Swiss drink re'ACTIV'ates consumers
Switzerland acidity, preservatives or artificial vitamins.
Swiss company intelligentfood has just launched a novel drink designed to energise and refresh using natural ingredients.
intelligentfood is keen to stress that Premium ACTIVE is not an energy drink and that it was not designed with young people in mind. Instead, the beverage is targeted at women and men over the age of 30 who appreciate that the beverage is a premium product due to its natural credentials and the complex and cutting-edge fermentation process used. Premium ACTIVE is currently available only in Switzerland, but the company is in talks with several large international retailers with the intention of introducing the drink to the US, UK, Germany and Scandinavia.
Premium ACTIVE, as the drink has been called, was officially launched at the beginning of January 2011.The beverage contains what the company describes as its unique FMCformula: an exclusive combination of fruits (F), malt (M) and caffeine (C) for an energy lift and excellent taste.
