Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
KRANK'D: The Only 5-In-1 Body Fuel on the market today. Krank'd is an entirely new concept in performance beverages that combines the best components of all other energy drinks and vitamin waters in one delicious formula. It is designed to maximize your physical capabilities, attitude, and overall health. Krank'd is not just for athletes or bodybuilders, nor must it appeal to the latest fad groups like the hip-hop crowd or soccer moms to try create a following. This is a seriously nutritious drink that has only 75 calories and 18g of carbs per serving. It can help EVERYONE replenish their bodies with important vitamins, minerals, and amino acids lost through daily physical activity and helps cleanse the body of toxins. Krank'd works because it is simply good for you. Itıs like drinking a one-per-day multivitamin with the added bonus of a proprietary energy blend derived from a combination of B-Vitamins that wonıt leave you flat and dehydrated. It DOES NOT contain artificial sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) or aspartame and is taurine free. Krank'd has a brix rate of 4 (a rating of 7 or lower is considered excellent for optimum nutrient absorption) and can therefore be quickly and efficiently metabolized. Krank'd is currently available in 5 delicious flavors and more are planned to be introduced in the near future.


Fruit Punch
Category: Sports Drinks: Fitness Drinks; Packaging: 16 fl oz glass
BevNET Review:
Fruit Punch is a performance beverage that takes its ingredients very seriously. Like the other drinks in the Krank'd line, Fruit Punch contains a bevy of ingredients with the intention of creating a product that is truly functional. Unfortunately, this functionality comes at the expense of flavor, which is less than palatable. In addition, the product separates and when settled, has foam on the top of the liquid. These two issues should be corrected. The new label is more attractive than the original, but we think that this product needs to be in plastic if it's going to be taken seriously as a performance drink. Overall, this product needs work.

Grape
Category: Sports Drinks: Fitness Drinks; Packaging: 16 oz glass
BevNET Review:
Grape is the only flavor of the Krank'd lineup that didn't have visible separation -- definitely a good thing. The tartness of the grape flavor does a good job of hiding most of the functional ingredients, with the exception of a slight aftertaste to the finish. Still, it's the most palatable flavor of the Krank'd line. The packaging is decent, but not great, with our main complaint being the use of a stock glass bottle. Otherwise, they've kept the front pretty simple, with an image of grapes and only a handful of text blurbs. Overall, a decent entry.

Lemon Lime
Category: Sports Drinks: Fitness Drinks; Packaging: 16 oz glass
BevNET Review:
Lemon Lime is the green colored beverage in the Krand'd brand. Like the other drinks in the Krank'd line, Lemon Lime contains dextrose, electrolytes & l-glutamine, tri-carbs, anitoxidants, and caffeine. While this might prove to be a well formulated functional product, it suffers from the same separation and foam problems that we witnessed in the other varieties. Plus, there's a mild aftertaste to the product that limits the ability of this product to quench your thirst.

Orange
Category: Sports Drinks: Fitness Drinks; Packaging: 16 oz glass
BevNET Review:
Krank'd Orange Citrus has, in our opinion, one of the most mainstream flavors of the brand. The orange citrus flavor has a mild, sweet body that is the most tolerable of the lineup. However, there's still an aftertaste to the product, which is less than pleasant. Regardless of the manufacturer's claims, we think there are two critical flaws to the product. First, it comes in glass, which is going to prevent it from being used in many places where consumers would be likely to use a product labeled "body fuel." Second, it separates when sitting on the shelf, making it look like something is wrong with the product. The manufacturer should definitely correct these two problems.

Pina Colada
Category: Sports Drinks: Fitness Drinks; Packaging: 16 oz glass
BevNET Review:
Krank'd Pina Colada is a bright yellow performance beverage with a mild, but sweet flavor. As far as performance beverages go, Krank'd Pina Coloda has a drinkable flavor with a noticeable aftertaste that's on par with other products in the category. The functional formulation (see the ingredients list for a rundown) contains only 18g of carbs and 75 calories, which is certainly a plus. Still, we think that pina colada flavor will appeal only to a niche audience. And as with the other varieties, we think they should consider moving to a plastic package.
