Glukos effectively tying new energy products to Women's World Cup

PHOENIX - The Glukos Company on Monday sent the first production batch of its fruit punch tablets to United States Midfielder Tobin Heath prior to the team's opening soccer match in Canada. The latest product in the line of Glukos performance energy offerings, the fruit punch tablets are currently available at several sports specialty retail stores throughout the country.

 

"Fruit punch tablets are my favorite because I can easily pop one in my mouth and know it's providing me with instant energy," said Heath.  "The next few matches are by far the biggest of my career and I trust Glukos to provide the all-natural fuel my body needs to compete at this highest level on this national stage."

 

Coinciding with the start of the international women's soccer tournament, Glukos launched "Goals for Glukos." The campaign will provide consumers an opportunity to win select prizes, including Glukos product and autographed Tobin Heath gear, for following @glukosenergy on Twitter.
