Welsh drinks producer Radnor Hills is set to expand its portfolio with the launch of Radnor+, a new range of functional spring waters featuring added nutrients and ingredients targeting different consumer needs.

Launching in January 2027, the range combines the company’s naturally filtered Welsh spring water with functional ingredients, including magnesium, electrolytes, B vitamins, caffeine and fibre.

Radnor+ will comprise five products: Alkaline Water, Recover, Energise, Focus and Glow. Each will be available in a 660ml bottle, with four flavoured varieties positioned around different consumption occasions.

Alkaline Water, the range’s hero product, has a pH of 9.5 and contains added magnesium. Recover combines clementine and bergamot flavours with magnesium, electrolytes, sea salt, B vitamins and fibre, while Energise features mango and pineapple alongside caffeine, magnesium, B vitamins and fibre.

Focus blends lime, yuzu, ginseng and green tea extract with added fibre and B vitamins. Meanwhile, Glow combines white peach and raspberry flavours with zinc, biotin, B vitamins and fibre.

Chris Sanders, sales and marketing director at Radnor Hills, said the range had been developed in response to growing consumer interest in drinks that offer benefits beyond hydration.

He highlighted that consumer research involving 3,000 people aged 18 to 35 indicated support for expanding its portfolio beyond the education market, where its brands have traditionally been consumed.

Sanders also cited research indicating that 39% of Britons consume functional drinks, with health and wellness among the main motivations for purchase.

The range will target grocery, convenience, foodservice and forecourt channels, alongside business and industry (B&I), gyms, leisure, vending, travel and higher and further education.

Customers will be able to pre-order Radnor+ ahead of its January 2027 launch, with the company targeting the key health and wellness sales period in January and February.
