Support Your Gut Bacteria. Prebiotics are to probiotics what fertilizer is to a garden: they are the specific fibers that support your healthy bacteria and help them “set up shop” and thrive within your digestive tract. The problem? Incorporating enough of these critical foods into your diet can be extremely difficult. That’s why we’ve combined these powerful food-based (nothing synthetic here!) prebiotic fibers into a simple daily spoonful of goodness.

Look And Feel Your Best. In the last 10 years, scientists have uncovered the importance of our microbial health for our overall health. We now know that nurturing the right balance of microbes in our digestive tract through prebiotic foods supports digestive and immune function, healthy weight management, energy levels, brain function, and mental clarity.

Maintain Your Gut Barrier. There are two critical factors in your digestive and overall health—the balance of your gut bacteria and the composition of your intestinal wall—and together these make up your gut barrier. The food-based ingredients in this complete prebiotic complex have been clinically studied to support your gut barrier by encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Avoid Stomach Upset. Hyperbiotics Prebiotic Powder is a proprietary blend that is designed with sensitive stomachs in mind. Acacia Fiber actually slows fermentation to support digestive health. What’s more, this complete prebiotic complex is an ideal mix of inulin, FOS, resistant starch, and soluble dietary fiber that gently supports your gut and the growth of your good bacteria, supporting nearly every aspect of your health.

Choose Food-Based, Naturally-Occuring, & Organic. Many prebiotic supplements contain synthetic, or man-made, ingredients and at Hyperbiotics, we believe our bodies deserve better. That’s why our prebiotic powder is an organic, food-based blend with a nutritional makeup rich in beneficial micro and macronutrients that your body can more readily recognize and absorb. This makes it the perfect addition to your smoothies and soft foods.

Blend, shake, or mix. Add 1 scoop into any shake or soft food (like oatmeal or yogurt), or up your dosage to 2-3 daily scoops for more intense microbial support. Hyperbiotics Prebiotic Powder Hyperbiotics Prebiotic Powder is nearly flavorless, and will take on the flavor profile of the food or beverage it’s added to.
Commit to healthy eating. By skipping over processed and industrially manufactured foods and focusing on a diet high in whole, plant-based foods like vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and seeds—especially those with natural prebiotic fiber—you’ll give your gut bacteria the fuel they need to thrive. In fact, studies show that the microorganisms in our gut change relatively quickly based on the food we eat.
Move regularly. Even as much as a short walk can increase the diversity of your gut bacteria, which can then boost your immune system and improve your health. By making daily movement a priority (the more the better!), you’ll also be making it easier to stay well, manage a healthy weight, and feel your ultimate best.

Is Prebiotic Soda Good for You?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Prebiotic drinks, including prebiotic sodas, are popping up on social media and taking over shelves in stores from Whole Foods to Walmart. Adding functional fibers to fizzy favorites may sound like a recipe for a robust microbiome, but is prebiotic soda good for you, or are the purported benefits all just hype?

First, what is prebiotic soda?

Prebiotic sodas are marketed as healthier soda alternatives enriched with one or more plant fibers. Most brands contain soluble fiber, which doesn't break down during digestion. Instead, it passes into the large intestine, where gut microbes feed on it and produce byproducts like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Inulin is the most common type of fiber in prebiotic soda. Made up of a chain of fructose molecules, this soluble fiber usually comes from sources like chicory root and agave. One popular brand combines several different types of fiber from chicory, marshmallow root, cassava and nopal cactus to provide a diverse range of prebiotics.

Prebiotic soda benefits

Consuming prebiotics is associated with several health benefits due to how they affect the gut microbiome. Soluble fiber increases microbiome diversity, which is correlated with lower instances of chronic disease and better overall health.^† Increased prebiotic fiber intake is also associated with lower inflammation.^† This could be due to the anti-inflammatory effects of SCFAs or the interplay between some microbes and the immune cells that line the gut.^† SCFAs can have beneficial immune effects in other areas of the body. These compounds interact with innate and adaptive immune cells to maintain balance and strengthen responses to infections.^† SCFAs also protect against intestinal permeability ("leaky gut"), which can help prevent pathogens and proteins from entering the bloodstream and triggering allergic reactions.^†

Okay, so what about actually drinking prebiotic soda?

Although science shows widespread correlations between prebiotics and gut health, evidence for specific prebiotic soda benefits is lacking. Part of the problem may be how prebiotic drink processing methods affect the amount of fiber in the final product. And sodas enriched with prebiotics contain far fewer types of fiber than whole plant foods, the natural source of prebiotics. In fact, diversity of plants—not functional beverage consumption—is one of the most reliable predictors of a healthy microbiome, largely due to the high fiber content of these foods.

Are there any side effects of drinking prebiotic soda?

Some prebiotic drinks can have as much as nine grams of fiber per 12-ounce can, more than half of what most Americans get in their daily diets. Such a rapid increase in fiber intake can cause:

Gas
Bloating
Cramping
Constipation
Loose stools
Uncomfortable feelings of fullness

Gasses produced as gut bacteria break down fibers like inulin may worsen symptoms of IBS or cause gastrointestinal distress in people with FODMAP sensitivities. Since chicory is part of the daisy family, you may be at risk of allergic reaction from prebiotic sodas if you also react to daisies, dandelions, sunflowers or chamomile. Chicory has additional potential to cross-react with birch pollen and trigger symptoms of oral allergy syndrome in people with seasonal allergies.

How to choose the right prebiotic soda for you

If you don't have allergies or a condition like IBS, prebiotic soda can be an enjoyable alternative to traditional soda. Many brands offer classic flavors like cola, root beer, and ginger—as well as fun new combinations to try. Pay attention to ingredients as you compare brands. The healthiest prebiotic sodas are free from:

Excessive sugar
Artificial sweeteners
Artificial colors
Artificial flavors
Chemical additives

Keep in mind that switching to drinks with prebiotics may not provide the gut health benefits that some brands profess. If your goal is a healthier microbiome, consider a more widespread dietary change that includes replacing sugary drinks and ultra-processed foods with high-fiber options like fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. Choosing prebiotic soda may have benefits unrelated to the fiber content that make it worth the switch. Many brands use less sugar than traditional soda or add alternative sweeteners like monk fruit, which can help reduce your sugar intake if you're trying to cut back on sweetened beverages.

So, should you switch to prebiotic soda?

Swapping regular soda for a lower-sugar drink infused with prebiotics can add more fiber to your diet and possibly improve your gut health. However, science hasn't yet demonstrated that drinking soda can have the same microbiome-boosting effects as eating high-fiber foods. So pack your plate with plants, and enjoy prebiotic soda as a tasty treat when you're in the mood for a healthier alternative with classic soda flavor. ^†These statements have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
