Forbes Magazine named Celsius Holdings an attractive investment for entrepreneurs as a company that is innovating in the food & beverage industry, specifically in the "fat-burning drinks" category

BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 5, 2015 / Celsius Holdings, Inc., (OTC: CELH) the creator and marketer of Celsius(R), the world's first Negative Calorie beverage backed by clinical science, has been identified by Forbes Magazine as a company that entrepreneurs should pay attention to in the food and beverage industry because of its dominance in an emerging industry trend: fat-burning drinks.

Celsius is the world's first and only negative calorie drink. Backed by multiple clinical studies, drinking Celsius before exercise has been proven to help burn up to 93% more body fat, burn 100 calories and more per serving, boost metabolism, provide clean energy and accelerate results of any weight loss program. It comes in five delicious flavors, carbonated and non-carbonated, and also in powder stick packets that can be mixed with water. Celsius contains no sugar, no high fructose corn syrup, no aspartame, no preservatives, no artificial flavors or colors, and is low in sodium.

Forbes Magazine took notice of Celsius' product, noting that the company has been innovating in this trend for over a decade, selling its research-backed beverages in retailers such as GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, major grocery stores, Amazon and 24 Hour Fitness. Celsius pioneered the first and only calorie burning drink to meet the growing demand from consumers for more functional beverages in the fat-burning and weight loss arena.

"We are proud to be recognized as an innovator in this space as we produced, and maintain, having the first and only clinically proven negative calorie and fat-burning beverage," said Gerry David, CEO. "Our extensive growth on a global basis confirms the point made in the Forbes article regarding the trend and its appeal to industry entrepreneurs, which continues to fuel us in our research and endeavors as we continue to develop as a brand providing consumers a partner in their weight loss efforts."

With larger brands now dedicating efforts to develop similar products, Celsius views this as a positive sign resulting from their first-to-adopt mindset regarding the trend. Some of Celsius' key company member's signal their standing in the industry, including investor Carl DeSantis, founder of Rexall-Sundown, and original Shark Tank member Kevin Harrington, a member of the Celsius Board of Directors. Celsius hopes to continue increasing its presence in the category and believes involving key businesspeople as it does now will propel their brand forward as the industry develops further.

Celsius is powered by the scientifically tested calorie-burning MetaPlus(R) formula that is clinically shown to help consumers burn an additional 100 calories per serving, boost metabolism and experience 93% greater fat loss and healthy energy. Celsius' scientific studies have also proven to accelerate transformation results along with any weight loss plan.
