What You Should Know

You'd spot this chilled in the health-drink or craft-soda section and reach for it as a 'better-than-soda' option at brunch, movie night, or on a road trip. It evokes a nostalgic ginger-ale fizz but with a botanical, gut-friendly marketing twist. The ingredient list — isolated prebiotic fibers, fruit concentrates, natural flavors and added sweeteners — and the consistent fizzy texture point to an industrially formulated product consistent with ultra-processed beverages.
