Fount drinks offers botanical hydration for the spa and wellness market Fount Drinks has introduced a range of botanical and vitamin-enriched concentrates that can be added to water to boost hydration and health. The blends of fruit, botanical ingredients, vitamins, minerals and amino acids are made in the UK with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners, flavours, colours or preservatives. The concentrates are carefully formulated by expert nutritionists and herbalists to address particular wellness concerns: Refresh & Revitalise contains raspberry and green tea; Cleanse & Detox includes ginger and lemon; Stress Relief combines apple and elderflower; and Heart Health includes red berries and hibiscus. “The opportunity for integration into a spa menu or for retail is huge. Fount can be a personalised beverage offer suitable for the clients’ needs,” says spa consultant and founder of SHC, Shelley Hepburn. Each 50ml bottle of Fount provides 25 servings and to create a spa-ready drink, just add 2ml of the preferred Fount to a 250ml glass of water. “It comes in cute recyclable glass bottle and is a concentrate, so its environmentally friendly. The four-pack is presented in its own little display box,” adds Hepburn. www.fountdrinks.com
