Mana Introduces the New Drink Mark 8. More Powerful, Delicious and Sustainable Than Ever Before

Mana introduces the new Drink Mark 8. With an even more powerful nutritional formula, new delicious flavours and more sustainable packaging with a starting price of just €3.60 per serving.

We are introducing the new Drink Mark 8. With an even more powerful nutritional formula, new flavours and more sustainable packaging with a starting price of just €3.60 per serving. For the first time, we're introducing a new 400 ml bottle made from sustainable mono-material. It can be recycled to make infinitely more packaging, which was unimaginable in the previous design. Another novelty is our Lime Cake flavour, which takes the product range to a whole new level.

Drink Mark 8 brings new flavours, an even more improved recipe, all in a new larger bottle made of infinitely recyclable mono-material. The new generation of Mana delivers a phenomenal experience that takes users' productivity and creativity to the next level. Customers can order the new ManaDrinks today, with shipments beginning as early as April.

"We are excited to take the new Mark 8 even further. We're coming to market with an improved formula, a new divine flavour and an expanded product line in a compact new sustainable bottle design. And that's without changing the price. This combination of benefits represents tremendous value, especially for users around the world. I believe Mana Mark 8 will perfectly serve everyone who wants affordable food that is unmatched in nutritional content on the planet." says Jakub Krejcik, our CEO.

In the design of the new recipe, we have again focused in detail on the composition and representation of nutrients and bioactive ingredients. As a result, Mark 8 perfectly meets the needs of a varied nutrient intake and contains everything the body needs for peak functioning of body and mind.

The composition of the new generation of Mana is enriched with the amino acids taurine and L-carnitine. Each serving thus supports proper digestion and fat metabolism. In the new Mark 8 formula, we have also newly included ingredients enriched with bioactive forms of selenium. In addition, the formula is newly enhanced with chromium picolinate, which is considered the best source of chromium.

The new Lime Cake flavour offers a refreshing and sweet dessert treat with fruity lime notes. It may taste like cake, but it is a nutritionally perfectly balanced meal with a starting price of just €3.60 per serving.

With Mark 8 we're also introducing a new flavour of lime cheesecake. It offers a refreshing and sweet treat with fruity lime notes. It may taste like cake, but it's a nutritionally perfectly balanced meal.

For 8 years we have been producing sustainable food that is brought to you in packaging that can preserve its nutritional value throughout its shelf life. We are committed to ecological food production, not only for people but also for the planet. That's why we've improved the packaging with the new Mark 8.

The new ManaDrink bottle is made from so-called mono-material (one type of PET material). The huge advantage is the absolute recyclability and reusability of the so-called RE-PET packaging that we are going to use in the future. Unfortunately, this is not possible with beverage carton packaging. The promises and ambitions that were set out have not been fulfilled and to date only the paper component of this type of packaging can be effectively recycled. Unfortunately, we cannot produce a new bottle from such packaging.

The number of recycling PET bottles is almost infinite, given their production technology. The infrastructure for recycling is also much better established compared to beverage carton packaging. In Germany, for example, there is already a deposit system for PET bottles, which we are using for the new Mark 8. PET bottle recycling has increased throughout Europe in the long term. By 2020, 50 % of total production in the EU has been recycled. The United States is a bit behind Europe with a 23 % recycling rate of total production, but just like in Europe, recycling PET bottles is becoming easier. With carton packaging, on the other hand, we are not able to reuse the packaging.

400 ml. This is the new volume of the Mark 8 bottle. Thanks to the larger content of the Mark 8 bottle, Mana is more filling and hydrates the body even better. The energy value remains the same. One Drink Mark 8 delivers 330 kcal of a perfectly balanced macronutrient ratio of 21 % protein, 35 % carbohydrate and 44 % fat of the total energy content. The larger volume per serving of the drink activates nutrients and leads to improved texture and taste.
