Bodyarmor SuperDrink (stylized as BODYARMOR) is an American brand of sports drink owned by The Coca-Cola Company.[1] Products launched under the brand include: Sports, "Lyte" Sports, "Edge Sports," and "SportWater".

Mike Repole created the drink in 2011. In the summer of 2018, The Coca-Cola Company purchased a minority stake in the company to position Bodyarmor as a premium sports beverage above its own Powerade brand.[2] The purchase by Coca-Cola made them the second largest shareholder. In November 2021, Coca-Cola acquired the remaining 85% stake of the company.[3]

Legal issues

In 2012, Baltimore's Under Armour Inc. settled its trademark infringement lawsuit[15] against California-based Body Armor Nutrition LLC. The suit claimed that Bodyarmor used variations of Under Armour's name and logo to sell its sports beverage products. Terms of the settlement have not been disclosed. The lawsuit had alleged that Body Armor's name, the “interlocking” logo on its sports drink bottles and use of the phrase “Protect + Restore,” infringe on Under Armour's trademarks.
