Behind the Science: Mrs. Toddy’s Tonic x ACU Research

At Mrs. Toddy’s Tonic, we’ve always believed that the future of wellness drinks should be real, transparent, and backed by science. That’s why we’re proud to share our latest milestone: our sparkling adaptogenic tonics are now part of a clinical research partnership with Australian Catholic University (ACU) — co-funded by Investment NSW, part of the NSW Government’s innovation program.

What the research is about

The ACU research team, globally recognised for their work in exercise science and nutrition, is studying how our beverages may support metabolic health, with a focus on post-meal blood sugar response. This is one of the most important frontiers in functional beverages today — and we’re putting our products to the test under rigorous, controlled conditions.

Why science matters in functional beverages

While many so-called wellness drinks rely on trendy ingredients or clever branding, we’ve built Mrs. Toddy’s Tonic differently. Our range is produced using a patent-pending process that keeps the botanicals intact, without pasteurisation, making our drinks fresh, functional, and shelf-stable.

This commitment to innovation and validation sets us apart:

  • ✅ Co-funded by NSW Government (Investment NSW)

  • ✅ Partnered with Australian Catholic University (ACU)

  • ✅ Backed by ongoing clinical trials into blood sugar regulation

Beyond the lab — what this means for you

Our mission has always been to create products that fit effortlessly into your everyday life. By working with ACU and the NSW Government, we’re not just making another functional drink, we’re helping define the next wave of science-backed, natural wellness beverages.

We’ll continue to share updates as results emerge. For now, we’re excited that every sip of Mrs. Toddy’s Tonic represents more than refreshment — it’s part of a bigger commitment to health, innovation, and sustainability.
