NutriPure Beverages, Inc (Pink Sheets: NBVG) is focused on growth and diversification in the healthy food / healthy water industries. NutriPure currently owns XND Technologies, Inc. NutriPure Beverages, Inc subsidiary XND Technologies, Inc. is bringing to market a complete line of nutrient-enhanced bottled water products under the NU2O label. XND has a strong management team in place, headed by Founder and CEO Steve Nickolas, a veteran of 35 years experience in the water business. Nu2O products will be the first and only premium nutrient-enhanced bottled water products to be produced using a revolutionary cold-filling process that enables the adding of organic nutrients while retaining the appearance and taste of pure water. This concept is unique because no other producer adds organic nutrients without also adding masking flavors, colors or sweeteners. Nutripure’s products will contain no calories, no carbohydrates, no colors and most importantly, no flavors other than pure water. NutriPure’s patented cold-fill process gives the company two huge marketing advantages over its competitors. First, this process costs 30% less than the standard hot-fill process, which translates directly to greater bottom line profits. Cold-filling also enhances the bioavailability of the ingredients, prevents biodegradation, and allows beverages to be bottled at neutral pH, thereby creating a more healthful product without altering the taste of the water. This process gives NutriPure the advantage of being able to use the claims “natural”, “organic”, and “no preservatives” on its packaging and marketing materials.
