Ginger Ale to Compete With Over the Counter Drugs

Marketwired
Reed's, Inc. (NASDAQ: REED) (NASDAQ: REEDR), maker of the
top-selling sodas in natural food stores nationwide, announced
today that it will begin producing new products designed to compete
with existing over the counter medicines.
"For years we have been hearing from our customers on how they
use our ginger brews to treat health conditions. We've spoken to
customers using our drinks for motion sickness, food poisoning,
migraines, morning sickness, irritable bowel syndrome and even
autism," commented Mr. Chris Reed, Founder, Chairman and CEO of
Reed's, Inc.
"I started this business because I believed in the healing power
of ginger. I studied Ayurveda (East Indian herbology) and Chinese
medicine, and using the principles of these herbal pharmacopeias, I
developed my Reed's Ginger Brews. Responding to the growing trend
toward more natural products, drug stores have started to include
natural drug alternatives alongside over-the-counter drugs. In
fact, we have been encouraged to develop these products for a
certain drug store chain. Therefore, we have created a new line of
products based on the Reed's Ginger brand. The new brand includes
variations on some of our most popular ginger products and will
have a new trademark, R(x)eed's where the r and x are joined like
in drug store signs of old days."
Mr. Reed added, "Since we started making our Reed's Ginger
Brews, considerable research has come out showing the health
benefits of ginger, including its ability to kill bad bacteria in
the digestive track, treat post-chemo nausea and combat cancer
cells. We look forward to the ongoing, research around ginger and
believe ginger should be a regular component of everyone's diet. We
are the only company in the world that brews fresh ginger to make
our ginger ales, which is the main reason our drinks have worked so
well for our customers."
