Health-Ade, known for its Kombucha products, ventures into the prebiotic soda market with the launch of SunSip. Recognizing consumers' increasing interest in gut-health benefits in carbonated beverages, SunSip is a prebiotic soda containing five grams of sugar sourced from cane sugar and sweetened with fruit juice and monk fruit. Health-Ade recently expressed interest in expanding beyond kombucha products, announcing that it has been experimenting for the past five years.
The soda has four flavors—Raspberry Lemonade, Cherry Cola, Strawberry Vanilla, and Root Beer. Formulated with 2g of fiber from agave inulin fiber and the inclusion of apple cider vinegar, SunSip aims to offer additional gut-health advantages.
The product is available at Whole Foods stores and on Health-Ade's website. The suggested retail price is $2.49 per can.
