GLENDORA, Calif. — This season, NHRA fans will see a familiar name at all NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series events. POWERADE, the official isotonic of NHRA, will be providing fans and drivers with two new product offerings to sample and enjoy – POWERADE ULTRA and POWERADE POWER WATER. POWERADE, the sports drink consumers know and love and Mello Yello, are both part of The Coca-Cola Company.
For the first time in 13 years POWERADE recently launched two new zero-calorie, zero-sugar products – POWERADE ULTRA and POWERADE POWER WATER. Additionally, the brand unveiled its new ION4-inspired packaging design. These new product and packaging innovations provide more hydration options to a variety of consumers.
- POWERADE ULTRA – A zero-sugar, electrolyte enhanced sports drink that contains Creatine, BCAAs, vitamins B3, B6 and B12 and +50% more ION4® Electrolytes (compared to POWERADE), serves endurance athletes with a combination of ingredients for hydration + electrolyte replenishment. POWERADE ULTRA comes in three flavors: Mixed Berry, White Cherry and Citrus Blast
- POWERADE POWER WATER – Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or everyday athlete, POWERADE POWER WATER is a zero-sugar, zero-calorie flavored electrolyte water beverage powered by POWERADE’s ION4® Advance Electrolyte System and three B vitamins, B3, B6 and B12. It comes in three flavors: Berry Cherry, Tropical Mango and Cucumber Lime
- POWERADE ION4®-Inspired Packaging – POWERADE’s new packaging design (across the entire portfolio) was inspired by the ION4® Advanced Hydration System that helps replace the four electrolytes commonly lost in sweat: sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium
“We are thrilled to bring POWERADE ULTRA and POWERADE POWER WATER to the drivers, pit crews and loyal fans of the NHRA community,†said Al Rondon, Senior Manager of Sports Marketing at The Coca-Cola Company. “POWERADE’s innovations further advance our Company’s intent to refresh the world.â€
