Britvic Purdeys

Purdey's: I am a huge fan of 'energy' drinks but sometimes I have to avoid caffeine either due to a migraine or just the fact that every now and then I actually need sleep! When I am avoiding caffeine I don't want decaffeinated coffee/cola, (what's the point), so I go for Purdey's instead. Purdey's is not like your typical energy drink in that it contains neither taurine nor caffeine. Instead Purdey's uses a blend of grape and apple juice, botanical extracts, (including Ginseng), sparkling spring water and multi-vitamins to provide a pick-me-up whenever needed. Purdey's contains 33% of the following vitamins/minerals: Thiamin, (vitamin B1), ...  Read the complete review

Earlier this year I was rather ill with muscular spasms, in fact I spent a total of six weeks bed/housebound and not eating as I was in constant and acute pain. Weight fell off me and I was in a Catch 22 of needing to maintain my food/drink intake as I am on very strong prescription drugs for Osteoarthritis, but losing my appetite completely made life very difficult in maintaining manageable pain levels and keeping healthy to recover quicker... Because I ended up looking so gaunt and ill I was advised by my GP on a home visit to start drinking energy drinks so at least I would stay hydrated and be taking some goodness in my body until I felt up to ...  Read the complete review

Of late I've been feeling really under the weather. Nothing serious but I've had little energy and not been sleeping great at all. I've been taking energy boosting pills and drinking alot of energy drinks but nothing has helped me. I got to a point yesterday I had drank 2 litres of original lucozade and several cans of red bull through-out the day and still felt rotten and phased out and couldn't wait for bedtime lol. So today I had to go the hospital and to the Dr's and everything and cos I'd paid my bus fair and the places I needed to go were in town I decided I should look round town as well and grab a few bits en route! Halfway through my shopping trip I ...  Read the complete review

Purdey's. My dad first introduced me to Purdeys and I first thought it was an old fashioned drink, sorta the old man stereotype drink, but it turns out it's a new wave of energy drink, but different. It works on vitimins and not the boring box standard caffine. The taste is rather sweet, but it also has a 'malty' taste, similar to the smell of Multi-Vitimins. Price wise, I always thought it was quite expensive due to the bottle being made of glass, why they don't replace it with a can or plastic bottles I don't know. When I used to see them in the supermarkets a few years ago they were well over £1 a bottle. Today I saw one in Tesco and paid 50p ...  Read the complete review

I love this drink. They are usually well over a pound and I only ever bought them when Holland and Barrett did them for 99 pence occasionally. I just found them in Asda for 60-something pence. wow! bargain! I think I have found a new addiction. It is a health drink that is meant to revitalise you and give you a little lift. The vitamin B2 helps your metabolism and someone once mentioned that it is therefore good if you are on a diet - who can say? It surely must be better than coke with vitamins and minerals and lots of natural goodies... surely? It is lightly sparkling without being too gassy and tastes a little like Red Bull but without the ...  Read the complete review
