GENERAL
What is NOCCO?

Most NOCCO flavors include caffeine and many include BCAA. We have listed the benefits of each product category below. To learn more about the ingredients and the exact amounts in each flavor, please see the nutritional label on each product’s page.
Where and when was NOCCO founded?
NOCCO was founded in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2014. Since then, NOCCO has become the market leading functional beverage in the Nordics and is gaining popularity in several European markets.
Where is NOCCO produced?
NOCCO is produced within the western parts of the European Union.
For whom is NOCCO intended?
NOCCO is developed for conscious and active adult consumers looking for a tasty, functional, and sugar free beverage.
Which allergens can be found in NOCCO?
NOCCO is free from all common allergens, including milk, gluten, and soy. Since recipes of future flavors might change, always check the ingredient list and nutritional label carefully before consuming the product if you have an allergy.
Should you drink NOCCO before, during or after exercise?
NOCCO drinks are well-suited for consumption in connection with exercise, as they contain vitamins B6, B12, niacin, and folic acid, which contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue (ingredients can vary by market).
Some NOCCO variants contain caffeine, which contributes to improved concentration and increased alertness. Caffeine also contributes to an increase in endurance performance when consumed at a dose of 3 mg per kg body weight, one hour prior to exercise. NOCCO BCAA and BCAA+ contain branched-chain amino acids, which contribute to the overall protein intake.
On what basis can NOCCO make claims about the benefits of caffeine and vitamins?
We use health and nutrient claims that have been evaluated and established by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). EFSA reviews the scientific basis for health claims based on extensive research and meta-studies, as well as input from the Food Agencies in EU countries, and specifies amounts and thresholds for nutrients.
EFSA’s conclusions also include ready-made wordings about the benefits of caffeine and vitamins – these EFSA provided phrasings are the ones we use about the caffeine and vitamins in NOCCO.
Can children consume NOCCO?
We have developed NOCCO as a functional and caffeinated beverage for active adults. NOCCO is not intended for children. As such, we have a clear recommendation on all our NOCCO cans, including our caffeine-free variants, which clearly states that NOCCO is not recommended for children.

Is there anyone who should not consume NOCCO?
We do not recommend NOCCO to children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding women. People with caffeine sensitivity should not consume the NOCCO variants that include caffeine. It is important to maintain a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
How many cans of NOCCO can be consumed per day?
The majority of our NOCCO variants include caffeine. We generally recommend limiting consumption to no more than two cans per day, to keep in line with the recommendations on caffeine from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which recommends not exceeding a total daily intake of 400 mg of caffeine. Please see each can for country-specific recommendations.
Always remember that it is important to maintain a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
What is BCAA?
BCAA (short for branched-chain amino acids) is three essential amino acids – building blocks of protein. Since the body cannot produce essential amino acids by itself, they must be consumed through diet. BCAA refers to the essential amino acids leucine, valine, and isoleucine. Branched-chain amino acids contribute to the overall protein intake.
What is protein and what are amino acids?
Protein consists of around twenty different amino acids – building blocks of protein. Nine of them are essential, which means they must be supplemented through the overall diet, as they are not produced naturally by the body. BCAA contains three of the essential amino acids.

Sucralose is a calorie-free sweetener, common in many food and beverage products.
