Sri Lanka's first isotonic drink
Designed and developed in Sri Lanka, by Sri Lankans, for Sri Lankans.
An isotonic drink is formulated to rehydrate the body and replace electrolytes and carbohydrates lost during physical activity. Its formulation is designed to provide fluids and electrolytes together.
Gower Street Holdings, a Brantel Group company, agreed with the Industrial Technology Institute in 2008 to research and manufacture that drink. Actirade carries the same science for athletes and everyday recovery.
