Indigestible Dextrin as a Fiber
Indigestible dextrin is a type of starch that is used as dietary fiber. It helps in preventing a rapid spike in blood sugar levels and has been recognized for its effects as a functional food ingredient (Tokuho). Although not commonly associated with energy drinks, it can be found in some products.
Effects of Indigestible Dextrin
- Prevents a rapid rise in blood sugar levels
- Improves intestinal health
- Reduces visceral fat
- Delays fat absorption
Indigestible dextrin is also known in its powdered form as inulin and is often used to suppress blood sugar rises after meals. It is tasteless and odorless, so it is commonly mixed into coffee or miso soup. It is primarily used for weight management purposes.
As it is an ingredient in Tokuho (approved health claims) products, it has notable health benefits, particularly in controlling sugar absorption and blood sugar spikes.
According to the FDA in the United States, there is no established upper limit for daily intake of indigestible dextrin, indicating that it is very safe. Its safety profile is highly regarded.

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.
Since 2001, Energy Drink Maniac has been drinking energy drinks and providing the most detailed reviews of global energy drinks based on firsthand research.
