Jolt Modern Soda is Redcon1's functional reimagining of the legendary 1980s cola brand — built for people who want a better-for-you soda with a light caffeine lift and added functional ingredients, not a full-stimulant energy drink. Each 12oz can delivers 80mg of natural caffeine from green coffee beans, 1g of prebiotic soluble fiber, Alpha GPC for cognitive support, Taurine, and a full B vitamin complex — in a zero sugar, 5-calorie soda format. Four iconic flavors: Jolt Cola, Dr. Jolt, Root Beer, and Cream Soda.
What's Inside Jolt Modern Soda (Per 12oz Can)
- 80mg Natural Caffeine — sourced from green coffee beans (Coffea arabica), not synthetic caffeine anhydrous. 80mg is the same caffeine level as a standard Red Bull — enough for a real, noticeable lift without the intensity of a high-stim energy drink. It's a daily-use, any-time-of-day caffeine level that doesn't disrupt sleep for most people when consumed before evening.†
- 1g Prebiotic Fiber (Soluble Corn Fiber) — soluble corn fiber is a prebiotic that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, supporting the intestinal microbiome. Most sodas offer zero nutritional benefit beyond flavor — the inclusion of 1g prebiotic fiber directly addresses that gap and makes Jolt Modern Soda a functionally differentiated product in the "better-for-you" beverage space.†
- Alpha GPC (Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine) — the most bioavailable choline precursor available, crossing the blood-brain barrier to support acetylcholine production for cognitive clarity and focus. The same nootropic ingredient found in premium pre-workouts, included here at a soda-appropriate supporting dose for a background cognitive edge throughout the day.†
- Taurine — a conditionally essential amino acid that supports cellular hydration, cardiovascular function, and complements caffeine's energizing effects by smoothing the stimulant experience. Present in most quality energy drinks as a standard performance and tolerability ingredient.†
- Vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin) — 100% DV — a meaningful, functional dose of B12 supporting energy metabolism at the cellular level. B12 deficiency is one of the most common nutritional shortfalls and directly affects energy production, making this a practical inclusion in a daily-use beverage.†
- Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCl) — 100% DV — supports amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and energy production alongside B12.†
- Pantothenic Acid / Vitamin B5 (as D-Calcium Pantothenate) — the "anti-stress" B vitamin, essential for CoA synthesis and adrenal function.†
- Zero sugar. Zero artificial colors. 5 calories per can.
Frequently Asked Questions About Jolt Modern Soda
-
What's the difference between Jolt Modern Soda and Jolt Cola High Performance Energy Drink?
Two completely different products. The High Performance Energy Drink comes in a 16oz can with 200mg caffeine, 200mg Alpha GPC, 1g L-Carnitine, 1g Taurine — a full energy drink formula positioned against Celsius and Ghost. Jolt Modern Soda is a 12oz can with 80mg caffeine, 1g prebiotic fiber, and a lighter functional ingredient load — positioned as a zero-sugar soda replacement for people who want something better than regular Coke or Pepsi but don't want the full stimulant hit of a high-caffeine energy drink. Same brand, completely different use cases. -
What flavors does Jolt Modern Soda come in?
Four flavors: Jolt Cola (the classic), Dr. Jolt (the Dr. Pepper-style flavor), Root Beer, and Cream Soda. Each flavor is built on the same functional base — the same ingredient stack across all four, just different natural flavor profiles. All four are zero sugar with the same 5-calorie count per 12oz can. -
Who is Jolt Modern Soda actually for?
It fits three distinct customer types well. Soda drinkers who want to cut sugar and empty calories but haven't found a zero-sugar option that tastes like a real soda — the prebiotic fiber and B vitamin additions make it meaningfully better than Diet Coke or Coke Zero without adding stimulant levels that deter casual drinkers. Athletes and gym-goers who use high-stim pre-workouts for training but want something light and functional for non-training hours. And older customers or anyone who avoids high caffeine but still wants an afternoon energy option — at 80mg, Jolt Modern Soda is appropriate throughout the day where 200mg cans are not. -
What's the backstory on Jolt Cola and why does Redcon1 own it?
Jolt Cola launched in 1985 with the tagline "All the sugar and twice the caffeine" — it was widely considered the first high-caffeine mass market beverage, essentially creating the category that Monster and Red Bull would later dominate. The brand filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and made a brief unsuccessful relaunch in 2017 before going dormant again. In 2024, Redcon1 secured the Jolt Cola license through IMG Licensing and relaunched it in 2025 with two distinct product lines: the High Performance Energy Drink for stim enthusiasts, and Modern Soda for the broader functional beverage market. The nostalgia angle is genuine — this brand was controversial when it launched, and a lot of people in the supplement industry remember it.
