Leading Brands, Inc. Announces the North American Launch of TREK Natural Sports Drinks and NITRO Energy Drinks
Both TREK Natural Sports Drinks and NITRO Energy Drinks are now available in a new, lower cost, 20 oz package featuring the trademark TREK loop cap that allows the bottle to be easily clipped to back-packs, belts, bikes and other paraphernalia.
TREK(r) is an all-Natural Sports Drink that is sweetened with pure cane sugar and not high fructose corn syrup (as are other products). TREK(r) Natural Sports Drinks are 'osmotically balanced' to allow the body to quickly absorb and assimilate their liquid energy. They are formulated to naturally hydrate athletes fast.
NITRO(tm) Energy Drinks, on the other hand, pack the full punch of an energy drink and at the same time hydrate your body. They are non-carbonated. They are a unique formulation of thirst-quenching energy.
Both TREK(r) Natural Sports Drinks and NITRO(tm) Energy Drinks are now available in a new, lower cost, 20 oz package featuring the trademark TREK(r) loop cap that allows the bottle to be easily clipped to back-packs, belts, bikes and other paraphernalia. TREK(r) Natural Sports Drinks are initially released in four flavors: Orange, Fruit Punch, Lemon-Lime and Wildberry. NITRO(tm) Hydrating Energy Drinks come in three flavors: Grape, Blue Raspberry and Red Berry.
Leading Brands Chairman and CEO Ralph McRae said: "Athletes are very particular about what they put in their bodies. TREK(r) Natural Sports Drinks are the result of years of research and development by Leading Brands. TREK(r) Natural Sports Drinks allow athletes to re-hydrate, replace lost carbohydrates and electrolytes and recover more quickly, both during and after training and competition. To top it off, they are the only all-natural alternative on the market."
Mr. McRae continued: "NITRO(tm) Energy Drinks fill what we perceive to be a void in the fastest growing of beverage categories: they are the only energy drinks that are 'gulpable.' Energy drinks have been increasing in size in recent years -- most notably from 8 oz to 16 oz servings -- with the larger package sizes growing in popularity and market share. NITRO(tm) takes that trend one step further to 20 oz: no more 'sipping' your energy drinks."
Mr. McRae concluded: "We will take TREK(r) Natural Sports Drinks and NITRO(tm) Energy Drinks to market across North America through our growing Integrated Distribution System. Since the trial launch of TREK(r) and NITRO(tm) in 2001 we have listened to our loyal consumers, made great strides refining the liquids, developing the brand image and enhancing the way we go to market in the United States. Perhaps most importantly, we are now able to make these great products available to consumers at an extremely attractive price point."
