Functional beverages are one of the most exciting categories in wellness, and one of the most technical to get right. Palmyra Nutra works with brands as a functional beverage manufacturer and co-packing partner, helping turn a drink concept into a finished, shelf-ready product with formulation, flavor development and production support.
Liquids are less forgiving than capsules or gummies. Ingredients must stay dissolved or evenly dispersed, flavors must hold up over shelf life, and the finished drink has to taste good cold, warm or straight from the can. Oil-based ingredients are especially challenging. Our PhytoNano water-soluble delivery approach is designed to help oil-soluble actives disperse in water-based drinks, supporting a clearer appearance and more consistent dosing.
We start with your target customer, functional ingredients, flavor direction, calorie and sweetener goals and preferred package, such as cans, bottles or shots.
The formula is developed for stability, taste and mouthfeel, with attention to how actives behave in liquid over time.
Different beverages need different processing to stay safe and shelf-stable. The right process depends on the formula, pH and package, and is chosen with you during development.
Once the formula is approved, production is scheduled and finished drinks are filled, sealed, labeled and packed for distribution.
Many beverage founders want to test a concept before committing to a large run. We can talk through realistic options for a first production, and how to scale once the product proves itself. If you want a lower-risk entry into the same category, a drink mix in stick packs or a powder format can let you launch a functional formula with simpler logistics.
Beverage projects are produced with GMP-compliant manufacturing in the USA, with documented ingredients and finished product testing appropriate to the formula. Labels should be reviewed for the correct regulatory category, whether the drink is sold as a supplement or a conventional beverage. Learn more on our quality and testing page.
Beverage projects are quoted individually, because formula, process and packaging all affect minimums and pricing.
