CHICO, Calif. (March 10, 2008) - Spring into this sports season with two refreshing new flavors from R.W. Knudsen Family® Recharge®: Green Apple and Mixed Berry. Recharge, an all-natural sports drink, contains 50 percent juice, no added sugar - and absolutely nothing artificial to slow athletes down.

With warm weather sports around the corner, athletes need to be primed to avoid dehydration. According to Mayoclinic.com even mild dehydration can affect athleticism, causing lethargy and decreased performance. Dehydration begins when the body loses a mere 2 percent of its water content. Replenishing these fluids is necessary for sustained energy, strength and focus. Putting fluid intake off until after symptoms begin may be too late. Prevention is the road to hydration success.

Each 8-ounce serving of Recharge contains 25 milligrams of sodium and 100 milligrams of potassium, an appropriate balance of electrolytes to help the body stay hydrated for optimal performance.

 Also available in Grape, Lemon, Tropical, Orange, and Organic Lemon, Recharge is the key to every athlete's training plan, with satisfying flavors that encourage drinking - on and off the field. Its natural and organic ingredients make it a vital choice for active, health-conscious families.

Whether climbing Mt. Rainier or fine-tuning your bump, set and spike, Recharge is convenient to carry in #1 recyclable plastic bottles.  Green Apple and Mixed Berry will be available this summer at both natural and conventional supermarkets nationwide.

On the market since 1985, Recharge is the top-selling naturalsports drink in the U.S.  Suggested retail price is $1.99 to $2.49 per 32-ounce bottle.  For more information, please visit www.knudsenjuices.com.
