NEW YORK, May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

According to a report by Grand View Research, the global nonalcoholic beverage market is expected to reach USD 1.60 trillion by 2025, growing at CAGR a 5.8% over the forecast period. Numerous studies have proved that obesity is linked to higher consumption of carbonated soft drinks. Overtime, this has led to the development of calorie-free or low-calorie drinks, such as functional beverages, bottled water, and fruit beverages. The report indicates that rising societal awareness toward serious health problems is acting as the biggest driver for nonalcoholic beverage market. The industry is reshaping itself by changing the orientation from carbonated soft drinks to non-nutritive low-calorie beverages. Koios Beverage Corp. SNOVF, Celsius Holdings, Inc.

The functional beverage sector is expected to develop into the fastest growing product in the market over the forecast period. Mordor Intelligence indicates that the functional beverage market was valued at USD 26.2 billion in 2015, at an expected CAGR of 6.5% by 2023. According to Future Market Insights, "Functional beverages are non-alcoholic drinks that keeps one's body hydrated and provide overall nutritional well-being. These are fortified drinks that prevent or help address health issues across all age groups… Energy drinks is the largest segment in functional beverages followed by sports drinks and nutraceutical drinks… North America is the largest market for functional beverages as it contains innovative varieties of drinks that are customized for all age groups and strata."

Koios Beverage Corp. SNOVF also listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange under KBEV. Earlier last week the company announced that, "it has entered into an agreement with NeuraPerformance/Neuroptimize Brain Center whereby NeuraPerformance/Neuroptimize will perform full clinical brain scans on Koios users. NeuraPerformance/Neuroptimize is the go-to brain lab and physiotherapy clinic for Colorado's elite athletes, including the Denver Broncos football team. The centre specializes in brain mapping, brainwave optimization, enhancing sports performance, baseline concussion testing and treatment.

NeuraPerformance/Neuroptimize will also stock and sell Koios beverages in the future, at its numerous locations.

"Our respective companies have a shared vision and passion for mental health and performance," said Rachel Ragsdale, director of brain mapping, neurofeedback and counselling at NeuraPerformance/Neuroptimize. "Helping them demonstrate the efficacy of their products is something we truly look forward to doing.  Additionally, adding their products to our platform of services creates tremendous value for our clients and the people we are trying to help.  Mixing technical science with their stellar products is a win for everyone."

The full clinical brain-scan study may provide evidence that Koios products may enhance cognition over the long term and help the Company fine-tune its beverages' performance.

"For many years we have been looking for the right partner and platform to test our technologies and products," said Chris Miller, CEO of Koios. "Not only will this clinical trial further substantiate our product formulation, but the data collected will pave the way to creating better technologies within our portfolio, and fulfilling our mission of creating some of the most functional organic products that support and enhance brain health and performance."

The initial results of the study are expected in July."

This latest authorization adds credence to the brand's pioneering position as a proven, functional fitness drink. Retailers are viewing CELSIUS as providing a point of differentiation to consumers, which gives the brand a reason for being alongside stalwart, traditional energy set competitors. The trend forward fitness brand has gained momentum against well-heeled energy brands, within the highly coveted energy drink set.
