Calmara Achieves RangeMe Verified Brand Status Nationwide

Physician-founded functional wellness beverage brand and Fast Moving Consumer Goods incubated client gains enhanced access to Walmart, Kroger, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, CVS, Walgreens, Albertsons, and more than 200,000 retail buyers on the platform.

Key Highlights

Calmara Beverage Company, Inc., a physician-founded functional wellness beverage brand and incubated client of Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Inc. (OTC: GGII), announced today that it has achieved Verified Brand status on RangeMe, the leading retail product discovery platform used by major retailers including Walmart, Albertsons, CVS, Walgreens, Sprouts Farmers Market, Kroger, Whole Foods Market, and thousands of regional retail buyers nationwide. Verified brands on RangeMe receive up to 7x more views than non-verified brands, significantly increasing Calmara's buyer engagement and retail channel access at a critical stage of the brand's growth.

Calmara achieved RangeMe Verified Brand status as the company expands its retail readiness strategy beyond its direct-to-consumer and TikTok Shop channels. The RangeMe verification milestone positions Calmara in front of retail buyers who actively search the platform for innovative emerging brands in the beverage, wellness, and consumer packaged goods categories. Rather than competing on stimulation alone, Calmara was created around the belief that energy should be balanced, intentional, and fit within a broader lifestyle of wellness and performance.

Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Carlos Sanchez founded Calmara and developed the brand around a wellness-first philosophy emphasizing focus, balanced energy, mental clarity, and intentional living. Dr. Sanchez brings clinical experience from more than 10,000 cardiovascular procedures and a career-long interest in how stress, recovery, focus, sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle influence long-term health and human performance. The brand's debut product, Painappuru (Pineapple Zen), contains 150 mg of caffeine from Green Tea and Green Coffee Bean, offering a balanced approach to energy for today's active lifestyles.

"I created Calmara because I believe energy should support performance without compromising overall wellness. Throughout my career, I became increasingly interested in how stress, recovery, focus, sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle influence long-term health and human performance. Calmara was never intended to be just another energy drink. It was built around a philosophy that energy should be balanced, intentional, and sustainable. Every ingredient was selected thoughtfully to reflect that philosophy and create a beverage aligned with a wellness-first lifestyle." — Dr. Carlos Sanchez, Founder of Calmara Beverage Company, Inc. and practicing Interventional Cardiologist

As an incubated client of Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Inc. (OTC: GGII), Calmara receives comprehensive support across manufacturing, retail sales management, ecommerce, wholesale distribution, public relations, content creation, and retail positioning. Fast Moving Consumer Goods previously achieved its own Verified Brand status on RangeMe, creating additional opportunities for incubated brands to strengthen buyer relationships and expand retail channel access across the country.

"Calmara is exactly the type of brand the FMCG incubator was created to support. Dr. Sanchez brings a unique perspective as a practicing cardiologist, combining medical insight, wellness principles, and a passion for helping people perform at their best. Calmara's focus on sustainable energy, mental clarity, and intentional living creates a differentiated position in the rapidly growing functional beverage category." — Sandro Piancone, Chief Executive Officer of Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Inc.
