Mood-Boosting Sodas

Rowdy Mermaid's Good Mood Soda Contains Beneficial Botanicals

— March 7, 2023 — Lifestyle
Modern functional beverage company Rowdy Mermaid is introducing Good Mood Sodas, which put a twist on the classic soda experience with feel-good ingredients. Available in varieties like Orange, Lemon Lime, Grape and Cola, these better-for-you functional beverages are made with fruits, herbs and botanicals.

In these canned beverages, the brand uses full-spectrum ashwagandha root extract that's sustainably sourced and GRAS-certified. As the demand for better-for-you sodas rises, more companies are introducing products with natural sweeteners and other healthy ingredients that appeal to health-conscious consumers.

Ingredient-conscious consumers are increasingly interested in better-for-you sodas that contain fewer calories and less sugar than traditional sodas. These healthier drinks are a popular alternative for those looking for a refreshing beverage without the risks associated with sugary drinks. In fact, Good Mood Soda's cans of Cola boast just five grams of sugar.
