Why I Created Core Balance: Wellness in a Bottle

I’ve spent years searching for a beverage brand that actually tastes good and uses quality ingredients. Dealing with bloating, poor digestion, and acne was a sign my gut wasn’t happy and definitely wasn’t being supported the way it needed. I tried switching to hot tea, but even that didn’t feel like the answer: tea bags that can leach unwanted chemicals when steeped, and low-quality herbs that lacked color, aroma, and freshness.

So, I did what I always do, I created what I couldn’t find. I designed Plateau Botanicals tea kits using bleach-free bags and fresher, more vibrant herbs. My gut health improved, but it came at the cost of time. As a new grad and entrepreneur, I need something that is simple, quick, and easy to take anywhere. Most iced teas on the market contain 40+ grams of added sugar per bottle, rely on preservatives, and leave me feeling bloated, tired, and my blood sugar spiking. I want something that supports my gut health and still delivers that classic iced tea taste.

I did it again, and I created my own iced tea. I tested countless combinations and ingredient ratios, playing around with brewing time, citrus levels, and sweetener options until I landed on Core Balance. It’s wellness in a bottle. Made with Plateau Botanicals’ signature herbal blend, a kick of ginger, and naturally sweetened with raw cane sugar, organic agave, and monk fruit extract, this beverage hydrates, contains antioxidants, and supports digestive wellness. Toss it in your gym bag for quick energy, keep it in your fridge for post-night-out hydration, or grab it in the morning as a refreshing replacement for coffee. Reset your wellness routine with Core Balance.

Shake well, sip well, be well.
