It was followed by Bear Brand Busog Lusog in May 2008, which is the first wholly-Filipino made cereal drink. In 2010, Monggo flavor was introduced, but in 2013 it was discontinued, but remains available in Indonesia.

Energen is enriched with SIGMAVit (a proprietary nutrient infused powder) with milk, malt, cereal and oats. In Indonesia, it was manufactured as oat milk (like Quaker Oats). In the Philippines, a variant with a mixture of oat drink and real fruit called Energen Go-Fruit in 2013 was manufactured and marketed. It was silently discontinued in 2015.
