The functional tonics were originally sweetened with a combination of maple syrup, monk fruit and erythritol but this has been updated so that the six-gram sugar content per bottle could be reduced down to zero. The refreshed formulas have no maple syrup yet still feature a blend of the alternative sweeteners monk fruit and erythritol. Appealing to a wide range of consumers, including those who follow plant-based, paleo, keto or sugar-restricted diets, the functional, sugar-free tonics are available in varieties like Hawaiian Ginger, Green Minerals and Mint Condition.
