Hydration supplement company, LVL UP, has launched its new Ready-to-Drink Cans in three refreshing flavours, fresh off the back of releasing its latest flavour mix, Passionfruit.

Available in Grape, Mixed Berry and Lemon Lime, the LVL UP RTDs come in 330ml non-carbonated cans, delivering a blend of electrolytes and minerals designed to relieve symptoms of dehydration with low sugar and just 40 calories per serve.

Co-founded in 2021 by Melbourne-based entrepreneurs, Madison Verrocchi and Austin Xenos, LVL UP aims to create a science-backed, better-for-you beverage additive for everyday hydration. Food & Drink Business did a profile on the company in April, discussing the rise of functional beverages and the possibility of a different format for the drink, which has now come to fruition.

“Our Ready-to-Drink cans are about making electrolytes as easy to grab as your morning coffee. Hydration shouldn’t feel like a chore,” said Verrocchi.

“We’re not just another electrolyte brand, we’re here to raise the standard in taste, function, and consumer experience.”

LVL UP Ready-to-Drink Cans are now available nationwide at Chemist Warehouse and online at lvlupsupps.com for RRP $4.99 for a single can, $41.99 in a 12-pack, and $71.99 for a 24-pack.
