Written by Shoshana Pritzker Tuesday, 29 June 2010 15:17
These days the grocery and convenience store refrigerators are lined with dozens of canned beverages boasting mood elevating properties and long lasting energy. With so many options how do you choose which drink is right for you. In keeping with the latest trends, you may be looking for an all-natural alternative. Or how about something with no sugar? Bubbles or no bubbles. Solixir is all of that plus more!
Introducing Solixir...
The first all-natural sparkling botanical beverage to hydrate body and soul.
When I first heard about this new beverage hitting the market, I thought what better way to find out the truth and nitty gritty then to speak to those involved. Luckily our very own Dr. Susan M. Kleiner PhD, RD, FACN, CNS, FISSN, has two feet in the door as Solixir's own nutritionist. First thing I thought was, "hey, if Susan's on board this stuff MUST be good!" Shortly thereafter we set up a quick phone interview.
Besides having the best nutritionist on board, Scott Lerner (the owner and founder of Solixir) brought on the best Herbalist, Amanda McQuade Crawford BA, DipPhyto, MNIMH, MNZAMH, RH (AHG), to help formulate Solixir's perfectly fused blend of botanicals. With this pair Scott was sure to have a winner.
If you're not familiar with botanicals, they are basically parts of a particular plant that have drug-like or medicinal properties. Think of Yerba Mate or Ginseng, these are both botanicals. To learn more about the botanicals found in Solixir, check out the easy-to-use guide found on Solixir's website (www.Solixir.com).
"Solixir is not a fad; we used real knowledge and science to create these wonderful beverages" - Susan M. Kleiner PhD, RD, FACN, CNS, FISSN
From what I understand, Susan and Amanda worked with Scott to put together the most hydrating set of beverages found in the market with both flavor and health in mind. With three (3) delicious flavors and blends you're sure to find one that is best for you. All three of the Solixir flavors are a well-thought out blend of 6 botanicals and contain NO sugar. And if you like bubbles, they're all sparkling too! Susan explains these are not sport specific beverages, but a beverage for every body; you will feel a rise in alertness with no crash.
