What is the Drinkable Metabolism trend?

Drinkable Metabolism: Brands in the beverage space are offering metabolism-boosting benefits for everyday use, rather than for physical activity-specific purposes alone. These products prioritize both flavor and function, thus catering to a range of consumers rather than only those who prioritize weight-loss or fitness.

Insight

The consumer insight behind the Drinkable Metabolism trend

"Weight loss" branding shifts to general wellness and health as consumers' use of social media has introduced them to the "body positive" movement where general physical health is considered to be more important than being thin. Thus, consumers are no longer seeking out promises of losing weight quickly. Instead, they're turning to foods, beverages, and supplements that offer them health-related benefits that can be sustained long-term. By combining nutritious ingredients with long-term promises rather than quick fixes, brands are able to gain the trust of health-minded customers.
