Founded by the Brittons, both of whom have extensive backgrounds in health tech and product innovation, Critter Vitamin H2O is designed to eliminate the need for sugary sodas and juices that have long been the go-to drinks for kids. Instead, it offers a wholesome alternative that’s not only fun for kids to drink but also packed with nine essential vitamins and minerals like magnesium and potassium, which are known to support energy, growth, and immune health.

As the conversation around healthier choices for kids' nutrition continues to grow, one Florida-based company is taking the lead in transforming the way children hydrate. Enter Critter Vitamin H2O, a revolutionary powdered multivitamin drink mix created by parents Lindey and CJ Britton. With a mission to provide families with a healthier, fun, and convenient hydration option, Critter Vitamin H2O is quickly gaining traction among busy households across the U.S.

Founded by the Brittons, both of whom have extensive backgrounds in health tech and product innovation, Critter Vitamin H2O is designed to eliminate the need for sugary sodas and juices that have long been the go-to drinks for kids. Instead, it offers a wholesome alternative that’s not only fun for kids to drink but also packed with nine essential vitamins and minerals like magnesium and potassium, which are known to support energy, growth, and immune health.

One of the standout features of Critter Vitamin H2O is its portability. Available in convenient, on-the-go stick packs, this innovative product makes it easier than ever for families to enjoy clean, vitamin-packed hydration at school, sports practices, or while out and about. Critter's stick packs are a perfect fit for today's busy parents looking for an easy way to make healthy choices without the hassle.

“We were frustrated by the lack of healthy, convenient drink options for our kids,” said Lindey Britton, CEO of Critter. “Critter Vitamin H2O was born out of that frustration. We wanted to create something that not only helps kids stay hydrated but also supports their growth and health in a way that parents can feel good about.”

Unlike many kids’ drinks on the market, Critter is free from artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners. Its clean ingredients offer a trustworthy option for parents looking to replace the sugar-laden alternatives commonly found in grocery store aisles.

Critter Vitamin H2O’s bold and colorful packaging is not just designed with kids in mind. The branding draws inspiration from the 90s, a decade that resonates with many Millennial parents now navigating the world of family wellness. This vibrant, fun aesthetic connects with both Generation Alpha and the parents who grew up in the era of neon trends, giving the brand a unique, nostalgic edge that sets it apart in the market.

“We wanted the packaging to feel familiar, fun, and approachable,” said CJ Britton, COO of Critter. “Our goal is for parents to look at Critter and immediately recognize it as a product they can trust, while also appealing to their kids with something that looks cool and exciting.”

Early customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many parents reporting that their kids are enthusiastically choosing Critter over sugary sodas and juices. "It's a win-win," said one parent. "My kids love the taste, and I love that it's packed with vitamins and no junk."

The timing for Critter Vitamin H2O couldn’t be better. According to industry data, multivitamins and probioticsaccount for a staggering 82% of children’s supplement sales, signaling a growing demand for products that support children’s health. The rise of health-conscious consumerism is also reflected in the broader food and beverage industry, where demand for healthier, more functional options is skyrocketing. In fact, the U.S. kids' beverage market alone is expected to see steady growth, fueled by parents’ increasing interest in products that contribute to immunity, cognitive development, and digestive health.

As families become more health-conscious, they are prioritizing natural and nutritious alternatives to traditional sugary drinks. Critter Vitamin H2O provides the perfect solution for those seeking a clean, convenient, and fun drink that not only quenches thirst but also nourishes kids with essential vitamins.

Critter Vitamin H2O is currently available for purchase online and through a growing network of small businesses across Florida’s Panhandle. By the end of 2025, the brand plans to expand its reach significantly, with plans to enter major grocery stores, convenience shops, and fitness centers nationwide.

“The goal is to make Critter Vitamin H2O accessible to families everywhere,” CJ Britton explained. “Our mission is to redefine how families approach hydration. We want to make healthy choices easy, fun, and affordable for everyone.”

In a world where parents are looking for better options for their kids, Critter Vitamin H2O provides a refreshing solution—a product that is not just good for hydration, but good for health. As it continues to grow, the brand is poised to be a game-changer for the U.S. food and beverage industry, particularly in the growing segment of children's health products.
