Super Soda: Packed with potent superfoods

At Yugen, we don't add ingredients for marketing value alone. Each superfood is chosen for its nutritional profile, traditional use and compatibility with our fermented botanical base.

We combine: a fermented base, one fruit juice, four complementary herbs and one targeted superfood.

Below are the superfoods currently featured in our range.

Matcha,
added to the Apple Matcha Super Soda

Botanical name: Camellia sinensis

Matcha is finely ground green tea powder traditionally used in Japanese cuisine. Unlike infused tea, matcha uses the whole leaf, providing a concentrated source of naturally occurring compounds.

Matcha contains:

  • Natural caffeine
  • L-theanine
  • Antioxidant catechins


In Super Soda, matcha adds a light, earthy bitterness and a more balanced energy lift, giving the drink extra flavour complexity and purpose.

acerola,
Added to the Passion fruit Rose Super Soda

Botanical name: Malpighia emarginata

Acerola is a tropical fruit rich in vitamin C.

It is widely recognised for its:

  • Natural vitamin C content
  • Bright, tart flavour
  • Antioxidants


In Super Soda, acerola adds a bright, refreshing acidity and supports the product’s wellness positioning where regulations allow.

Lion’s mane,
Added to the Ginger Lime Super Soda

Botanical name: Hericium erinaceus

Lion’s Mane is a functional mushroom traditionally used in East Asian practices. It's increasingly studied for its potential cognitive-supporting properties.

Lion’s Mane is valued for its:

  • Bioactive compounds such as hericenones and erinacines
  • Association with focus and mental clarity
  • Mild, neutral flavour profile


In Super Soda, Lion’s Mane supports a modern cognitive wellness positioning without affecting the drink’s clean, refreshing flavour.
