Frequently Asked Questions
All about JUNA
If you’re curious about what JUNA is, how it works, or whether it’s right for you, you’re in the right place.
We believe women deserve clarity when it comes to their health. Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our ingredients, formulation, daily use, and what makes JUNA different.
What is JUNA?
JUNA is a sparkling functional soda formulated specifically for women.
It contains 13 essential vitamins and minerals selected to support the regulation of hormonal activity, psychological function, energy metabolism, immune function and overall wellbeing.
It’s designed to make daily nutritional support simple and consistent.
Why was JUNA created?
I created JUNA because I was exhausted trying to keep up with supplement routines that just did not fit into my real life.
After years of navigating endometriosis and hormonal challenges, I knew consistent nutritional support mattered. But between work, life and family (5 kids!), remembering to take multiple capsules every day was not realistic. Powders sat in the cupboard, bottles expired and I would start strong and then fall off the bandwagon when life got busy.
So I created a sparkling functional drink formulated specifically for women. Something that's as easy as grabbing a can from the fridge. JUNA was created to make daily support easier.
Is JUNA a supplement?
JUNA is classified as a food under New Zealand regulations. That means it follows food standards and uses permitted general health claims based on the recognised functions of its ingredients. The benefits referenced come directly from the established roles of vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin B6 contributing to the regulation of hormonal activity and magnesium contributing to normal psychological function.
How is JUNA different from other functional drinks?
Most functional drinks focus on caffeine, sugar, or single trending ingredients that promise quick results. JUNA takes a different approach. It is built around foundational micronutrients that contribute to normal bodily functions relevant to women, including hormonal regulation, psychological function, and energy metabolism. It is 98% sugar free, contains only 21 calories per can, and is designed for consistent daily use rather than short-term stimulation.
Does JUNA contain caffeine?
No, JUNA does not contain caffeine. The energy support it offers comes from vitamins such as Riboflavin and Vitamin C, which contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The focus is on supporting your body’s natural processes rather than relying on stimulants.
Is JUNA sugar free?
JUNA is 98% sugar free and contains 21 calories per 250mL can. It is lightly sweetened to maintain a refreshing soda-style taste while keeping calories low. The goal was to create something that feels enjoyable and balanced without unnecessary sugar.
How often should I drink JUNA?
JUNA is designed to be enjoyed 4-7 times per week. Hormonal shifts occur across the entire cycle, so consistent nutritional support is more effective than sporadic supplementation. Making it part of your daily routine helps remove the pressure of remembering multiple products or timing different phases.
Can I drink JUNA every day?
Yes, JUNA is best when used daily. It is designed to provide consistent support through essential vitamins and minerals. If you are taking other supplements that contain similar nutrients, it is worth reviewing your total daily intake or speaking with a healthcare professional if you are unsure.
We also only recommend one can per day. Max usage is 2 cans per day.
Does JUNA replace a balanced diet?
No, JUNA is designed to complement a balanced diet, not replace it. Whole foods remain essential for overall health.
JUNA provides selected vitamins and minerals that contribute to normal bodily functions, but it works best as part of a broader approach to wellbeing.
What does JUNA taste like?
JUNA tastes like summer in a can. It is light, sparkling, and refreshing, with subtle notes of guava that give it a soft tropical lift without being overly sweet.
We chose that flavour direction intentionally. The ovulation phase of the cycle is often compared to summer, a time when many women feel more energised, confident, and outward-facing. We wanted to bottle that feeling. Something bright and uplifting.
It was formulated to feel enjoyable and effortless, so drinking it becomes part of your day in the most natural way.
What's inside and why
Every ingredient in JUNA has a purpose.
We did not build this drink around trends or buzzwords. We built it around essential vitamins and minerals that contribute to normal bodily functions relevant to women, including hormonal regulation, psychological function, energy metabolism, immune support, and skin health.
What ingredients are in JUNA?
JUNA contains 13 essential vitamins and minerals, including Inositol, Magnesium, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B2, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, Choline, Betaine, and Glycine. Each plays a recognised role in supporting normal bodily functions, from hormonal activity to energy metabolism and immune function.

Why did you choose these specific ingredients?
We worked tirelessly with experienced food scientists to perfect this recipe and make it as effective as possible for women.
Every ingredient in JUNA was selected with intention. It needed to contribute to normal bodily functions relevant to women, and it needed to perform within a ready-to-drink format without compromising stability, taste, or quality.
