AND NEW YORK, N.Y. — NXT Water Inc, the creator of AKESO CBD Powered Hydration announces a major distribution relationship with Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC), a leading national wholesale beverage alcohol distributor. AKESO will initially launch with RNDC in key CBD markets of Florida, California and Oregon with plans to expand nationally in 2022. This complements AKESO’s existing footprint in the Northeast and Florida markets. “RNDC approached its entry into the emerging CBD beverage category strategically and AKESO stood out. AKESO’s full ingredients and production compliance transparency are visible via an on-pack a blockchain verification platform which helps with customer and consumer confidence,” said Ken Rosenberg, Senior Vice President, Supplier Business Development at RNDC. “I could not be more thrilled to partner with RNDC to scale this emerging category and AKESO together,” said Todd Waks, CEO of NXT Water. AKESO prides itself on providing a pure tasting ultra-functional hydration solution utilizing plant botanicals, vitamins, and electrolytes to naturally support mind and body function without sugar, calories or anything artificial. AKESO’s CBD Powered Hydration beverage is unique in delivering 10mg of multiple cannabinoids (aka Broad-Spectrum) plus electrolyte levels that rivals those in most sports drinks, specifically formulated for performance and recovery. “Together we plan to undertake our very aggressive mission in disrupting the $10 billion U.S. Sports Beverage industry that has long been dominated by sugar-laden, artificially colored and flavored products,” said Waks. AKESO’s focus on brand integrity and leadership is exemplified by our Brand Captain and partner, 6x Stanley Cup Champion, Mark Messier. “Playing professional hockey for over twenty-six years, I have always been looking for all natural recovery beverages. Like everyone else, I drink water when I exercise so having AKESO to hydrate, replenish my electrolytes and help my body recover in a bottle of great tasting water was a total game-changer for me. I am excited to bring it to consumers in partnership with RNDC,” said Messier.
