Funpreneurs Travis Hollman & Johnny Dela Valdene are leading the relaxation beverage trend with ViB which contains B Vitamins and the amino acid L-Theanine.


Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) June 29, 2009 -- ViB (Vacation in a Bottle) has gone tropical with their newest flavor, Mango-Lime. The debut of Mango Lime follows the wild success of ViB's Pomegranate Berry flavor which launched nationwide last spring.

ViB is the starlet of relaxation beverages with fans that include celebrities Jessica Simpson, and professional athletes Amar'e Stoudemire, Mike Modano and Jason Witten.

ViB Co-founder, Travis Hollman says, "ViB is perfect for anyone who wants to relax and unwind while maintaining focus and concentration. And, our Mango-Lime flavor captures the cool vibe of the tropics in our sleek bottle design."

ViB's key ingredient is L-Theanine. It is the same amino acid found in green tea leaves, widely recognized for its calming properties. ViB's formulation also contains L-Threonine, B-vitamins and Lycii berry extract.

Relaxation drinks represent a rapidly growing share of the functional beverage market. Hollman's business partner and co-founder Johnny Dela Valdene says demand is growing because "a significant percentage of the population simply doesn't tolerate caffeine. And others want to be able to concentrate and focus, but without the crash associated with energy drinks."

"ViB is a great alternative for consumers who demand a better beverage. ViB is caffeine-free, lightly carbonated and contains 60 calories per 12 oz bottle," Valdene adds.

About Functional and Relaxation Beverages
Functional beverages are the fastest growing segment of the beverage industry, expected to grow an additional 30-percent over the next two years. These beverages are enhanced with natural ingredients that provide specific benefits beyond general nutrition. ViB kicked off the relaxation drink category, and it is growing exponentially in response to the public's backlash and rising concern over energy drinks. ViB helps relieve anxiety and stress, and deliver an all around 'relaxed' and happy feeling, without any drowsiness or lethargy.

About ViB
Dallas entrepreneurs Travis Hollman and Johnny Dela Valdene know a few things about fun. Right on the heels of their hit toy, The Marshmallow Shooter, the fun-preneurs are at it again with their latest creation, ViB (Vacation in a Bottle).

ViB (pronounced Vibe) is leading the next drinkable trend: the relaxation beverage. Hollman and Valdene launched ViB after seeing a growing backlash against the energy drink market. ViB's main ingredient is the amino acid, the same ingredient which gives green tea its calming effect. Combined with other amino acids and B-vitamins, ViB is a low-sugar, no caffeine, lightly carbonated beverage that relaxes, while increasing focus and concentration.

And, ViB has tremendous star power behind it. Singer and actress Jessica Simpson says "Vacation in a Bottle is the most refreshing surprise. With my crazy schedule 'ViB' helps me to relax and stay focused. I feel less stressed and more balanced after just one. Who doesn't love to go on a vacation! I can be there every day with Vacation in a Bottle."

It's also a hit with Dancing with the Stars Lil' Kim, and available in the green room of late night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live. Celebrity investors include: Cincinnati Bengals sensation Roy Williams, Dallas Stars' Forward Mike Modano, Cowboys' Tight End Jason Witten, Mavericks' President Donnie Nelson, Phoenix Sun's forward Amar'e Stoudemire, and Green Bay Packer Great, Marco Rivera.

ViB is available nationwide at major retailers including 7-Eleven, Arco AM/PM, QuikTrip, Albertsons, United Market Street and many other independent retailers.

Ok, I am not a believer -- and my big brother said he bought 50 of them (10 for 10 at Albertsons) and his kids LOVED it. So, I was there on Saturday Night and tried some, and then took some home. I am now a believer. I liked the taste and it helped me focus and slow down. I now want to learn more about its ingredietns and found this site. Do we know anything about L-theonine?

i drink ViB and it helps me with my stress. The clothing biz is very stressful and i'm on the go a lot ... so no time to brew tea. I think one bottle of ViB is like drinking 3-4 cups of green tea. I also like the low sugar and no caffeine!!

I was at Albertson's this weekend --Picking up a few odd and ends.. I put some of the new ViB in my Cart. (I like the Pom Berry. The young girl who helped me with the cart out to the parking lot said,,,,,"Oh, these are so good." pointing to the ViB. That got me going.. We chatted .......she told me there had been a man in the store demonstrating (only ViB) ..... a week or so ago. That was when she got to know about it. She thought it was great & way ahead of a cola drink. She also said that the day the man was there demonstrating ViB..........their entire stock was gone in an hour !!!!!! Today, the new flavor ViB was at the end of an aisle...top shelf, along with other things that were on sale in a similar pattern as 10 for $10 or 5 for $5. I can see why its so popular and i think more people should try it. Jeanne, Jeanne

I am a huge fan of this drink. I am dealing with the ups and downs of being a new mom. ViB helps me to relax and relieves the late night sleep deprived mom anxiety. I now have a drink that I can honestly drink all day with no caffeine which is an extra bonus bc I am nursing.

The Pomegranate Berry ViB is soo good, I can't wait to try the Mango Lime! The above person is so right about not being able to taste the alcohol, the Pomegranate Berry tastes super good with Vodka.

I have recently purchesed several bottle of ViB and have fallen in love with it. So much as to take it into bars with me at night and ordering Vodka straight up and adding the ViB myself. As I have been doing this, I can't tell you how many people have asked what it is. Once I let them try it, they as well want more and want to know where to buy it. I truly wish I didn't have to bring it to the bars myself. How can we get it to be as popular as Red Bull. Move over Red Bull, here come a new Vib.
