Turmeric Innovations has launched its Turmeric Fusions™ line of beverages. This collection of 19 carbonated drinks leverages the company's patented BioPhenol99™ soluble turmeric technology and advanced prebiotics to deliver what the brand describes as unmatched health benefits in a flavorful, low-sugar format.
The Turmeric Fusions™ formulations incorporate significant amounts of real fruit, with some varieties containing as much as 35% fruit content, which the company claims is among the highest in the carbonated beverage industry, while chicory root fiber provides prebiotic function to support gut health by nourishing the microbiome. The brand has also developed a proprietary no-aftertaste Stevia Leaf Extract, addressing a common consumer complaint about alternative sweeteners and allowing for reduced sugar content without sacrificing palatability across the diverse flavor lineup.
