Derby schools to supply daily vitamin drinks to students with Stix Drinks partnership

Bristol firm, Stix Drinks who supply NHS hospitals and the government with immunity-boosting vitamin drinks, are now working with schools in Derby so that students can also feel the benefits of Vit Stix.

Derbyshire County Council has distributed over 10,000 Stix between multiple schools in the city to give students the opportunity to boost their immunity with the low-cost drink.

Stix Drinks' help people stay healthy and hydrated, but also reduce the use of plastic. They want to inform and educate students now to help change the ways we use plastic and encourage them to use a reusable bottle when having a drink (and a healthy one).

Encouraging the use of reusable bottles in schools, Vit Stix is a single, low-calorie portion sachet that contains 50% of the recommended Vitamin D daily intake and enhances water flavour. Stix drinks are easy to use, simply pour the sachet into a bottle or cup of 500ml of water and you have a Tropical Citrus or Red Berry vitamin drink. This reduces students' need to purchase multiple drink products in other plastic bottles and an added benefit of cutting costs for parents.

Not only this, Vit Stix also contain other vitamins including; B5, 6, 12 and C and Zinc which all improve cognitive and physical performance. Stix’s aim is to enhance children’s productivity in classrooms boosting their energy with a Vit Stix.

Vit Stix are a great way to boost children’s immunity. Now more than ever, vitamins are needed to support the body to strengthen your immune systems. Winter, known as flu season, means there is a rise in people needing and wanting to keep themselves strong to protect them from unwanted viruses including coronavirus. Stix are for everyone including children of all ages.

Stix Drinks allows for vitamins to be taken easily and also increases the amount of water you drink without you even noticing. Hydration is key to enhancing cognitive and physical performance and both Derbyshire Council and Stix Drinks hope that students can benefit through the consumption of Vit Stix.

Team Stix helps everyone to feel hydrated and healthy all year round! For more information on the products available and to purchase, visit www.stixdrinks.com

About Stix Drinks

Squash Stix was the first product launched by Tom Anderson-Dixon. Whilst on a placement year from UWE Bristol with Marks & Spencer, Tom noticed staff members bringing in bottles of squash and taking them to the water cooler. Making a coffee with a jigger pot of milk he commented “we should put squash into these single portions to prevent people bringing in bottles” and alas, an idea was born. Squash Stix are now supplied into hospitals for patients, hotel bedrooms as an alternative to tea and coffee, airlines and offices at across the UK for employee hydration. The addition of Vit Stix has grown the business into the retail sector. Vit Stix are packed with Vitamins B5/B6/B12, C, D and Zinc to naturally boost energy and immunity. They are 99% less plastic than bottled vitamin waters. At 7 years old, the business is growing from strength to strength, and hopes to grow the range across multiple drinks.
