Format Specification
UHT is the single largest objection in this category - and BIOVIT’s the only natural supplier with a 12-month UHT shelf life live in market. Full processing, stability, and supply data below. For a tailored stability profile or overage calculation, get in touch with the team.
Natural ingredients built for the beverage category
The three most-specified BIOVIT ingredients for sparkling drinks - chosen for thermal stability, taste-neutrality at low pH, and clean-label declarations that read as fruit, mushroom, and lichen on pack.
Vitamin D (lichen)
Lichen-derived D3 holds up through UHT with calculated overage. Heat-stable through thermal processing.
Vitamin C (acerola or amla)
Water-soluble, taste-neutral. Retains fruit provenance on pack as "acerola cherry extract" or "amla extract."
Vitamin B12 (shiitake)
Heat-stable and pH-tolerant. Clean declaration as "shiitake mushroom extract."
Formulation-ready premixes for the drinks aisle
Pre-balanced blends that unlock immunity, energy, and broad-spectrum wellness claims in a single inclusion - cutting reformulation time and locking in the EFSA claim profile your category needs to compete.
Immunity Premix
D, C, and B12 in a single formulation built around the immune-system claim cluster. Three EFSA-authorised immunity claims plus collagen, energy, and oxidative-stress support - the strongest claim density per gram in the carbonated category. UHT-stable with calculated overages, fully soluble in the syrup or base stage, and declared as three clean botanical sources on pack. The default specification for sparkling functional drinks positioned around wellness, prevention, and seasonal immunity.
Energy Premix
B12 and Iron paired to unlock the full energy and fatigue claim suite - normal energy-yielding metabolism, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and normal oxygen transport in the body. Shiitake B12 is heat-stable and pH-tolerant through UHT; curry leaf Iron is taste-neutral at low pH, with none of the metallic off-notes that synthetic ferrous sulphate brings to acidic formats. The go-to specification for energy drinks, performance RTDs, and morning-positioned sparkling beverages where the energy claim is the commercial pull.
Daily Support Premix
A broad multivitamin base covering eight key nutrients in a single inclusion - built for all-purpose wellness, hydration, and lifestyle drinks where the brand is selling daily-use functionality rather than a single benefit. The lowest inclusion cost per claim in the BIOVIT portfolio, with the widest EFSA claim set across immunity, energy, cognitive function, and bone health. The default specification for brands building a sparkling-water range or a clean-label challenger to mainstream multivitamin drinks.

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers to the questions buyers and formulators ask most when specifying natural fortification for carbonated beverages - processing, claims, declaration, and lead times.
Yes. Acerola and amla Vitamin C, lichen D3, shiitake B12, and all BIOVIT minerals are fully compatible with CO₂-carbonated beverages. Carbonation itself does not cause nutrient degradation - the stability questions in this format relate to thermal processing (UHT or hot-fill) and shelf-life targets, both of which BIOVIT covers through stability data and bespoke overage calculations.
BIOVIT has comprehensive UHT stability data established through partnerships with RSSL and Eurofins. Cheerful Buddha's UHT sparkling drinks are fortified with BIOVIT D3, B12, and Iron and achieve a 12-month shelf life with calculated overages.
The most commonly specified single ingredients are lichen D3, shiitake B12, curry leaf Iron, and acerola or amla Vitamin C - all stable through UHT with overages. The Immunity, Energy, and Daily Support premix blends are formulation-ready for sparkling drink applications.
Eiméar Sutton RNutr MSc builds bespoke overage calculations based on your processing profile, pack format, fill temperature, light exposure, and target shelf life - ensuring label-claim compliance at end of shelf life, not just at day of manufacture.
Yes, provided your product contains the required nutrient levels per EFSA regulations. Eiméar advises on claim eligibility for every formulation and provides full UK and EU market compliance guidance. Cheerful Buddha carries 25 approved health benefit claims on can across energy, focus, and immunity positioning.
Single ingredients: 1 kg MOQ with an approximate 1-week lead time. Premix blends: 5 kg MOQ with an approximate 4-week lead time. Samples are available on request.
Yes - reformulation is one of the most common starting points for beverage clients. The Consultancy Service handles synthetic-to-natural substitution end-to-end, including ingredient declaration updates, label-claim compliance, and overage recalculations.
Reformulation support is included
Every BIOVIT wholesale order comes with full technical reformulation support at no extra cost, giving your NPD and technical teams direct access to a qualified nutritionist from brief to production.
Eiméar Sutton (RNutr MSc), our Head of Nutrition, leads the technical work on every account: equivalence mapping against your incumbent synthetic, inclusion-rate modelling, on-pack claim wording aligned to GB and EU regulation, and the small details that decide whether a synthetic-to-natural switch lands cleanly on the production line.
The result: shorter development cycles, fewer reformulation rounds, and a finished product your commercial team can stand behind.
