Functional Beverage Companies

Crystal-Clear, Stable, High-Performance Nano Ingredients

Turn any drink—from teas to shots—into a premium functional beverage with no haze, no off-flavors, and rapid onset. 

Overview

Functional beverage brands need ingredients that stay perfectly clear, taste neutral, and perform reliably through pasteurization, carbonation, and pH swings. Cielo Cay’s micelle-encapsulated powders and liquids deliver: 

  • Translucent clarity in any formulation—no milky haze 
  • pH-robust stability from pH 3 to 8 
  • Heat- and pressure-tested for pasteurization and hot-fill processes 
  • Rapid bioavailability—effects in as little as 10 minutes 

Use our stock powders or made to order emulsions for instant blending or custom liquids for your signature shots and tonics.
