My entrepreneurial and large com- pany executive experience brings both innovation and structure to up-and-coming small to midsize companies and brands. In 2014, Greg Doring and his wife, Adri- enne, couldn't sleep with the rapid expansion of their family and work-related activities. They took it upon themselves to come up with a solution and created Berry Sleepy, an innovative and healthy way to sleep without the side effects of prescription and over the counter medications. Tim Prier then joined the company for the same reason as the Dor- ings. After setting up the foundation, Tim and Greg added me to their team because I was looking for sleeping solutions that were nat- ural like Berry Sleepy. At Natural Products West, my team and I upgraded the formula of the berry-based sleep aid and added three new delivery systems, including a liquid shot. During our research over the last five months, we saw the same need in the energy category as we witnessed in the sleep category. The re- search results were overwhelmingly in favor of a natural product that had the same effi- ciency and performance as the energy prod- ucts on the market today. We found that 60 percent of consumers would purchase new Berry Awake shot if it were available. Berry Sleepy is made up of a proprietary sleep and relaxation blend of all-natural tart cherries, passion fruit, goji berries and valer- ian root extract. The base of this formula is all berries, with 500mg of prebiotics to aid in re- placing and healing cells in the digestive tract. Berry Awake is made up of a proprietary energy blend of green coffee berries extract, guarana seed extract, bacopa leaf extract and ginseng. In addition, we added 2,000mg of pea protein to aid your energy boost for the day. The product is kosher, non-GMO, vegan and made in the USA. We had a combined Berry Sleep/Berry Awake launch at Expo West 2017, and we have one planned for the 2017 National Association of Chain Drug Stores Total Store Expo and the Expo East Natural Show 2017, all launching pads for every class of trade. We will be featured on "Modern Living with Kathy Ireland" on WE and Bloomberg International Television. We will be on television in all major markets be- ginning in March 2018. Berry Sleepy's all-natural ingredients pro- vide the consumer with a high-quality sleep aid with no side effects. We are providing this product in veg caps and liquid shots, all easy delivery methods. Millennial con- sumers are looking for a healthy, natural al- ternative to energy-boosting products that they can consume daily. Millennials have driven the coffee and energy segment into high-growth categories, but they are looking for natural products that have the effect of coffee and energy product without the side effects. We can provide this with new great- tasting Berry Awake. Visit Healthy Ventures at booth #8313. Healthy Ventures (Cont'd. from p. 1) years. Honey gets its natural sweetness from flower nectar. The type of flower bees gather their nectar from determines the taste, color and texture of the honey they make. No two honeys are alike!

The honey is harvested from the bees and after six months of natural fermentation in ceramic vats, the floral notes come through, creating the perfect culinary vine- gar. Brush onto vegetables and meats, drizzle over salads or enjoy as a mildly sweet mari- nade. It's also perfect for adding a unique burst of flavor to teas or served cold over ice. GloryBee Pumpkin Spice Honey is filled with all the traditional flavors of homemade pumpkin pie and accented with the classic sweetness of clover blossom honey. Made with quality spices such as nutmeg and gin- ger, this unique honey blend is sure to be- come a household favorite. It's perfect on top of waffles, ice creams or beverages, or try using it in baking recipes to add some cozy spiced sweetness.
