Who Future Nutrition Is
Future Nutrition is an Irish family business that’s been rooted in ownership and nature for four generations. They take pride in product quality, innovation, and service — it’s their passion, their focus, and what they believe shapes the future of nutrition for sport, active, and lifestyle consumers. Established in 2010, Future Nutrition operates from the same original site as their sister company, Donohoe Drinks, which has been developing, manufacturing, and bottling spirits, beers, and soft drinks since 1876. From a fast-paced start-up, they’ve grown into a global functional beverage manufacturer, collaborating with some of the largest consumer functional beverage brands worldwide. Their trademark agility lets them work with clients of all sizes — small, medium, and large alike.
