Nukava for Grocery Stores
Add a high-ring functional item that needs inches, not doors.
Functional beverages keep taking grocery share, but most entries need cold doors and wide facings. Nukava is the counterexample: a compact, shelf-stable premium item with lab-verified potency, a national venue footprint driving awareness, and repeat-purchase behavior built in.
Cases ship dry and merchandise on the shelf — you're adding a premium functional item without surrendering a cooler door to get it.
A 30mL bottle carries a premium price on a few inches of facing — margin per linear foot that canned functional drinks can't match.
Kava is search-trending, but shoppers hesitate at unverifiable brands. A published COA per batch gives your set the credible entry.
Each bottle is about 15 servings of an evening habit — the customer who adopts it puts Nukava on their monthly list.
Placements that meet the shopper already looking for calm.
The core facing — beside kombucha, adaptogen drinks, and NA aperitifs where the category shopper browses.
Grocery's fastest-growing beverage section; kava is its functional differentiator.
In stores with premium front-end space, the 30mL format works as a considered impulse item.
Seasonal 'wind down' features with teas and bath goods — kava headlines the theme.
Stores with a discovery program can lead with the founder story: a Tongan-American family brand with published testing.
The 12-pack of 30mL graduated dropper bottles is grocery's case format — shelf-ready labeled units, no cold chain. Multi-store programs should talk to us about volume directly.
Both wholesale formats are measured around the same 2mL serving: the 12-pack of 30mL graduated dropper bottles for menus and retail shelves, and the 1L precision-pump bottle for high-volume service. Wholesale pricing is public on our business order page.
Nukava is verified noble-root kava with three ingredients — kavalactones, water, and organic vegetable glycerin. Every batch is independently lab-tested after processing, labeled at a guaranteed minimum of 10mg/mL kavalactones, and its Certificate of Analysis is published. Look up a real batch report.
Low minimums and flexible terms while we grow — a free sample first, a free business account with public wholesale pricing, and a direct line to the founding team for anything bigger. Talk to us.
No — cases ship dry and the product merchandises on the ambient shelf. That's a big part of the economics: premium functional ring without giving up a cooler door.
The functional beverage set or the non-alcoholic/zero-proof section. Both shoppers arrive with the right intent; the NA set in particular is growing fast and short on genuinely functional options.
Twelve 30mL graduated dropper bottles per case, each fully labeled and shelf-ready with the batch number stamped on. One case fills a facing; reorders scale from there.
A measured dropper into whatever they're drinking — sparkling water, juice, evening tea. It's a nightly-ritual product, which is why repeat purchase drives the velocity.
It has what breakout functional categories share: centuries of traditional use, a felt effect, rising search interest, and a national venue scene — 600+ kava bars — introducing new customers who then want it at home. Retail is where that demand lands.
Free samples for your buying team, plain-language shelf education, and the batch-verify story that answers shopper skepticism at the shelf. Multi-store programs get a direct line to our founding team — terms stay flexible.
