Kansas University Athletics Pulls Vitaminwater Flavors

Editor, Nutraceuticals World

The Kansas University Athletics Department has removed six flavors of Vitaminwater from vending machines in the athletics department because they allegedly contain “banned or impermissible substances” that have the potential to affect a student athlete’s eligibility. “Banned” means athletes are not able to use them at all while “impermissible” ingredients are fine for athletes to use so long as universities do not provide them. The two products with banned ingredients were Energy tropical citrus and Rescue green tea, because they have added caffeine, which is on the banned substance list. Four other flavors—Power-C dragonfruit, B-relaxed jackfruit-guava, Vital-T lemon tea-rooibos and Balance cran-grapefruit—contain impermissible substances such as taurine, L-theanine, rooibos tea extract and glucosamine.
