Passionate about Ginger

January 12th, 2010 In Chris Reed, Founder and CEO | No Comments

Reed’s gets calls and emails every week for different uses people have for our drinks. Radio host Gary Meier of Chicago mega station WGN uses our chews as a digestive stomach settling agent. We hear from customers that use our drinks for migraines and that this is the only thing that allieviates the pain. The theory is ginger is anti-inflamatory and migraines are caused by inflamation. What excites me about 2010 is this is the year we will start getting our products out into distribution packaged for the drug channel. Its been fun disguising my ginger tonic as a soda for 20 years secretly knowing that the product is helping people. Now we can come out of the closet for the customers who can benefit from ginger’s natural healing properties. We will again present at the American Society of Clinical Oncologists but this year we will have our newly packaged ginger beverage for the drug trade. We have been supplying a few oncology clinics with our drinks with great feedback from patients. This year will see an expansion of that part of our business. Its one thing to quench a persons thirst, its quite another to alievate their pain or nausea while fighting a life threatening disease. This is truly becoming a fulfillment of my personal goals for my products.

Chinese Buying all the Ginger up for Swine Flu

December 19th, 2009 In Chris Reed, Founder and CEO | 3 Comments

Chinese marketplaces are causing us grief because the billion plus populace is using ginger and honey brews to prevent swine flu. This has taken the ginger farmers by surprise and making us think about buying a ginger farm in Hawaii.  Maybe that makes our drinks a preventative for swine flu. I hope so. So far so good.
