Looks like some sort of juice concoction with lots of gimmick ingredients. It's not exactly bad or anything, but it looks like some kind of sugary juice energy drink. It's hard to say what is "healthy" and what is "not healthy". It really depends on circumstances and your overall diet as a whole. It's not obviously terrible, like eating a twinkie or takis, but its not like having a plain grilled chicken breast and a plain greens salad either.

If your blood sugar is low and/or you need a quick mental energy boost, then hit it. If your daily caloric budget can afford it, then go for it. I'd steer clear of drinking sugary calories though. Drink water and save the calories for solid food. If you want the, lion's mane, cordyceps, ginseng, theanine, or caffeine, just take the pill or powder for supplements.
