Functional Beverages for Nutrition Product Lines

A step beyond functional foods, functional beverages are drinks that are made specifically to enhance health. This range of products includes enhanced waters, sports drinks, and other ready-to-drink beverages designed with the intention of improving health and well-being.

Once less common, functional beverages are fast becoming a part of mainstream culture, with many larger corporations cashing in on their popularity. The most visible of functional beverages has long been sports drinks, which were designed with athletes in mind. These functional beverages contain water, electrolytes, and other ingredients to restore the body’s balance during intense exercise. However, sports drinks have expanded beyond the realm of functional beverages into being a beverage to enjoy anytime. Other types of functional beverages include soy-based drinks, enhanced fruit beverages, and the extremely popular energy drinks.
