Relaxation Drinks

Relaxation beverages require balancing ingredient stability, flavor masking for bitter compounds like valerian root and GABA, dosage precision, and differentiation in a crowded category. Successfully navigating these challenges requires the formulation expertise and commercialization expertise that BevSource has built over 20-plus years.

Our Relaxation Beverage Formulation and Development Services

BevSource helps beverage brands formulate, develop, optimize, produce and source relaxation beverages, including:

Functional Relaxation Beverage Formulation

Formulation expertise is a scientific skill that takes in-house teams time and money to develop. BevSource does it for you with relaxation and sleep support beverage formulation services. We have extensive experience formulating with common functional ingredients like:

• Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
• L-theanine
• Valerian root
• Magnesium
• Kava root

Calming Beverage Co-Packer Identification

Identifying and evaluating co-packers can be a significant barrier for emerging beverage brands. Confirming capabilities, capacity, minimum order quantities, and commercial terms takes time and can delay getting your beverage from concept to market. BevSource has built the largest co-packer network in North America and helps you find the right manufacturing partner for your product requirements, production volume, budget, and timeline.

Beverage Ingredient Sourcing and Procurement

A reliable supplier is nonnegotiable when you're launching or scaling a beverage brand. Researching and vetting suppliers and negotiating pricing takes time. We've done the work for you, building and maintaining long-term relationships with suppliers worldwide, even for hard-to-find ingredients. With our sourcing and procurement services, you benefit from our purchasing power, quality standards, and qualified supplier network, turning your supply chain into an asset instead of a limitation.
