History
From natural coconut water to vitamin-infused energy drinks, functional beverages are one of the most diverse product categories in which any type of consumer can find a product that speaks to their preferences. Considering that most consumable products serve functional roles, beverages that promote a specific benefit (e.g., energy, electrolytes, vitamins, etc.) have existed for almost as long as humans have.
The rise of Energy Drinks like Red Bull and probiotic beverages like Yakult in the 20th century brought about modern functional beverage products. Other creations such as Hydration Beverages, Sports Beverages, and CBD Beverages fall into this category, as they all claim to benefit the body. Flavorman also creates drinkable Dietary Supplements, a category that similarly boasts benefits to your well-being.
