waterdrop, the innovative hydration and beverage-tech brand, has expanded its product lineup from the proprietary Microdrinks to Microlytes. Microlytes are hydration-boosting beverage cubes with a functional blend of five electrolytes and nine vitamins to support endurance and recovery.
One of the key differences between Microlytes and traditional sports drinks is that waterdrop’s naturally flavored Microlytes have zero sugar or caffeine and are a sustainable solution to endless cans through their signature dissolvable cube form.
Available in 12-packs with three flavors -- melon, grapefruit, blueberry -- and launching alongside three new sports bottles in three colors -- yellow, red, blue -- the Microlytes provide consumers with another tasty beverage without 98% of the plastic and 98% less of CO2 use for transportation.
