1Above hits new heights with Lydia Ko

The world’s No. 1 flight drink signs sponsorship deal with the world’s No. 1 women’s golf pro Lydia Ko

AUCKLAND, NZ – 1Above -- the flight drink, designed to help you fly well and arrive ready, today announced it is getting behind the world’s top ranked women’s golfer – New Zealand sporting sensation Lydia Ko.

The new sponsorship, signed and sealed last night, will see one of the brightest sporting stars in New Zealand history competing around the world with the support of Kiwi--born flight drink, 1Above.

“Lydia’s representing New Zealand on the world stage every week and making us all very proud of her” says Stephen Smith, CEO of 1Above.

“1Above is a uniquely NZ brand with a vast global opportunity and we’re thrilled to be helping Lydia and her support team arrive ready to perform every time”.

The 17--year--old Kiwi golf prodigy is ranked No.

1 in the world, making her the youngest player, male or female, to reach the top ranking – beating Tiger Woods by almost four years.

“I’m excited to have 1Above supporting me.

I’m traveling so frequently and need to be 100 percent as soon as I land.

With 1Above, I know I am going to arrive ready to take on the best female golfers from around the world,” said Lydia Ko.

“New Zealand is really important to me, and I’m proud to be supporting a small Kiwi start-- up as we both embark on our journeys to lead the world."

1Above features Pycnogenol®, a natural pine bark extract that is a key active ingredient in reducing the severity and length of jetlag, which affects over 90 percent of people who travel.

“Jet lag is caused by a combination of things – disruption to our biological clock which dictates our sleep patterns, a change of cabin pressure at altitude, a low oxygen environment and a lack of humidity in the cabin,” says Clinical Nutritionist Nellie Pigot.

“The overall effects of these changes can be far reaching – tiredness, low concentration and irritability caused by lack of sleep, swelling in the extremities due to poor circulation and blood flow, dry and stale air leading to headaches, dry skin, dry nasal and throat membranes setting you up for colds, flu and sore throats and dehydration leaving you feeling depleted and dried out.

Planning and preparation are key to helping combat jet lag so you can make the most out of your travel."

1Above also contains a mix of electrolytes and B & C vitamins and is low in calories.

1Above is available through the 1Above kiosk at Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne airports, 1Above vending machines, leading convenience stores, cafes and pharmacists, as well as online.
