Does Bai Antioxidant Infusion Drinks Have Caffeine?

Hydration is everything! However, water can be boring, especially since we must drink eight glasses daily.

So, instead of just drinking plain water, I sometimes drink Bai Antioxidant Infusion to mix things up.

However, I’ve heard some rumors that this drink has caffeine. As someone with caffeine sensitivity, I need to know just how much. Does Bai have caffeine?

Unfortunately for us caffeine-sensitive people, Bai does have caffeine.

Yes, I know it's disappointing since this drink is irresistible and comes in different flavors that definitely make you want more than one.

I usually get the jitters when I drink Bai with coffee or tea. I didn't know it contained caffeine or it was an energy drink-I just blamed the coffee or tea.

However, it's not enough to simply know that it has caffeine. It's also important to know how much caffeine this drink has.

Here are the caffeine levels of the most popular variants of Bai drink:

1. Caffeine In Bai Antioxidant Infusions

If you enjoy the classic Bai Antioxidant Infusion drinks, you get about 55 mg of caffeine per 18 fl. oz. This is equivalent to a cup of green tea.[1]

So, if you need a caffeine boost, you need to choose between a bottle of Bai energy drink or green tea to avoid caffeine overload.

2. Caffeine In Bai Cocofusions

For coconut lovers who prefer Bai Cocofusions over Bai Antioxidant Infusion drinks, you’re consuming 55 mg of caffeine per 18 fl. oz bottle.

I recommend this drink for hot summer days when you want something refreshing but need a quick energy boost.

3. Caffeine In Bai Boost

If you’re looking for a Bai Antioxidant Infusion with higher caffeine levels, Bai Boost is for you.

This Bai water contains 110 mg of caffeine per 18 fl. oz bottle, almost the same amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee.

This is perfect for those who don't like the strong taste of coffee but need a caffeine boost in the morning.

Because of the high levels of caffeine, I find this my pick-me-up beverage, especially when my body feels tired, and I need to finish a huge task.

4. Caffeine In Bai Lemonade

Are you a lemonade fan? If so, Bai Lemonade energy drink is the Bai Antioxidant Infusion drink for you. However, this beverage isn't your typical lemonade.

Not only that it's packed with 55 mg of caffeine per bottle of 18 fl. oz, but it also has a variety of refreshing flavors to choose from.

5. Caffeine In Bai Supertea

If you're a tea enthusiast, a bottle of Bai Supertea will give you 55 mg of caffeine per serving of 18 fl. oz.

Since it has the same amount of caffeine as a cup of green tea, this is an excellent alternative if you’re bored with your usual tea.

What Exactly Are Bai Antioxidant Drinks? (Healthy Or Not?)

New to the party? Here's a quick overview of Bai Antioxidant Infusion beverages and why it's one of the most popular energy and antioxidant drinks.

Brief History

The Bai brand may be relatively new to the market compared to other soda and energy drink brands, but it doesn't mean it's not ready to compete.

It came to life in 2009 in New Jersey and was welcomed by the Keurig Dr. Pepper family in 2016.

These juice drinks are generally considered safe, low-calorie, and antioxidant-infused; no wonder they have become such a hit since. On top of that, their bottles are BPA-free!

They used to offer Bai Bubbles, sparkling versions of Bai Antioxidant Infusions. However, Bai Bubbles were discontinued, much to my disappointment.

Taste

If you haven’t tasted these beverages, you’re missing out! With a wide range of flavors, there’s something for everyone. For berry lovers, I recommend the Bai Brasilia Blueberry.

However, if you want a more tropical flavor, the Madagascar Coconut Mango will suit your taste buds.

Fun fact: Do you know that Bai’s flavor names are named after coffee-growing regions around the world?

Health Benefits Of Bai Antioxidant Drinks

Apart from getting an energy boost and loads of antioxidants, what else can you get from these super delicious juice drinks?

Bai is made from coffee fruit and white tea extract, which contains different types of antioxidants, including chlorogenic acid.

This antioxidant is known to have anti-diabetic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity impacts.[2]

On top of that, coffee fruit can protect your brain from various diseases like Alzheimer’s.[3]

Coffee fruit also raises your brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, which can improve cognitive function.[4]

However, unlike other beverages with caffeine, like coffee and tea, it is already sweetened and contains artificial sweeteners.

Although it doesn't contain sugar, consuming high amounts of Bai can still lead to health problems because of its caffeine content.


Comparing Caffeine In Bai Vs Other Popular Drinks

So how do Bai drinks compare with other caffeinated beverages? Here’s how much caffeine you’ll get in other sweetened drinks:

Bai Vs Caffeinated Sparkling Water

Bai Antioxidant Infusion has moderate amounts of caffeine.

Compared to popular brands of sparkling water, like Perrier Energize (99 mg) and Bubbl’r (69 mg), most variants of Bai drinks have lower caffeine.

However, the Bai Boost line has one of the highest caffeine content.

Bai Vs Other Caffeinated Juices

Bai drinks caffeine content isn’t the highest compared to its caffeinated juices competition, and that’s okay.

Popular brands like Juice Master (160 mg) and Frava (200 mg) contain high amounts of caffeine that even Bai Boost’s (120 mg) caffeine content can’t even compete with.
