On Episode #189 of the PricePlow Podcast, we bring you a special panel discussion from SupplySide Global 2025 featuring the brilliant minds behind CREATEA Mighty Mango, the groundbreaking collaborative concept beverage that’s redefining what’s possible in functional drink formulation. Building on the viral success of last year’s XPO NRG, CREATEA takes beverage innovation to the next level by focusing on commercial viability, natural ingredients, and solving one of the industry’s biggest challenges: stable creatine in ready-to-drink formats.

Ben moderates this powerhouse panel featuring Steve Fink (PLT Health Solutions), Brent Petersen (Glanbia Nutritionals), Shawn Wells (NNB Nutrition), Katie McCammack (Lacore Nutraceuticals), and Michael Lelah (NutriScience Innovations). Together, these industry leaders discuss the technical breakthroughs, formulation challenges, and collaborative spirit that made CREATEA possible. From CreaBev’s revolutionary creatine stability to Zynamite S’s beverage-ready cognitive enhancement, SweetVantage’s natural sweetener breakthrough, and InnovaBean’s sustainable natural caffeine, this panel reveals how setting competition aside creates products that elevate the entire industry.
