Backed by Science
Functional drinks only matter if the science holds up. Our formulations are built around established nutritional roles approved in the UK/EU - no hype, no unverified promises.
Our Scientific Philosophy
Consumers deserve more than marketing buzzwords. At Aptyv, our starting point has always been evidence-based nutrition - vitamins, minerals and botanicals that serve defined physiological roles.
Everything we make is:
✔ Built on authorised nutritional science
✔ Compliant with UK/EU nutrition claims regulation
✔ Designed for everyday use within a balanced diet
✔ Free from unnecessary sugar or artificial colours
Not designed to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.
Just clean, functional support for real daily life.
Nutritional Science Framework
Under Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, nutritional function claims must be:
✔ Scientifically substantiated
✔ Authorised at EU level
✔ Used exactly as approved
✔ Not linked to disease outcomes
This is the standard we follow when formulating and explaining our drinks.
So when we say a vitamin or mineral “contributes to normal…” a specific function, that wording is directly aligned with the authorised claim list.
Key Nutrients With Authorised Roles
This is the scientific backbone of Aptyv.
Below are the nutrients we use and their authorised physiological functions.
B-Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12)
B-Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12)
Authorised roles include contributions to:
- normal energy-yielding metabolism
- normal functioning of the nervous system
- normal psychological function (B3)
- normal mental performance (B5)
- normal red blood cell formation (B6, B9, B12)
- reduction of tiredness and fatigue (B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12)
These functions are central to daily cognitive and physical performance.
Magnesium
Magnesium
Authorised roles include contributions to:
- electrolyte balance
- normal psychological function
- normal muscle function
Electrolyte balance + muscle function = central to hydration and activity.
Potassium (Refresh only)
Potassium (Refresh only)
Authorised roles include:
- maintenance of normal blood pressure
- normal muscle function
This makes potassium useful in hydration and everyday physical function.
Zinc (Enliven only)
Zinc (Enliven only)
Authorised roles include:
- normal cognitive function
This is why zinc appears in cognitive support formulas.
Vitamin C (from Acerola)
Vitamin C (from Acerola)
Authorised roles include:
- normal immune function
Vitamin C is also involved in normal collagen formation and antioxidant protection.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3
Authorised roles include:
- normal immune function
- maintenance of normal muscle function
A widely researched nutrient with year-round relevance in northern latitudes.
Botanical Extracts & Cognitive Interest
In addition to vitamins and minerals, Aptyv incorporates select botanicals such as Lion’s Mane, Green Tea, Gotu Kola, Moringa and Guarana. These are well-studied in nutritional and botanical literature for cognitive or physiological interest.
Important compliance note:Botanical ingredients do not carry authorised EU health claims. We include them for informational context to help customers understand our formulation philosophy, not to present unauthorised medicinal claims.
