KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 3, 2025 - The Tapping Tapir, a pioneering Malaysian brand known for its naturally flavored sparkling beverages, has launched its newest gutC prebiotic drink: Mix Berry. The unveiling took place at a Valentine's Day event at Pickle Nation, centered around wellness with the theme "Self-Love and Gut Love." The event promoted the importance of both gut health and self-care.

Since its founding in 2013, The Tapping Tapir has focused on producing additive-free beverages made with real fruit juices, spices, and herbs. The gutC range emphasizes digestive wellness, aligning with the brand's dedication to health-conscious innovation. Recognizing the link between gut health and the immune system, gutC offers low-calorie, prebiotic-infused drinks.

The Mix Berry flavor joins three existing gutC flavors: Peach, Grape, and Lychee (the latter exclusive to 7-Eleven). Each flavor contains prebiotics (Inulin & Apple Cider Vinegar) to aid digestion and Vitamin C to boost the immune system, with less than 2g of sugar and under 15 calories per can.

The Valentine's Day launch event included health enthusiasts, athletes, influencers, and brand partners. Activities focused on movement, mindfulness, and social connection. Attendees participated in pickleball training, meditation and breathwork workshops led by wellness expert Piyachai Teo, and ice bath recovery experiences.

Sampling stations offered the new gutC Mix Berry and other Tapping Tapir beverages. A social pickleball tournament featured influencers, celebrities, and professional players, including Toi Sieu Ee (Malaysia's No. 2-ranked player), Cik Manggis, Mark O'Dea, Luqman Hafidz, and Intan Sarah. VIP guests from Diamond & Platinum, Christy Ng, and Pickle Fox also attended.

Winners of the Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles categories received RM500 cash prizes and a Six Zero Quartz Paddle sponsored by Pickle Fox. Diamond & Platinum awarded a diamond necklace to the best-dressed guest and RM500 shopping vouchers to two winners.

The Tapping Tapir emphasizes sourcing high-quality natural ingredients from local farmers, minimizing processing, and using eco-friendly packaging.
