Our Science

Science Begins With Mrs Toddy’s Tonic

Why Mrs Toddy’s Tonic Is Different

At the heart of our range is a proprietary method that sets us apart from other beverages.

  • Not pasteurised → active botanicals stay effective

  • Real ingredients → no preservatives, extracts, or artificial additives

  • Clinically tested → moving from wellness trends into research-backed wellness

The Research Journey

Mrs Toddy’s Tonic is now part of a landmark study led by Professor Leonidas Karagounis at ACU’s Mary MacKillop Institute for Health Research, partially funded by the NSW Government’s Tech Voucher Scheme.

The trial is evaluating:

How our tonics influence post-meal blood sugar levels

Their potential role in supporting metabolic balance

Whether they can serve as a plant-based alternative to conventional health beverages

“Our aim is to rigorously assess whether a natural, plant-based tonic can effectively reduce post-meal blood sugar levels in individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.”
Professor Leonidas Karagounis, ACU

Our Commitment to Validation

From the start, we’ve believed that nature and science work best together. Our patent-pending process was developed to retain the natural efficacy of botanicals, and now it’s being put to the test with one of Australia’s leading universities.

This is the first time a formulation like ours has been clinically studied in humans, making Mrs Toddy’s Tonic a true pioneer in functional wellness.

The Future of Wellness Drinks

This partnership between Mrs Toddy’s Tonic and ACU is more than a study—it’s the beginning of a new era where plant-based beverages are both natural and scientifically validated.

We’re proud to be leading the way toward a future where everyday wellness is supported by research, not just trends.
