Why do we use Sweet Potato Juice and Coconut Water from concentrates?

Let's first consider why we use Sweet Potato Juice and and Coconut Water. Because they are rich in all the right nutrients, that are scientifically proven to help us perform during exercise.

And we evaporate some of the water content of each, to form concentrates, for two main reasons.

Firstly, to conserve and safeguard all of the rich nutrients, without using controversial chemical preservatives. By pasteurizing and then freezing the concentrated ingredients. This makes it impossible for harmful bacteria to grow, which is especially important when transporting these ingredients from as far afield as South Africa and Indonesia.

Second, it means we ship less liquid volume across the oceans, emitting  less CO2, which is better for our planet.

We use Brown Rice syrup, because of its complimentary carbohydrate profile, critical in our precise formulations, to give you balanced nutrients, that help you to perform. 

The syrup is made by boiling brown rice, to breakdown the high starch content. Too much starch can cause gastrointestinal distress, the last thing you want during exercise.

Agave is a Mexican plant that is typically used to make tequila. Yet, by extracting the sap and boiling it, the resulting syrup has a carbohydrate profile that is low on the glycemic index. It plays an important role in our formulations, in making sure that you get constant energy during your sports. 

Our Branched-Chain Amino Acids come from Non-GMO corn and not meat. They play an important role in reducing muscle damage during exercise, as well as helping to improve focus.

Our Arginine, also from Non-GMO corn, is an amino acid that has an important role to play in reducing ammonia from your blood. Doing so, contributes to recovery from hard training.

Our colouring foods are entirely natural, straight from the food source itself. In this case black carrots, which give Perple its distinctive Orchid to violet colour. And for a bit of fun, we’ve kept the colour the same across all flavours.

All of our flavourings, to produce the tantilising Perple tastes, making it easy for you to get down during your sports, are from natural food sources.

Our acidity regulators are organic compounds naturally found in plants. Ours come from Non-GMO corn and are important to maintain the right PH for Perple drinks. This, together with our pastuerisation techniques, and Tetrapak packaging, means that Perple can stay fresh (in the cupboard!) for 12 months, without using controversial chemical preservatives.
