The benefits of functional water: a health ally to discover

by Guillaume ZARKA May 30, 2023

Functional waters are a new trend in the field of nutrition. Combining hydration and nutrition, these “smart” waters offer significant benefits for your health and well-being. But what makes these waters so special and how can they contribute to a healthier life? This is what we will explore in this article.

What is functional water?

Functional water is a drink that goes beyond simple hydration. Enriched with minerals, vitamins, amino acids and sometimes even plant or fruit extracts, it has been designed to provide specific benefits to your body. At Drink-Waters we are proud to offer a range of functional waters specially designed to support your wellbeing.

Improved hydration

Hydration is essential for the proper function of our body. Functional waters can provide superior hydration thanks to the electrolytes they contain. A study conducted by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrated that drinks containing electrolytes and carbohydrates can help maintain better hydration than water alone during exercise (Source: Maughan RJ, et al. A randomized trial to assess the potential of different beverages to affect hydration status: development of a beverage hydration index. Am J Clin Nutr. 2016).

Intake of essential nutrients

Our functional waters are enriched with essential vitamins and minerals. For example, one of our waters is rich in vitamin C, known to support the immune system. According to a study published in the journal "Nutrients", vitamin C is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system and can help prevent infections (Source: Carr AC, Maggini S. Vitamin C and Immune Function. Nutrients. 2017).

Natural energy

Some of our functional waters contain amino acids like taurine, which can help improve physical and mental performance. A study from "Amino Acids" showed that taurine supplementation can improve physical performance and recovery after exercise (Source: Balshaw TG, et al. The effect of acute taurine ingestion on 3-km running performance in trained middle -distance runners. Amino Acids. 2013).

Functional waters represent an innovative way to do yourself good while quenching your thirst. At Drink-Waters, we are passionate about the potential of these drinks to improve everyone's well-being.
