The RTD beverages also are low in sodium and high in potassium with natural flavors and sweeteners and no colors or dyes from artificial sources. In 2017, the company launched BODYARMOR LYTE, which has all the same nutrients as BODYARMOR Sports Drink but has no sugar added and only 20 calories per bottle.
The limited-edition bottles will be available nationwide for a suggested retail price of $2.99 for a 16.9-ounce bottle.
