180 Blue and the Acai Berry
In addition to the juice from Acai Berries, 180 Blue also contains guarana, red grape and blueberry juices (which is where it gets its flavor from). So not only do you have the health benefits of the Acai berries you also get the stimulating effects of guarana which is potent and natural form of caffeine.
What’s the deal with these Acai Berries?
Not only does the Acai berry provide you with an extra boost of energy; it is also very healthy for you. A couple of the supposed benefits include; twice the cancer beating antioxidants of blueberries (from anthocyanin), fights cholesterol better than red wine. Heck this might even prevent you from going crazy as it certain properties in the Acai berry suggest that it may help protect against neurological diseases.
Where to Find It?
You can find the new 180 online or nationally at convenience and grocery stores and bars and clubs in 8 ounce or 16 ounce cans.
Effect on the Energy Drink Market
With all these health benefits and energy boosting ingredients I really see the 180 doing a 180 on the energy drink market. Now people over the age of 40 and health conscious consumers can turn to energy drinks instead of just the younger generation. The energy drink market has had staggering growth over the last couple of years, and by expanding to a new market segment I don’t believe that it will slow down.
You can find these drinks from Anheuser Busch in the typical places (supermarkets, bars, gas stations), but where it should be found is in health food stores like GNC or Vitamin World. Hey if you are going to make a healthy energy drink, why not make it available where people that are concerned about there health shop.
Check back, as soon as I can get my hands on this drink I will review it! I am dying to know what the addition of this new fruit will do for the 180! Or if you have not tried the original yet, check out my review of the 180 Energy Drink here.
