Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high sugar content. A single 250ml serving contains 27.5g of added sugar, which is 55% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. It also contains high levels of caffeine and artificial flavors, making it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Watermelon Energy Spritzer
In a glass, combine 100ml of Red Bull Watermelon with 150ml of chilled sparkling water. Add a handful of fresh mint leaves and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Stir gently and serve over ice.
Health Benefits
Dilutes the drink to lower the sugar and caffeine concentration per glass while providing better hydration.
Frozen Watermelon Energy Slushie
In a blender, combine 125ml (half a can) of Red Bull Watermelon with one cup of frozen watermelon chunks. Blend on high until a smooth, slushie consistency is reached. Serve immediately.
Health Benefits
Reduces the serving of the energy drink by half and adds natural fiber, vitamins, and hydration from fresh fruit.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, such as Citric Acid (E330) and Sodium Citrate (E331), are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by FSSAI. The product uses natural color (Anthocyanins). The primary concerns are the high caffeine content and the use of artificial flavors, which are less desirable than all-natural alternatives.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Vitalizes body and mind' is a functional claim based on the stimulant effects of caffeine and a sugar rush. While technically true for a short period, it is questionable as it overlooks the significant negative health impact of the high sugar content and the subsequent energy crash. The packaging is, however, compliant in displaying the mandatory 'High Caffeine' warning.
