This makes the caffeine in the ingredient of Irn-Bru energy drink vegan-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sugar from the regular version and the two artificial sweeteners (Aspartame and Ace-K) are also considered safe for vegans to consume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sugar in Irn-Bru isn&rsquo;t specified, but credible websites indicate Irn-Bru is 100% safe for vegans and vegetarians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taurine is also an ingredient that&rsquo;s vegan-friendly which is typically added in energy drinks. Taurine generally is found in animals, but the taurine added in energy drinks are synthesized.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if the Irn-Bru energy drink is vegan, it&rsquo;s still not healthy to consume too much. Irn-Bru energy drinks will become harmful to your health if you don&rsquo;t drink energy drinks moderately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your reason for drinking an Irn-Bru energy drink is just to get energy, there are other options. For example, drinking a lot of water and exercising can give you power.
