Kyowa Hakko USA Celebrates Launch of CENTR Enhanced Functional Sparkling Water featuring Cognizin® Citicoline
The beverage is a NEXTY award finalist at Natural Products Expo West
Kyowa Hakko USA is excited to announce the launch of CENTR Enhanced sparkling water, a functional beverage with a blend of nootropic and adaptogenic ingredients that includes its Cognizin® citicoline.
The new functional beverage is being recognized at the upcoming Natural Products Expo West trade show as a NEXTY Finalist for “Best New Functional Food or Beverage.” CENTR launched the product, its first outside the CBD category, in response to overwhelming consumer demand for nootropics shown to support brain health, like Cognizin®.
Cognizin® is Kyowa Hakko’s branded form of citicoline, a clinically proven brain health nutrient and nootropic that has been shown to support comprehensive brain health.* It is currently available in more than 200 product on the market globally.
“Our number one goal is to get Cognizin® into the hands of more consumers, and that’s why we’re so excited about this partnership,” said Karen Todd, MBA, RD, Vice President Global Brand Marketing, Kyowa Hakko USA, Inc. “We’ve put in the work through numerous rigorous human trials to affirm that Cognizin® does what we say it does, and we are so proud that CENTR Brands recognizes this clinical proof.”
CENTR Enhanced is initially available on the brand’s website with thousands of retail locations coming soon.
Winners of the NEXTY Awards will be revealed on March 1 on the Natural Products Expo West virtual platform. Both Kyowa Hakko (booth 3870) and CENTR Brands (booth 2780) will also be attending the Natural Products Expo West trade show starting March 9 in Anaheim, California. Attendees can sample CENTR’s new enhanced water at either booth.
