# Electrolyte-Packed Health Drinks BIOLYTE, the "IV in a Bottle" Brand, Has Launched a Melon Flavor By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2022-01-31 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biolyte References: [bevnet](https://www.bevnet.com/news/2022/biolyte-the-iv-in-a-bottle-debuts-new-melon-flavor) & [drinkbiolyte](https://drinkbiolyte.com/)  BIOLYTE, the brand responsible for the world's first doctor-formulated "IV in a bottle" beverage, has announced the launch of its newest flavor: Melon. The new offering will join the brand's popular Citrus, Berry, and Tropical flavors. Of course, the new flavor will not change the functional benefits of the drink. BIOLYTE Melon will also deliver a massive dose of electrolytes, offering customers the same medical benefits as a full, hospital-ready IV bag. In fact, BIOLYTE packs 6.5 times more electrolytes than leading energy drinks while only containing one-third of the amount of sugar. "We know our customers have different taste preferences, and our goal is to continue providing a solution that helps relieve headaches, fatigue, and nausea associated with severe dehydration. Melon is refreshing and subtly sweet, a well-suited sibling to our citrus, berry and tropical flavors,” said Jesslyn Rollins, CEO of BIOLYTE.
