‘Mortal Power’ is Mortal's first non-kombucha product, helping the company expand into the nutritional beverages industry.
Prebiotics are added to the high-performance drink, which comes in flavors like ‘Berry Cherry + Collagen,’ ‘Prickly Pear Watermelon + Magnesium,’ ‘Green Tea Lime w/Caffeine,’ and ‘Hibiscus Ginger + Electrolytes.’ Each can includes 20-30 calories, 12 oz of juice, and less than 4 grams of sugar. The ‘Mortal Power’ beverage costs $2.79 per unit.
Mortal’s founder and CEO, Becca Schepps, recognizes that "[t]he launch of Power is a major evolution for our company. We always wanted to be more than a kombucha company. Last summer we launched an alcoholic offering, and with this prebiotic sparkling water we estimate that by the end of 2022, 50 percent of our revenue will be from non-traditional kombucha products."
