Can Prebiotics in Bloom’s Sparkling Energy Drink Boost Your Gut?

In today’s wellness landscape, gut health is a top priority, with many products now boasting microbiome-fortifying ingredients. Enter Bloom Nutrition’s new sparkling energy drinks, packed with prebiotic fiber, green coffee bean extract, apple cider vinegar, L-theanine, and lychee extract. While not explicitly marketed for gut health, these drinks offer a healthier alternative to traditional energy drinks. However, with only one gram of fiber per can, the prebiotic benefits may be more hype than substance. Registered Dietitian Jaclyn London suggests diversifying your diet with fiber-rich foods for optimal gut health. As for the “natural energy without the crash” claim, the caffeine from green coffee bean extract, combined with calming compounds like taurine and L-theanine, may provide alertness without jitters. London advises moderation and checking with your doctor if you take certain medications. Enjoy Bloom’s energy drink for taste and mental focus, but look to whole foods for a true prebiotic boost. Remember to stay hydrated if increasing your fiber intake to avoid digestive issues.
