All Sport and Dr Pepper Snapple Group Introduce the First Sports Drink Naturally Sweetened With Stevia
Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (NYSE: DPS) introduce All Sport Naturally Zero, the
first and only zero-calorie sports drink sweetened with rebiana, an
all-natural sweetener from stevia. Formulated with electrolytes and B
vitamins, All Sport Naturally Zero provides pure, naturally sweetened
hydration and replenishment without the calories.
“Athletes and exercisers continue to drive new demands on the sports-drink
market,” said
Inc. “All Sport Naturally Zero is a zero-calorie sports drink that provides
all of the hydration without the calories, naturally.”
Rebiana is an all-natural zero calorie sweetener derived from the stevia
plant. Stevia has been used as a sweetener for centuries and rebiana was
recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for use in
a variety of foods and beverages.
“We have been working diligently in our R&D center to incorporate stevia
in our products and in our allied brands such as All Sport,” said
chief executive officer of Dr Pepper Snapple Group. “Taste is king in the
beverage industry, but for today’s consumers, health is becoming increasingly
important. All Sport Naturally Zero delivers a unique proposition for the
millions of Americans who exercise regularly and are looking to get the most
out of their workouts.”
Dr Pepper Snapple Group holds an equity stake in Big Red, Inc., the parent
company of All Sport, Inc., and is the primary distributor of the All Sport
brand.
