Product honored at Diet, Vitamin & Sports Nutrition Show
NEW YORK -- Sheets Energy Strips has received the 2011 Best New Product Award at ECRM (Efficient Collaborative Retail Marketing) Diet, Vitamin & Sports Nutrition Show that was recently held July 17-20 in ChampionsGate, Fla.

Sheets paper-thin, individually wrapped, dissolvable pocket-sized strips are placed on the tongue, begin to dissolve instantly and are easily swallowed and digested, delivering hours of energy.

Sheets uses proprietary technology that provides a delivery system enabling consumers to get fast-acting energy, anytime, anywhere, with no bottles [image-nocss] or cans. With multiple flavors, Sheets will not spill or melt, has no calories, no carbohydrates, no sugar and requires no water.

Sheets was co-founded by basketball star LeBron James and brand executives Warren Struhl, Jesse Itzler and Maverick Carter.

Since its May launch, Sheets is currently available at GNC and is pursing deals with convenience store and other retail channels.
