About Purple Beverage Company, Inc.<\/p>\n

Purple is a unique and tasty blend of seven of the world’s most powerful antioxidant-rich juices, including the exotic acai berry, black cherry, pomegranate, black currant, purple plum, cranberry, and blueberry. The health benefits of these juices are packed into an all-natural, no-sugar added beverage that is perfect as an on-the-go drink or as part of a healthy fruit smoothie. Since debuting in late 2007, Purple has been praised by such high- profile publications as Health Magazine and Family Circle.<\/p>\n

Additionally, because adding alcohol to antioxidant-rich berries increases their antioxidant capacity — a fact confirmed by researchers from the United States Department of Agriculture and by a study by researchers at Kasetsart University in Thailand — Purple is becoming one of the most popular antioxidant cocktail trends in nightclubs and lounges.<\/p>\n

Purple can be found in select GNC stores across the country, as well as in restaurants, bars, nightclubs, delis, drug stores, health food stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores For more information, visit\u00a0www.drinkpurple.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
