ORAL I.V.® Expands North American Retail Sales Channels
Los Gatos, CA (PRWEB) March 18, 2015 -- ORAL I.V., a performance beverage company, has secured seed capital from angel investors, including a former NFL owner and original investor in the popular Muscle Milk® product. ORAL I.V. emerged as a crossover success story under the leadership of an executive team that has over three decades of combined experience in the beverage industry. Following a three-year history of success in the military, law enforcement, tactical and first responder communities, ORAL I.V. entered the consumer market in 2013. The company is now in talks with major distributors and retailers to expand North American retail sales channels for its hydration aid products.
ORAL I.V. has carved out a strong customer base in high performance sports such as Obstacle Course Racing (Spartan Race), CrossFit, running and mixed martial arts. The company has built a roster that includes some of the top athletes in the obstacle course racing circuit, including April Dee, Isaiah Vidal, Joey Patrolia, Orla Walsh and Sarah Pozdol. Between them, they hold numerous podium finishes in the Spartan Race, Atlas Race, BattleFrog Race Series and more. The ORAL I.V. team also includes UFC fighter Anthony “El Toro” Birchak and Crossfit athlete Jon Pera, a highly ranked fitness competitor who was on the LA Reign last year.
“ORAL I.V. is truly a game-changer for the performance beverage industry, and that’s why sales have grown steadily since we entered the consumer market in late 2013,” said Bob Jones, CEO, ORAL I.V. “We are looking for partners that can help expand our market reach and distribution, leveraging the brand equity that ORAL I.V. has already built in our target markets. From performance sports to everyday hydration, the product represents vast and varied opportunities for mainstream success.”
