The best water flavouring in the UK, without the sugar.
If plain tap water bores you into dehydration, a water enhancer fixes it in one stir. Spruce sachets use real fruit powder, no sugar, no aspartame, and add vitamins B & C (plus D3 in Lime & Mint) to every 500 ml. Here’s how UK water enhancers compare and why we built ours the way we did.
What it is
Water enhancers, in one paragraph.
A water enhancer is a sachet, drop or tablet you add to water to flavour it without the calorie load of squash or fizzy drinks. The job is simple: make water taste good enough that you actually drink your daily target. The best ones do it with real fruit, no sugar, and a side dose of vitamins or electrolytes so the glass earns its keep.

FAQ
Water flavouring, your questions.
What is the best water flavouring in the UK?
The best water flavouring is the one you’ll actually keep using. For most UK drinkers that means real-fruit sachets with no sugar or sweetener bomb. Spruce was built for that brief.
Are water enhancers actually healthy?
A sugar-free, real-fruit water enhancer is healthier than squash, fizzy drinks or energy drinks because it adds flavour without free sugars. The NHS recommends keeping free sugars under 30g a day for adults.
How much does one Spruce sachet flavour?
One sachet flavours 500 ml. A standard pack covers about a week of two glasses a day.
What’s the difference between a water enhancer and electrolytes?
A water enhancer is for flavour and easy hydration. Electrolytes are for replacing salts lost through sweat in training, heat or recovery. Compare UK electrolyte sachets here.
