The Unwell Energy Drinks have been launched by Unwell Beverages as a series of refreshments that balance out energy-boosting properties with functional ingredients.
The drinks each feature 150mg of natural caffeine sources from green coffee extract along with 745mg of electrolytes to strike a balance between being energy-boosting and refreshing. The drinks also feature six B vitamins including biotin to offer hair, nail and skin support. The drinks have no artificial sweeteners and instead rely on real fruit juice and stevia for sweetness with three-grams of sugar per can. The drinks come in four flavors including Cherry Lime, Passion Fruit Orange Guava, Watermelon and Pineapple Coconut.
Co-Founder Alex Copper commented on the Unwell Energy Drinks saying, "Wellness culture constantly tells us to be perfect, but Unwell Beverages was created to meet women exactly where they are. Whether they’re thirsty, hungry or exhausted, Unwell Beverages allows us to support our community with great tasting, better-for-you versions of their favorite drinks.”
