Former professional athlete Erick Kozin wanted his entry into hydration to stand out in both flavor and appearance, leading to the creation of SAINT. The newcomer has deliberately gone with a black can and a broader target market, with the drink aimed everyday hydration rather than performance and in the gym. Beneath that presentation, the beverage brings together an electrolyte blend, prickly pear juice, and the calming affect of theanine.
The complete formula breakdown of the SAINT drink starts with a combined 600mg of electrolytes in its slim 12oz can, split between 200mg each of sodium and potassium, 150mg of chloride, and 50mg of magnesium. There is also 200% of the daily value of the powerhouse antioxidant vitamin C, and 50mg of theanine to calm and relax.
There is some nutrition to the SAINT beverage thanks to its agave syrup and use of prickly pear juice, at 5g of sugar from 6g of total carbohydrates and still relatively moderate calorie count of 30. The opening menu consists of Watermelon, Juicy Mango, Cucumber & Lime, and Fresh Pineapple, all with that 600mg of electrolytes and 30 calories. Like most newcomers, the best place to go to get your hands on the brand and product is its own online store at livesainted.com, where you can get the standard case of a dozen cans at $30.99.
