Functional Beverages

But what exactly are functional beverages?

Whether it’s the hydration value of water or the vitamin C content of pomegranate juice, most drinks have an inherent functionality of some sort.

Functional drinks, however, are beverages with health benefits beyond their nutritional value, positively affecting one or more target functions in the body or mind to achieve an improved state of health and well-being.

Functional drinks often contain ingredients such as fruits and vegetables along with herbs, vitamins or minerals.
