While many people have ginger ale to settle their stomachs, the vast majority of these beverages are basically just sugar water with some ginger flavoring (giving you none of the benefits). Founder Miles Gotcher created Soov after working on a home remedy for his lifelong stomach issues from [IBS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodmarble-programme). Gotcher commented on the inspiration behind the launch, stating: "Whenever my stomach was feeling off, my go-to was two ginger ales and some plain rice or bread. When I found out that my favorite ginger ales only had traces of ginger along with up to 50 grams of sugar, I set out to make a healthier alternative along with other ingredients that helped my stomach like chamomile and mint." After a few years of development and teaming up with food scientists, functional nutritionists, and beverage experts Soov was made.
