The short answer
Prime contains no pork, no gelatin and no alcohol, so it is halal by its ingredients. It simply has no halal certification.
What is in Prime Hydration?
Prime Hydration contains water, coconut water, electrolytes, sweeteners and flavors. Electrolytes are minerals, such as sodium and potassium, that your body loses when you sweat. The sweeteners are sucralose and acesulfame potassium. None of these ingredients come from pork, and none are made with gelatin.
Why do we mark Prime "depends"?
Prime has no halal certificate. That means nobody has independently confirmed where its "natural flavors" and colors come from. Most Muslims treat Prime as halal by its ingredients. Very strict Muslims may prefer to confirm the flavors first or choose a certified drink.
Is Prime Energy halal?
Prime Energy is the version with caffeine. On the halal question, it is the same as Prime Hydration: halal by its ingredients, but not certified. The difference between the two drinks is the caffeine, which is not a halal issue.
