These functional, [zero-sugar, zero-calorie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydration-soda) [sparkling water products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sekwl) are formulated to quell stress and anxiety with purposeful, calming ingredients like chamomile, lemon balm and L-theanine. Joining supremely refreshing varieties like Raspberry for gut health and relaxing Grapefruit Rosemary is Pineapple Coconut, the newest flavor to join the Crunchy Hydration lineup. With a name like Crunchy Hydration, the brand might seem at odds with the smooth, crisp qualities people typically associate with refreshment, but that contrast is exactly what makes it intriguing. On-pack, the Crunchy Hydration calls this out with text that says "silly name, serious hydration." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.7/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 50% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Functional Hydration:** Beverages that combine hydration with functional benefits are capturing consumer interest by addressing wellness needs such as stress relief and mood enhancement. - **Zero-sugar Formulations:** The demand for zero-sugar drinks is rising as health-conscious consumers seek beverages that offer taste and health benefits without compromising on calories. - **Calming Ingredients:** Incorporating calming ingredients like chamomile and L-theanine into beverages is meeting a growing need for natural stress alleviation aids. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage:** The beverage industry is evolving with innovations in functional drinks that cater to wellness-focused consumers seeking not only hydration but also stress and mood management. - **Health and Wellness:** Health and wellness sectors are expanding with products like multi-benefit hydrating drinks that offer mental health support through natural ingredients. - **Natural Supplements:** The natural supplements industry is diversifying its offerings through collaborations with beverage manufacturers to infuse drinks with functional botanicals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hydrating Sparkling Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recoup-beverage.md) - [Crave-Curbing Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slacka.md) - [Caffeinated Functional Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heywell-x-foxtrot.md) - [Mood-Enhancing Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recess-mood.md) - [High-Dose Relaxation Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/launched-calm-water.md) - [Mood-Boosting Sparkling Water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baloo.md) - [Hydrating Digestive Support Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happi-hydration.md) - [Calming Botanical Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botanical-waters.md) - [Emotional Utility Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotional-utility-beverage.md)
