LARQ made a name for itself with a self-cleaning water bottle that neutralizes up to 99.9999% of harmful, odor-causing bacteria with UV-C light, and now, LARQ cūva is launching to enhance the liquid itself. This liquid water enhancer dispenses flavor and electrolytes or vitamins directly into water with a single press—a system that works alongside the brand's new double-wall insulated LARQ Flavor Bottle, but doesn't require it.
Now, in addition to enjoying clean, purified water, LARQ customers benefit from functional cūva flavors like Watermelon Mint (vitamins), Peach Ginger (energy), and Lemon Cucumber (electrolytes) that are zero-calorie, zero-sugar, naturally sweetened with stevia, and free from artificial colors. According to LARQ, each pod replaces up to 12 bottles of off-the-shelf beverages, and thanks to press-button dispensing, drinkers can add more or less according to taste.
