Athletes and sportsmen often need energy drinks and supplement products to keep their momentum going. However, with the massive list of products out there in the market, one should also be informed of what’s in the energy drinks and supplements they take.
This is where companies like Acli-Mate step forward. Their mission is to provide gluten-free and natural sports drinks and supplements for the sports drinker or the avid mountaineer who can’t be stopped.
Mountain sports drinks from Gunnison
In 2003, Dr. Roanne Houck introduced the Acli-Mate Mountain Sports Drink, which is made for the health-conscious individual who wants to get the benefits of energy drinks but with the use of all-natural products.
It was first marketed towards mountain visitors and athletes to increase their acclimatization and performance at any elevation. From 2003 to 2008, the sales of the natural energy drink increased specifically in the Colorado Rocky Mountain and in 2009, Mark Pike joined the company as its co-owner.
