What's the story behind Orbana Healthy Energy Drink?
Orbana Healthy Energy was born from a meeting at the pub when a group of friends
with backgrounds in sport, health and nutrition realised that they all shared a
common frustration that there were no healthy energy drinks on the market.
Every sport or energy drink was loaded with caffeine, sweeteners, colours
and preservatives. This inspired the group to challenge themselves to develop
a truly healthy energy drink not only for themselves, but also for all the other
athletes who were looking to give themselves an edge in a healthy way.

Shortly thereafter, they began working with a top British sports nutritionist who had a long list of world-class athletes and Olympians as clients. His theories were quite simple and effective: formulate drinks containing generous amounts of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that can be easily digested into the blood stream and vital organs to promote strong immune systems. This in turn would promote peak physical performance. Through his extensive research, he also identified carbohydrates that avoided 'sugar' spikes and released blood sugar energy at a consistent and extended rate.
After finalising a special balance of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, amino acids and electrolytes that delayed fatigue for two-hour stretches, the next challenge was to make sure that Orbana Healthy Energy tasted great. Although many of the ingredients were of very high quality, they were not particularly tasty. After a lot of patience, tenacity and trials, they finally succeeded with a clean, light citrus flavour-most people don't even realise it's an energy drink when tasting it.
The Orbana team then had one last decision to make. They knew that scientific research shows that vitamins deteriorate when diluted with water over time, and to achieve Orbana's goal to optimise nutritional content (and thus performance), the 'drink' needed to stay in a powder form. The team however, saw that powder actually had some real benefits. It's light to carry, can be diluted to an individual's taste, has a long shelf life and since it's 84% lighter than a liquid beverage, powder massively reduces the use of fossil fuels for mass transport.
It took a while, but the Orbana team has finally created the drink that they envisioned and believe in. It has been rigorously tested by the Informed Choice and Informed Sport Quality Assurance Programmes to ensure that it is free of stimulants, contaminants and substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency. And it has been rigorously tested by athletes at all levels of competition-from premier league footballers, triathletes, and polar explorers, to first time marathoners and Sunday leaguers. Do let us know if you have any questions and we hope you enjoy Orbana Healthy Energy as much as we do.
The Orbana Team.
