Bang energy drinks are regarded to be vegan because they do not include any animal-derived components or byproducts. These foods are suitable for vegans and others who adhere to a diet that emphasizes the intake of plant foods because they are fully plant-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_taurine_vegan\"><\/span>Is taurine vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taurine is vegan.

<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Super Creatine<\/strong> is the result of combining <strong>l-leucine and creatine<\/strong> which are processed and created in laboratories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/7-nutrients-you-cant-get-from-plants#2.-Creatine\">Creatine<\/a><\/strong> is stored in muscles and also found in the brain.

It is also referred to as the &ldquo;main amino acid&rdquo; due to its significant benefits in muscle building and energy balance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of creatine and l-leucine makes Bang more efficient in reaching the brain cells to increase mental performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-the-eaas-in-bang-vegan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_the_EAAs_in_Bang_vegan\"><\/span>Are the EAAs in Bang vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Yes, the essential amino acids (EAAs) in Bang are indeed vegan. The company replaced BCAAs to EAAs to make Bang Energy Drink vegan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The vegan powerlifting athlete Nick Squires<strong> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/meatymcsorley\/status\/1008109784594186241\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted<\/a> <\/strong>that Bang is not considered vegan-friendly due to the BCAA content &ndash; there is also a <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/veganfitness\/comments\/8z6j36\/bang_energy_drinks_are_they_vegan\/\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit thread<\/a><\/strong> (now deleted) discussing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this prompted Bang to reformulate their ingredients and opt for <strong>EAAs<\/strong> instead of <strong>BCAAs<\/strong> which allowed them to market their product as vegan-friendly. Most Bang Energy Drinks that are now available contain EAAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-the-artificial-sweeteners-in-bang-vegan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_the_artificial_sweeteners_in_Bang_vegan\"><\/span>Are the artificial sweeteners in Bang vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Artificial sweeteners like sucralose and acesulfame potassium are considered vegan because they are created in laboratories<\/strong> <strong>using chemicals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are artificial sweeteners that have been tested on animals which makes it non-vegan.

It is made from sugar but without calories and a bitter aftertaste reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Acesulfame potassium<\/strong>, on the other hand, is <strong>up to 200 times sweeter<\/strong> and is <strong>often mixed with sucralose to get rid of its bitter taste. <\/strong>It can also be found in soft drinks, baked goods, frozen desserts, and many other products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sucralose and acesulfame potassium are both controversial due to their side effects. However, the FDA do consider it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/food-additives-petitions\/additional-information-about-high-intensity-sweeteners-permitted-use-food-united-states\">safe<\/a> for use in food and beverages under certain conditions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3198517\/\">study<\/a> if you want to learn more about sugar substitutes, their perceived benefits, and controversies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-all-bang-flavors-vegan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_All_Bang_Flavors_Vegan\"><\/span>Are All Bang Flavors Vegan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1-1024x511.jpg\" alt=\"Bang energy drink flavors\" class=\"wp-image-3147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1-1024x511.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1-768x383.jpg 768w, https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1-1024x511.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Bang energy drink flavors\" class=\"wp-image-3147 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1-1024x511.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1-300x150.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1-768x383.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bang-energy-drink-cans-2-1.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Bang Energy Drink Flavors<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Artificial flavors are often vegan-friendly because they are lab-made.
