VANCOUVER, May 7, 2018 /CNW/ - In addition to a new look, Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV; OTC: SNOVF) (the "Company" or "Koios"), launched four new flavours today, as part of its rebranded, enhanced line of great-tasting, low-calorie and nutritional-dense beverage products. The new flavours are Pear Guava, Pomegranate Acai, Peach Mango and Blood Orange, bringing the total to six brain-healthy beverage products now in production.

Koios has worked with some of the best food scientists in the U.S. to develop a proprietary drink formula shown to stimulate short-term cognitive function, as well as support memory function over the long term. The enhanced ingredients of all natural products and nootropics include superfood lion's mane mushroom, which Whole Foods recently listed as a trending ingredient in its annual functional ingredients guide; and L-Theanine, an amino acid that has calming effects on the brain.

"We've spent the past year re-imagining what was possible and asking ourselves: 'Can we make Koios even more effective for the health-conscious consumer, while substantially enhancing the flavor profile?'" said CEO Chris Miller.

"Like any company, we are relentless in our pursuit to create the best products in their respective categories. Our newest iterations reflect this passion. From Day One, we have been and continue to search for combinations of natural compounds that can support brain function, without over-stimulating consumers with caffeine."

Koios, which began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange on May 1st, 2018, is exploiting the functional beverage market. This industry is exploding thanks to a new generation of health-conscious consumers who are demanding healthy and nutritious beverage choices in response to North America's growing obesity epidemic.

The Company also has a new look, after spending the year rebranding itself.

"We wanted our packaging to be unique," said Miller. "We make functional beverages not energy drinks, so we made the packaging more simple, elegant and beautiful. We lead with our ingredients instead of our brand name. As consumers look for more natural products that can enrich their lives and the world at large, we wanted our branding to reflect this. We wanted it to look like what's inside the can – simple, clean and natural."
