Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant, and D3 are both good for your immune health too.

Is Starbucks Doubleshot Energy Bad For You?

No, Starbucks Doubleshot Energy is not bad for you at all. I’d go as far as saying that it is good for you due to the nutritional profile and being fortified with vitamins, minerals and herbs like Guarana and Panax Ginseng.
