LADERA RANCH, Calif. — ORAL I.V., Inc. the creator of the only all-natural, sugar-free, 2 oz. rapid hydration activator shot, further reinforces its position in the health and wellness market with its launch at GNC, a global health and wellness brand.

The product, was formulated to allow military Special Forces to stay hydrated during extreme conditions. This new venture with GNC advances ORAL I.V.’s mission to make hydration available and accessible to U.S. troops at 120 military based GNC locations.

While most hydration formulas attempt to replace large amounts of fluid and electrolytes, ORAL

I.V. is designed to aid the body’s utilization of water by rapidly activating its capacity to hydrate on a cellular level. Optimal hydration not only helps performance during physical activity, but can also alleviate muscle cramping and nausea associated with dehydration.

“This partnership allows us to support our American warriors who train and do battle in the harshest conditions on the planet. It’s insanely hot, shockingly arid, and completely unforgiving. If these brave men and women become dehydrated their bodies will fail them, and we’re not about to let that happen,” said Bob Jones, CEO of ORAL I.V., Inc. “Adding to that, is GNC’s commitment to provide their customers with innovative and premium products which has allowed them to maintain their foothold in the health and wellness industry. This makes them a valuable and strategic partner for ORAL I.V.”

“It was an easy choice to add ORAL I.V. to GNC’s product portfolio as the brand aligns seamlessly with GNC’s mission to motivate and support the desire to live well every day,” said Allen McClard, SVP & Chief Merchandising Officer of GNC. “We are thrilled to offer ORAL I.V. in our stores to allow our consumers and U.S. troops to rehydrate and reenergize throughout their everyday routines.”
