About RECOVER 180:
Founded by serial beverage entrepreneur Lance Collins and real estate mogul and entrepreneur Mike Meldman, RECOVER 180 is the only organic sports drink formulated for balanced hydration. Its inception came from what Collins saw as a whitespace in the category, which at the time, offered no organic, better-for-you hydration options, inspiring him to launch RECOVER 180 which has been coined the "evolution of the bevolution." With no added sugar, chemicals, preservatives, or artificial colors, RECOVER 180's organic ingredients introduce a better way to hydrate, featuring organic coconut water combined with a balanced blend of electrolytes and vitamins to provide the hydration you need to RECOVER STRONG.
Since its launch, RECOVER 180 has steadily expanded its retail and distribution presence with national launches at Discovery Land properties, as well as Whole Foods Market, QuikTrip, and coast-to-coast availability at numerous retail chains. The company's partnerships also extend to premier independent distributors nationwide and can also be found online at Amazon and for purchase on the company's website.
