HeadOn restores, replenishes and repairs at a cellular level with a trifecta of antioxidants, electrolytes and micronutrients. Through its proprietary formulation, HeadOn provides the body with what it needs before, during and after any athletic pursuit to help recover and rebuild for overall improved performance.

"Science shows that simply rehydrating with an everyday sports drink is not enough for today's athletes," said Terry Sperstad, CEO of Impact Beverage LLC. "Sports and athletic activities have evolved over the years, but sports supplements haven't kept pace. HeadOn is the result of years of collaboration and millions of dollars in R&D testing to design the most effective and scientifically-proven fuel for athletes putting their bodies to the test."

HeadOn's advanced patented formula was developed with leading scientists and sports medicine doctors. The ingredients contained in the formulation were tested in multiple studies with the U.S. Department of Defense.

"HeadOn was developed with ingredients tested in a study with the Marine Corps. Participants who used the supplement showed improved recovery throughout the study," stated Dr. Gerald Haase, Chief Medical Officer of Impact Beverage LLC.

HeadOn is supported by a renowned medical advisory board, chaired by Dr. Haase. Dr. Haase is known for his role in the development of novel strategies for antioxidant micronutrient therapy. Other members of the advisory board include Dr. Julian Bailes and Dr. Jeffrey Jones, both well-respected clinicians and researchers in the field.

Intense physical activity naturally breaks down muscles and produces excessive free radicals, stressing the body. HeadOn is specifically engineered to provide more than just simple hydration so athletes can train smarter and recover faster following strenuous activity.


    --  HeadOn restores antioxidants necessary to reduce oxidative damage from
        strenuous athletic activities.
    --  HeadOn replenishes electrolytes that assist the body in staying
        hydrated.
    --  HeadOn repairs with micronutrients that support the body's ability to
        reduce inflammation and oxidative stress related to strenuous athletic
        activity.

HeadOn's proprietary blend of dietary and endogenous antioxidants, electrolytes and micronutrients - including vitamins A, D, E, C, and B complex vitamins, along with potassium, zinc, and magnesium - is formulated to provide the following benefits:


    --  Diminish effects from active exertion;
    --  Decrease oxidative stress;
    --  Sustain hydration at an optimal level;
    --  Improve repair after strenuous activity; and
    --  Support reduction of inflammation that naturally occurs during exercise.

In addition to its functional benefits, HeadOn is made with no artificial flavors, sweeteners, high-fructose corn syrup, colors or preservatives. Launching initially at select independent grocery stores, drug stores, convenience stores, and gyms in Colorado, HeadOn will roll out in other U.S. markets through 2015. The product is available in four delicious flavors: Fruit Punch, Orange Mango, Lemon Lime and Blueberry Pomegranate.
