MAJOR BRAND SELLS IT  

Pepsi Prebiotic Cola delivers the classic Pepsi cola taste with a refreshing, smooth flavor profile designed for everyday enjoyment. A balanced sweetness and bubbly carbonation highlight nostalgic cola notes, finishing clean and crisp. This category-defining prebiotic soda tastes like only Pepsi can and contains no artificial sweeteners, only 30 calories, 5g of sugar, and 3g of prebiotic fiber*, offering people a prebiotic drink that blends functional ingredients with the best-tasting Pepsi flavor.

*10g of daily soluble corn fiber, the fiber found in Pepsi Prebiotic Cola, has been shown to provide a prebiotic effect.

Probiotic drinks such as kefir, kombucha, and yogurt drinks contain beneficial live microorganisms, including bacteria and yeasts.

The benefits of probiotic drinks include supporting gut health, boosting the immune system, improving mood, and managing inflammation.

Like all dietary supplements, probiotic drinks are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so what is listed on the product labeling is not always accurate.

Probiotic shots are small, concentrated beverages intended to provide a dose of probiotics. Research specifically on commercial probiotic shot drinks is limited.

Buttermilk may contain probiotics, although this is more commonly found in traditional buttermilk rather than cultured buttermilk, which is more widely available in stores. Traditional buttermilk refers to the liquid remaining after butter is churned and contains live probiotic cultures.

Water-based probiotic drinks are clear, flavored waters that include added probiotics. They generally contain low levels of sugar and calories.

Research indicates that liquid probiotics may help maintain bacteria viability and offer some protection from digestion.9 However, probiotic waters that are not properly refrigerated and are too acidic may lose their potency, failing to deliver probiotic benefits effectively.

Probiotic juices are fruit and vegetable juices that have been fortified with probiotics. They may contain one or multiple probiotic strains, such as L. rhamnosus, L. acidophilus, and L. plantarum.

Research on these bacterial strains suggests that they can help alleviate various diseases and illnesses, including diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome.8 They may also play a role in prevention and treatment of obesity, diabetes, and cancer.

Probiotic milk is dairy or plant-based milk that is fortified with probiotics. It is often advertised as an alternative to kefir or kombucha.

Probiotic yogurt drinks are produced through the fermentation of dairy products.4 They are distinguished by their higher concentrations of probiotics (live beneficial microbes), notably strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Lactobacillus casei. These have been shown to support digestion and general well-being.

Kombucha is a fermented drink made from sweetened black tea, bacteria, and yeast.

 Its potential benefits include better digestion, a stronger immune system, and a healthier gut microbiome (the community of microbes in the gut). Some studies also suggest it may help prevent or treat diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and allergies.3\

Kefir is a fermented dairy beverage produced by introducing bacterial and yeast cultures into milk.

 The cultures consume the natural sugars present in the milk, enabling them to multiply and resulting in the fermentation process that creates kefir. (wiserlifestyles.com)
