Detox drink
French brand Contrex Green has developed a mate-based 'detox drink'.
The drink is made from an infusion of natural mineral water, organic mate, organic cane sugar and natural flavours. It contains 5 g of sugar per 250 ml, which the manufacturer says is “half as much” as the average drinks on the market.
The drink will launch in March this year in France and will be available in 750 ml format bottles.
“Yerba maté is a medicinal plant traditionally used in Latin America to fight the symptoms of fatigue and the feeling of weakness. Its natural antioxidant and caffeine content make it a must-have ally […] to drive out fatigue and create a good mood,” says the brand.
It has a recommended retail price of €1.12.
