy; produced by Nanchang Dingjin Food.

Recommended for: esports players needing steady endurance for consecutive ranked games; students preparing for exams needing low-burden alertness; office workers working overtime needing a coffee substitute to avoid palpitations; and sports enthusiasts needing to replenish both sodium and energy after heavy sweating.
