ENDED…Review & Giveaway – Natural Vitamin Enriched Beverage by ACTIVATE

Congrats to Kittenish for winning this giveaway! Thank you to everyone who entered and to the giveaway sponsor for offering this awesome prize!!

My cousin came over a couple weeks ago and had a really cool drink bottle in her hand. I asked her about it and she said it was a new “vitamin” water that she was hooked on. She showed us how you twist the cap and the vitamins are freshly distributed into the water. What was it? It’s called ACTIVATE. Each beverage has different benefits to suit your needs. I was able to try Blueberry Pomegranate, which is a performance beverage and Lulo Pear, which is a multivitamin beverage.

Lulo Pear tastes just like pear and has 200% of your body’s daily dose of Vitamin C and other essential vitamins…like Vitamin A, B and E. This drink contains zero sugar and zero calories. This particular multivitamin drink makes me really excited because now I don’t have to pop huge pills every morning. Plus, I have a difficult enough time taking pills and getting them lodged in my throat. This drink tastes great, gives me my daily vitamins and is hydrating too!

Blueberry Pomegranate tastes just like blueberry and pomegranate …sweet and refreshing! This drink contains antioxidants that help protect skin, cells and overall health. It also contains zero sugar and zero calories. It is enriched with Tea Polyphenols, Tea Catechins, Acai Extract, EGCG, Aloe Vera Extract and Bilberry Extract.

I keep these drinks in the fridge so that they are cold and easily accessible. You simply twist the blue top in the direction of the arrows and your vitamins are instantly distributed to the water. Then twist off the cap and enjoy!

ABOUT ACTIVATE (from their website):

By storing the active ingredients inside the unique cap, separate from the water, the ingredients stayed powerful, fresh and offered the convenient, all-in-one delivery method we were seeking.
For us, taking vitamins every day had become more hassle than it was worth. Swallowing horse pills and dumping supplement powders into water bottles was just not cutting it.
We looked to vitamin-enhanced waters for an answer, but found labels filled with empty promises. In our search for something better, we made a discovery that demanded attention.

At first, it seemed like nothing more than a convenient way to take your vitamins on the go – a cap that featured a moisture-resistant compartment inside where ingredients could be stored and released before drinking. Nice idea. But as we began to research the advantages of keeping the active ingredients separate from the water, we realized there was a significant health and wellness benefit.

According to our research conducted in partnership with an independent analytical laboratory, vitamins and other ingredients lose their potency sitting in water. By storing the active ingredients inside the unique cap, separate from the water, the ingredients stayed powerful, fresh and offered the convenient, all-in-one delivery method we were seeking.

On that day, ACTIVATE was born – an all-natural product that contains 0 grams of sugar, 0 calories, no preservatives, and is naturally sweetened with Stevia. Activate provides real refreshment, great taste, and a fresh dose of vitamins –Delivered with a twist in a 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottle. A Turn for the Better.
Anders and Burke, Founders
