What's inside - Naked: Orange Mango Motion

So, my favorite drink are those Naked, 100% juice smoothies. My favorite flavor that they have to offer is Orange Mango Motion, and on the back they list all the stuff that's inside of it, and frankly I have no idea what any of it means. So after some research here's what I found out -

*Guarana (380 mg) - Probably nothing big, though reports have been tested, and have concluded that this stuff can help you loose weight. However, I highly doubt there's enough in here to help at all. On a not so good note - There is apparently a little bit of caffeine in it too.
*Riboflavin (3 mg) - A type of Vitamin B, and, when in the bloodstream, will help other B vitamins be more efficient. Is pretty healthy, and doesn't seem to have any downsides.
*Cyanocobalamin (3.5 mg) - Can be pretty important for the brain and nervous system, not to mention the formation of blood. However, there are some downsides to this... some major ones: It apparently can cause irreversible damage to the things it's supposed to help: The brain and nervous system, the latter being the most dangerous. Some of the things this can do to you - can cause itching, rashes, diarrhea, and more. Though I wouldn't worry about all this: Because it ultimately only happens to people who take to much, and there's not to much in Naked!
*Niacin (38 mg) - The recommended amount of Niacin each day is 2-12 for children, 14 for grown women, 16 for grown men, and 18 for pregnant women. I don't really know how much is too much, though 38 seems like quite a bit!

Fruits in Orange Mango Motion
*1 1/2 Oranges
*1 1/2 Apples
*1/2 Mango
*"and a hint of Banana"

That was fun!
