Wellness company, Savvy, has released a new functional beverage in two fresh flavours, aiming to reduce stress and anxiety while improving focus – Calm Water in Passionfruit and Lemonade.

The company stated the RTD delivers clinically aligned ingredient levels traditionally found in supplements, combining high-dose L-theanine, magnesium, schisandra berry extract and prebiotics, as well as bioavailable B-vitamins and Vitamin C to reduce neurological overstimulation, regulate cortisol, dissolve physical tension and support emotional steadiness.

Savvy founder and functional nutritionist, Mark Curry, said unlike many functional beverages that include only trace amounts of active ingredients for label appeal, Calm Water uses significantly higher active levels – often more than 10 times those seen in typical beverages or powdered calm products.

“Calm Water offers a science-backed solution for everyday stress-relief and focus due to evidence-based supplementation,” said Curry.

“Many calming beverages still work by dulling the nervous system, which can make it harder to function. Calm Water allows people to take the edge off, feel regulated and stay sharp.

“What makes it different is that we use active ingredients at scientifically-proven doses that allow people to genuinely feel clearer, more capable and less tense without being slowed down – it’s literally the feeling of Zen and focused energy in a drink,” he said.

Savvy Calm Water is now available online at savvybeverage.com.au and at selected wellness and grocery retailers nationally.
