What is
a functional drink?
A functional drink is a thoughtfully designed beverage with a purpose beyond taste.
It is one of the fastest-growing beverage categories worldwide. More and more people are looking for drinks that offer more than sweetness and bright colours — drinks made with greater care, intention and purpose.
What is Fons Salutis?
Less noise. More flavour.
For those who want something good for themselves.
Fons Salutis is time for yourself.
Every day.
Discover real flavour
Half tart. Twice as happy.
Citrus and fruit
Organic Spanish orange peel gives the drink a smooth citrus character.
Lemon adds freshness and lightness.
Plant-based ingredients
Malt and hops
During brewing, barley malt produces a range of naturally occurring sugars.
We use selected aroma hops to create a fresh aroma and a balanced, enjoyable flavour.
Functional ingredients
Lactic acid bacteria guide the fermentation process.
Prebiotic fibre gives the drink a smoother, more satisfying texture.
Bifidobacteria are the postbiotic component we have chosen for the drink.
Vitamin B2 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Vitamin B3 contributes to normal psychological function.
What does functional brewing mean?
We take things one step further and call our process functional brewing, because it best describes how our drink is actually made.
For us, functional brewing means that this alcohol-free drink is genuinely brewed, rather than simply mixed together.
Fons Salutis is made through a multi-stage process. The result is a drink in its own right, combining brewing, fermentation and biotic ingredients.
During the extended brewing and fermentation process, the drink develops its distinctive flavour, balance and structure.
TIME IS PART OF THE RECIPE.
How is it made?
- mashing
- filtration
- boiling
- cooling down
- fermentation with bacterial cultures
- carbonation
- maturation
- pasteurisation
WE GIVE THE DRINK TIME TO DEVELOP...
Is it alcohol-free?
Fons Salutis is alcohol-free.
We use bacteria instead of yeast during fermentation, which means that no alcohol is produced.
Take a moment for yourself.
Fons Salutis
INITIUM
A new generation of functional drink. Fons Salutis – a quiet revolution in a can.
Genuinely brewed, alcohol-free, with prebiotics and postbiotics.
The stars
of our biotic system
PRE
Prebiotic fibre
PRO
The fermentation PROcess with lactic acid bacteria
POST
Postbiotics
(a recognised and scientifically studied
bifidobacterium)
What role does PREbiotic fibre play?
Ingredient: prebiotic fibre
It forms the foundation of our 3Biotic System.
We use a plant-based fibre with a neutral flavour that dissolves easily in the drink.
Prebiotic fibre serves as a food source for beneficial bacteria living in the body.
The fibre we use is resilient and remains present in the drink even after fermentation and pasteurisation.
This means that PRE is not simply another item on the ingredients list. It is the first part of a carefully designed biotic system.
What happens during the fermentation PROcess?
Cultures used in the process: lactic acid bacteria
For us, PRO refers first and foremost to the process.
This is where the drink comes to life.
During fermentation, lactic acid bacteria are our most important brewers. They break down sugars and help give the drink its distinctive freshness and tartness.
We feed the sugars mainly to the bacteria. Not you.
This is a process of creation in which distinctive flavours and fermentation-derived compounds develop.
Once the bacterial cultures have completed their work, their activity is stopped through heat treatment. This keeps the drink stable and easy to fit into everyday life — no refrigeration is required.
What are POSTbiotics?
Ingredient: an internationally recognised and scientifically studied bifidobacterium, awarded in 2024 and 2025
This is the stable part of our system.
Compounds created during fermentation remain in the drink even after the process has ended.
But we do not leave anything to chance.
In addition to the compounds already created during fermentation, we add a multi-award-winning and scientifically studied postbiotic to our products. It is a specially heat-treated bifidobacterium that remains stable even after pasteurisation.
This means that a high-quality postbiotic is already there in the drink, ready for you.
Our 3Biotic System
Not simply a list of ingredients. A thoughtfully designed drink with a clear structure.
Fons Salutis brings together three elements that are usually considered separately:
- resilient prebiotic fibre
- fermentation with lactic acid bacteria
- selected postbiotics
You no longer need to look for them separately.
Now they are brought together in one drink.
Not a capsule.
Not a powder.
A ready-to-drink, brewed, alcohol-free beverage.
Simple.
Why do we not describe the effects of our drink and its ingredients?
Because we are not allowed to.
At least, not in the way we would like to. The way manufacturers may describe the effects of drinks and their ingredients is strictly regulated.
In the European Union, nutrition and health claims are governed by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
This means that manufacturers may only use specific, pre-approved wording.
Claims relating to prebiotics are highly restricted.
Claims relating to probiotics even more so.
Postbiotics are also a particularly sensitive subject.
Combining all three within a single biotic system and bringing them together in one drink is still largely uncharted territory.
That is why we focus on what we can say honestly and clearly: what the drink contains and how it is made.
Instead, we let the drink speak for itself.
Is there scientific research on these ingredients?
Yes. Quite a lot.
Prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics are not simply a passing trend.
They have been studied by scientists for decades.
ISAPP, the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics, is an independent international scientific organisation that provides a broad range of reliable information about prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. Its resources offer an overview of scientific research into the characteristics and potential effects of these substances.

First impressions
What are people saying?
Fons Salutis does not have to mean the same thing to everyone. Here are a few honest thoughts from people who have already tried it.
For some, it is about the flavour. For others, it is a refreshing start to the morning. Some enjoy it as a moment to themselves. For others, it is simply a calm, alcohol-free alternative. And sometimes, it becomes part of a special occasion.
We are happy to support young companies with promising new product ideas. We believe that both this product and the idea behind it have a well-deserved place in the market. We wish you every success — keep up the good work!

The aroma is very pleasant. Great that it isn’t sweet. The carbonation is nice and fine — I’m not a fan of drinks that are too fizzy or sharp. A pleasant foam. I can taste a nice hint of ginger. It makes me want to have another one and discover the other flavour notes as well.
Katrin, Kuressaare
You know that feeling when a wonderful trip is coming to an end and, during the last few days, you start thinking about home? Your own pillow. Your own bed. Your usual breakfast. And now also Fons Salutis — a functional drink that has become part of my everyday life and that I genuinely enjoy.

Can it take time to get used to Fons Salutis?
For some people, maybe.
Most people, however, do not notice anything unusual.
Fons Salutis is not a conventional soft drink. Its flavour and composition are different, and everyone experiences it in their own way.
Start slowly.
Try a smaller amount first and see how it works for you.
Does the drink contain gluten?
It may contain a certain amount of gluten.
Because we use barley malt during brewing, the drink may not be suitable for people with gluten intolerance.
We are working towards offering a gluten-free product in the future. Until then, we recommend that anyone avoiding gluten consults a healthcare professional if they are unsure whether the drink is suitable for them.
Is Fons Salutis suitable for children?
Fons Salutis was developed primarily as a functional drink for adults and is not intended as a conventional children’s drink.
Should a child wish to try it occasionally, we recommend offering only a small amount and leaving the decision to the parent or guardian.
How should I drink and store it?
Simply.
Fons Salutis is pasteurised, so it does not need to be kept in the refrigerator. Store it at room temperature in a shaded place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
For the best flavour experience, we recommend drinking Fons Salutis at room temperature.This allows its flavour and character to come through at their best.
There is no single right time to drink it. Some people enjoy it in the morning. Others drink it during the working day. For some, it becomes a small evening ritual.
