Purple Beverage Company, Inc. (OTC Pink: PPBV) is a company that develops, markets, and distributes an antioxidant beverage called Purple. Its flagship product contains a high level of antioxidants, as measured in ORAC values, from seven different fruit sources, including the acai berry, black cherry, pomegranate, black currant, purple plum, cranberry and blueberry.

In December 2007, the company’s stock became publicly tradable with the completion of a reverse merger transaction with Red Carpet Entertainment, Inc.[1] In January, Purple Beverage Company announced a distribution agreement with General Nutrition Centers (GNC).[2]
On July 22, 2008, the company filed a standard character trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the slogan "Purple, Life’s Superdrink."[3]
