Bucked Up, a supplement, beverage and lifestyle brand, is expanding its RTD lineup with two new launches: Drive Hydration and Refreshers.

Drive Hydration is Bucked Up's performance-focused hydration drink for athletes, professionals and anyone who desires more than water. Each 16oz can delivers key electrolytes — sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and zinc — plus nootropic ingredients for focus and mental clarity. 

Refreshers is Bucked Up's crisp, carbonated functional alternative to soda or coffee. Each sleek 12oz can packs 100mg caffeine, BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio, L-Theanine and N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine — zero sugar, no artificial colors.

Both launches expand Bucked Up's growing RTD footprint — giving consumers functional options for hydration, focus and performance throughout the day.

KEYWORDS: Caffeine electrolytes L-Theanine nootropics ready to drink (RTD) beverages
