New beverage delivers breakthrough blend of electrolytes with 10 calories, natural flavors, no artificial sweeteners or colors as U.S. distribution expands

SEATTLE, Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the official launch of Más+ by Messi in Miami this summer, the new hydration beverage from soccer star Lionel Messi is expanding distribution to deliver "positive hydration" in even more states across the country. Más+ by Messi is now available in Washington at the following retailers: Target, Fred Meyer, Haggen, Albertsons and Safeway.

Since selling out online in less than an hour at launch, fans across the globe have been buzzing with excitement to score their first taste of Más+ by Messi following its debut in June.

When Lionel Messi couldn’t find a hydration drink that met his needs, he went to work on his own. Today Messi expands U.S. distribution of Más+ by Messi™, a next-generation hydration drink created for everyone in every moment that calls for hydration. Because everyone deserves to feel like a champion in every part of their life.

Más+ by Messi™ delivers a balanced blend of electrolytes with 10 calories, natural flavors, no artificial sweeteners or colors, vitamins and more — and is available in select retailers nationwide in four sensational flavors named after inspirational milestones in Leo Messi’s life: Miami Punch, Orange d'Or, Berry Copa Crush, and Limón Lime League.

Messi went to work on Más+ because he wanted a drink that had quality ingredients without compromising on flavor or taste. Más+ by Messi offers a breakthrough blend of electrolytes, vitamins* and antioxidants, with natural flavors, no artificial sweeteners or colors and no caffeine. With 10 calories and 1g of cane sugar per 16.9oz bottle, and 7 calories and less than 1g of cane sugar per 12oz can, Más+ is a beverage Messi is proud to share with his own family, friends and teammates.

"The positive initial reaction to Más+ reinforces the consumer need for a hydration beverage that delivers more of the good with none of the bad," said Rishi Daing, Executive Vice President, Más+ Next Generation Beverage Co. "Más+ by Messi is setting a new standard for the hydration category and is beloved by fans for its unrivaled taste, quality ingredients and sensational flavors, and we can't wait for even more fans to be able to try Más+ for themselves with our expanded distribution."

Más+ by Messi is available in four flavors in 16.9oz bottles and in four-flavor variety 12-packs of cans. The new drink comes in four sensational flavors, loved by Messi and named after inspirational milestones in his life:
