If 2016 was the \u2018Year of Gin\u2019, 2017 will be the \u2018Year of Botanicals\u2019. Driven by a demand for new and diverse flavour profiles, ingredients like charcoal, turmeric and sea greens are entering the mainstream as a cultural shift emerges – in which botanicals are playing a starring role.<\/p>\n

Drawing on insights from their 2016 Taste Mode report, food and drink trend forecasters Pearlfisher Futures predict that \u201cBotanicals will be ripe for innovation and exploration in 2017 as we find new ways to provide naturally active benefits by combining new flavours, textures and combinations of exciting and maybe undiscovered botanical sources.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the forefront of this new wave is Botanic Lab, an innovative healthy drinks company whose intricate knowledge of natural ingredients coupled with complex flavour blends and the use of hyper-functional ingredients sets them apart. For example – they know that turmeric\u2019s benefits are only truly unlocked by the body when it\u2019s combined with piperine. That\u2019s the reason their complex Tonic 2 recipe comprises 14 ingredients including raw turmeric root and long pepper.<\/p>\n

\u201cLess froth, more function\u201d is the Botanic Lab creed. Founded in 2014 by Rebekah Hall and Christophe Reissfelder, Botanic Lab is rewriting the rulebook on superfoods, meticulously calculating optimum formulas based on ingredients\u2019 functional potential and flavour profiles.<\/p>\n

Each drink features a \u2018hero\u2019 ingredient (or several) selected for its powerful health-giving properties and gathered from the highest quality sources around the world. These are combined in innovative and intricate blends, resulting in a drink that you simply couldn\u2019t make at home.<\/p>\n

Rebekah Hall, CEO and co-founder of Botanic Lab, says: \u201cMore people are turning to powerful ingredients in easily accessible, on-the-go formats that actually make a difference. Our Organic drinks are nutrient-dense, hyper-functioning and easy additions to a usual healthy routine. We make the drinks that you can\u2019t make at home with a Nutri Bullet\u201d.<\/p>\n

Here are the ingredients Botanic Lab has tipped to pave the way for the bloom of botanicals in 2017:<\/p>\n

Schisandra<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also known as the \u201cFive Flavoured Fruit\u201d, Schisandra is considered a Harmonizing Tonic or \u201cKing\u201d remedy in Chinese Medicine because of its well balanced energetic nature.<\/p>\n

Schisandra berries function more like an herb than a berry. They are much more potent than a traditional \u201csuper berry\u2019, with myriad benefits including liver support, enhanced brain function and improved skin quality.<\/p>\n

Panax ginseng<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Native to the Northern mountainous regions of Korea, China, Panax Ginseng is the ultimate \u201ctonic\u201d herb used for nutritive, restorative and long-term purposes. This herb is best known to help support normal immune function and to revitalize energy levels.<\/p>\n

Ashwagandha<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Adaptogens support the ability of an organism to cope with stress and thereby conserve energy. Regarded as a powerful adaptogenic agent, Ashwagangha functions to enhance the body\u2019s natural resistance and adaptation to stressful influences whilst rejuvenating the entire system.<\/p>\n

Botanic Lab drinks are available to purchase from botanic-lab.co.uk and Botanic Lab stockists, which include Harrods, Waitrose, Wholefoods, Ocado and many more.<\/p>\n
