Home · FAQ, DR. KRATOS
Questions
Practical questions get straight answers. One question does not, and never will.
The product
We will not say. There is a cola base underneath it and a considerable amount that is not cola. That is the complete disclosure, and it is not going to change. Every other soda we make is named plainly — the silence only means something if it happens once.
It is a formulation decision before it is a marketing one. A flavour you can name in three words has a ceiling: you decide whether you want it on the first sip and nothing changes your mind afterwards. Original is built to resist that. Withholding the description only works because the liquid earns it.
No.
Yes. Every can in the Core range contains no sugar. Each 330 ml can carries 36 kcal, almost all of which comes from the fibre.
Steviol glycosides and sucralose. Because of that, the pack carries the statement “with sweeteners” alongside the legal product name, as EU law requires.
Chicory root inulin, at 3 g per 100 ml — 9.9 g in a 330 ml can. It gives the drink body, which a sugar-free soda otherwise lacks. That is why it is in the formulation.
Because DR. KRATOS is a soda. The moment a functional benefit becomes the reason to buy, you are competing in the wellness aisle. We would rather you bought it for the taste and found the fibre later.
The fibre we use is a prebiotic fibre. We describe what is in the can rather than what it does, and we make no health claims anywhere on the pack or on this site.
No. The range is built on fibre, not live bacteria.
Original contains caffeine, below 15 mg per 100 ml — under the EU threshold, so no high-caffeine warning is required. Passion Mojito and Ginger contain none.
No. There is no taurine in any DR. KRATOS product, and caffeine is present only in Original and only at a low level. This is a soda.
Yes. No animal-derived ingredients are used in the Core range.
No gluten-containing ingredients are used. Full allergen information is printed on every can and always takes precedence over this page.
Halal certification is being pursued for the range, in line with the wider KRATOS portfolio. Certification status by market will be published here once confirmed.
36 kcal per 330 ml can. 11 kcal per 100 ml.
On each product page — Original, Passion Mojito and Ginger — with the full nutrition table. The pack is always the definitive source.
Spain.
Buying and availability
We are opening market by market rather than everywhere at once. Current and upcoming markets are listed on the where to buy page.
No. DR. KRATOS is sold through retail and distribution partners only. We do not operate an online shop and we do not ship to consumers.
Join the mailing list and we will tell you the week it lands. If nobody is bringing it in yet, the fastest route is usually a local retailer or distributor asking us — point them at the trade page.
Retail pricing is set by each market and each retailer, so it varies. Trade pricing is available to distributors on request.
Trade enquiries only, through trade@drkratos.com. We do not send samples to consumers.
330 ml tall slim aluminium, sold in cases of 24.
Serving and storage
Cold, straight from the can or over ice. Ginger in particular is better with ice than without.
Ginger, yes — it was built with that in mind. Original is unusual in a glass with spirits, which some people like a great deal and others do not.
12 months unopened at ambient temperature. Once opened, drink it the same day and keep it refrigerated.
No. It is shelf-stable ambient. Chill before serving.
The Reserve
Numbered limited editions, produced once and never repeated. It is where the difficult ideas go — flavours too strange to sit in a permanent range.
The mailing list, and nowhere else. We do not pre-announce them.
No. That is the point of the format.
It varies by edition and is decided per release. They are deliberately small.
The brand
The reason the formula was never written down. He appears on every can in profile, engraved, always facing the same direction. He is not a mascot and he is not a Greek god.
It is a title, not a profession. There is no doctor involved, no medical claim intended and no health benefit implied by the name.
Yes. DR. KRATOS is part of the KRATOS beverage family, licensed through KRATOS & Co., Lisbon. KRATOS sells on function — energy, hydration, electrolytes. DR. KRATOS sells on taste. Different jobs, one family.
One technique runs through the whole range: the figure, the botanicals and everything that follows are cut in identical line work at identical weight. It is the slowest way to build a range and the only way one of twenty products still looks deliberate.
Yes. The Core stays at three permanent products; everything else arrives through The Reserve.
Trade and distribution
Start with the trade page or write to trade@drkratos.com. Tell us the territory you cover and the channels you sell into, and we will come back with pricing and a launch plan.
24 × 330 ml.
It depends on the territory and the commitment. It is discussed case by case and only ever set out in a signed agreement.
Lab-verified ingredient declarations, full nutrition data and market-specific labelling including deposit and recycling marks, all prepared before first shipment.
Yes. Artwork is built so that market-specific elements can be changed without redrawing the pack.
Yes — localised creative, brand assets and trade collateral, with regional social accounts maintained centrally by us.
Packaging and sustainability
Aluminium is infinitely recyclable and is one of the most widely recovered packaging materials in the world. Please recycle it.
Yes, where a market operates one. Deposit and recycling marks are applied per territory.
Aluminium chills faster, protects the liquid from light, weighs less to ship and is recycled at a far higher rate than plastic.
