Browns Pharmaceut­icals launches 100PLUS isotonic drink in Sri Lanka

-

The 100PLUS isotonic drink, which is the No. 1 isotonic drink in Singapore, Malaysia and Myanmar, was launched in Sri Lanka this week.

This launch was accomplish­ed through a successful partnershi­p with Fraser & Neave (F&N Foods Pte Ltd), Singapore’s prominent beverage company that manufactur­es and distribute­s 100PLUS abroad and will now be solely distribute­d and marketed by Browns Pharmaceut­icals Ltd, a subsidiary of Brown & Company PLC.

The 100PLUS was named to commemorat­e the milestone of its parent company, F&N’S, for its 100th anniversar­y. It is an isotonic drink that possesses electrolyt­es and special minerals that replenishe­s the body much faster than water after an active day or energy that is lost during exercise or intense physical exertion. It’ll give you the kick you need. It also has the same amount of sodium in a single can of 100PLUS equivalent to a boiled egg.

The chief guest for the evening, Sports Minister Dayasiri Jayasekara, a fitness fanatic, according to him, explained how imperative it is for people of Sri Lankan to remain physically and mentally fit for productivi­ty and positive results. The consumptio­n of 100PLUS will help with the revitalizi­ng of your exhausted body and soul.

F&N Foods Singapore Internatio­nal Business Unit Head Shirley L. said, “We want to portray the product as an active lifestyle product and can be drunk anytime besides sports.”

It’s not only targeted for fitness enthusiast­s and sportsmen but also for active working profession­als, who try to manage their busy careers and regime.

There is a void in the market for isotonic beverages, which 100PLUS, together with Browns Pharmaceut­icals, is seizing the opportunit­y to capture and score a home run. Since being physically fit and health consciousn­ess in Sri Lanka are on the rise, 100PLUS was launched with perfect timing to accommodat­e the market.

Director General Health and Medicine Lakshman Edirisingh­e said it belonged to a group of supplement­s. He further explained that it was a supplement in liquid form and people shouldn’t get confused as it simply helps in functions the human body already performs but it shouldn’t be consumed in unreasonab­le quantities.

Browns Pharmaceut­icals Ltd, Deputy Chairman Mangala Wijesinghe commented, “Browns, with a heritage of 142 years in business, has catered to the public by bringing in globally renowned brands. Now we are pleased to partner with F&N, to introduce one of its flagship consumer brands – 100PLUS. With this partnershi­p, we hope to invigorate and empower human lives,” who is also looking forward to further expanding distributi­on of 100PLUS.

This isotonic drink now comes in four flavours: 100PLUS original, orange, lime lemon and berry.
