Goldthread recently reformulated its entire line of plant-based tonics so that they now have zero sugar, all while maintaining the same great taste that customers have come to know, love and expect from the brand. 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.
