Why Is There Fiber in My Energy Drink? Prebiotics, Explained
Prebiotic fiber is a type of fiber used in the FAMUS recipe. Havana Nights has 9g per bottle and OG Luxe has 16g. Check your bottle for the current Nutrition Facts and ingredient list.
Most energy drink labels lead with caffeine. The FAMUS recipe also includes prebiotic fiber.
FAMUS carries 9–16 grams of prebiotic fiber per bottle — a deliberate break from that deal. Here’s what it’s doing in there.
What is prebiotic fiber?
Fiber comes in two broad kinds. Insoluble fiber (bran, vegetable skins) is roughage — it passes through. Soluble, prebiotic fiber dissolves into a gentle gel and travels to your large intestine, where it becomes food for your beneficial gut bacteria. “Prebiotic” literally means before life — it’s what the good microbes eat.
Prebiotic fiber is one of several ingredients in the bottle, alongside real juice and the functional blend.
Fiber in each flavor
Fiber amounts can differ widely among beverages. We chose to include it as part of the FAMUS formula.
There are 9g in a Havana Nights and 16g in an OG Luxe, per 16oz bottle. For full serving information, read the current bottle label.
Why put fiber in an energy drink?
We wanted an ingredient list with more than caffeine and flavoring. Fiber is one part of that formulation choice, alongside juice, natural caffeine sources, and L-theanine.
