Why Mrs Toddy’s Tonic Is Different

At the heart of Mrs Toddy’s Tonic is a proprietary, patent-pending process that sets our functional beverages apart. Unlike conventional sodas or heat-pasteurised drinks, our tonics are crafted to preserve the integrity and activity of botanicals, keeping them as close to their natural state as possible.

Our approach means every bottle is designed to deliver function, flavour, and freshness without compromise.

Not pasteurised – formulated to help preserve botanical integrity
Real ingredients – no preservatives, extracts, or artificial additives
Clinically studied – moving beyond wellness trends into research-backed functional tonics

The Research Journey

Mrs Toddy’s Tonic is currently part of a landmark clinical study led by Professor Leonidas Karagounis at Australian Catholic University’s Mary MacKillop Institute for Health Research. This represents a significant step forward for the functional beverage category.

The clinical research is evaluating physiological responses following consumption of Mrs Toddy’s adaptogenic tonics, with a focus on post-meal metabolic markers, including blood glucose and insulin response.

The trial is exploring whether our plant-based adaptogenic tonics may support:

Post-meal blood sugar balance
Metabolic health as part of a balanced lifestyle
A natural functional beverage option alongside conventional wellness choices
Individuals seeking everyday metabolic wellbeing support

“Our aim is to rigorously assess whether a natural, plant-based tonic can support post-meal blood sugar responses in individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.”
— Professor Leonidas Karagounis, Australian Catholic University

Our Commitment to Validation

From day one, we have believed that science and nature work best together. Our patent-pending formulation process was developed to preserve the functional qualities of adaptogens and botanicals including ginseng, ginkgo, tulsi, turmeric, ginger, galangal, and lemongrass.

This formulation is now being evaluated through human clinical trials — a first for many products in the functional beverage and adaptogenic soda space. The research reflects our commitment to transparency, evidence-based formulation, and long-term credibility.

This positions Mrs Toddy’s Tonic as:

A clinically studied functional tonic
A sparkling adaptogenic beverage designed to support metabolic wellbeing
A pioneer in functional beverages undergoing human clinical evaluation

The Future of Wellness Drinks

Our collaboration with Australian Catholic University marks the beginning of a new era for functional drinks, where plant-based wellness beverages are supported by rigorous clinical research rather than trends alone.

We are proud to be at the forefront of the functional soda movement, demonstrating that a botanical, plant-based beverage can be both refreshing and scientifically studied.

Mrs Toddy’s Tonic is not just another wellness drink.
It is a next-generation functional beverage designed with the future of metabolic wellbeing in mind.
