“Biggest Losers” Filipe Fa and Sione Fa Lead the Charge
Against Artificial, HFCS-Ladened Beverages.
Drink No Evil!

San Francisco-based Adina for Life, Inc., creators of Adina beverages, today announced its participation at the NACS Show 2009 in Las Vegas, NV on October 20-23, where it will mount an aggressive awareness campaign to promote the launch of its new line of herbal elixirs, “Adina Holistics™”. Taking a stand against the myriad of artificial, High Fructose Corn Syrup-filled beverages that proliferate the coolers of convenient stores across America, Adina Holistics is inspired by a vision of a world that “Drinks No Evil”.

The Adina management team, comprised of seasoned beverage industry veterans that include the Founders of Odwalla® and SoBe®, have created the new line of herbal beverages specifically for consumers who live healthy and active lifestyles, in search of better tasting, better-for-you choices.

“This year’s NACS Show is a great forum for us to champion the ideal that consumers are demanding healthier beverage choices—not just at the health food stores and gyms, but at the corner deli and gas station,” said Greg Steltenpohl, Co-Founder of Adina for Life, Inc. Steltenpohl, who recently brought in SoBe Beverage founder John Bello as Adina’s Acting CEO, will also be on hand at the NACS Show to unveil the new line.

Joining the Adina team at the NACS Show are newly appointed Adina Brand Ambassadors and contestants from season seven of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser”, Filipe Fa and Sione Fa, who will be on hand to sign autographs throughout the show. “When I weighed 360 lbs., I never really bothered reading the labels of the beverages I drank. The calories can really add up with those super-sugary sodas and sports drinks,” said Filipe Fa. “Now I’m hyper-aware of what’s on the label. When I tasted Adina Holistics, I was amazed at just how much great flavor they packed into a low-sugar drink.”

Acknowledging the growing awareness and acceptance of holistic and natural health by U.S. consumers, “Adina for Life” created the line of Holistic drinks that tap into the 5,000-year-old “emerging trend” of Ayurveda. Adina Holistics™ are infused with adaptogenic herbal extracts known to exert a normalizing influence on the body with flavors that include: “Honey Lemon Aloe”, “Mango Orange Chamomile”, “Blackberry Hibiscus”, “Peach Amalaki” and “Honey Eucalyptus” in addition to the new flavors that were launched last month, “Grapefruit Goji” and “Pomegranate Açaí”.

Adina Holistics™ follows the recent successful launch of Adina “Natural Highs™” coffee energy drinks which received the “Best of 2008” award from BevNet.com, Inc., the leading beverage industry publisher. “Natural Highs™” is available in five flavors: “Carmel Kick”, “Vanilla Nutcase”, “Mocha Madness” and “Double Xxpresso”.

Adina Holistics™ was launched in May 2009 in two strategic markets; California and throughout New England with a strong DSD network, many of which collaborated with Adina in the development of the products and packaging. As of September 2009, distribution has expanded to the Midwest in states such as Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, as well Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. The company also plans to distribute to locations in New York in late October 2009.
