NOCCO (an acronym for No Carbs Company) is a Swedish brand of caffeinated energy drink produced by Vitamin Well Group. It is marketed as a low-calorie, sugar-free functional beverage containing caffeine, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and B vitamins. The drink contains approximately 55 mg of caffeine per 100 ml, which is considerably higher than many mainstream energy drinks.[1]

As of January 2026, NOCCO is sold in 24 countries across three continents.[2][3]

Ingredients

NOCCO is a carbonated beverage. The exact composition and caffeine content varies by product, but may include:

BCAAs are included to support muscle protein synthesis and recovery. However, research suggests that the amount present in a single serving is likely insufficient to produce a measurable anabolic effect, and that consuming BCAAs alone may not effectively stimulate muscle protein synthesis.[5][6]

Safety

Like other energy drinks with high caffeine content, NOCCO should be consumed in moderation. It is not recommended for children, teenagers, or pregnant or breastfeeding women.[7][8]

Excessive consumption may lead to caffeine-related side effects such as insomnia, nervousness, nausea, tachycardia, and palpitations, and may exceed the recommended daily caffeine limit of 400 mg for healthy adults set by health authorities.[9]

As a sugar-free beverage, NOCCO contains artificial sweeteners such as sucralose, the long-term health effects of which continue to be studied.[10]
