The Cobb Chamber of Commerce namedBIOLYTE, the “IV in a bottle,”a 2023 Top 25 Small Business of the Year, an annual awards program honoring small businesses for their remarkable achievements, sound approach to organizational challenges, and positive contributions to the community.

“We are so grateful to the Cobb Chamber for recognizing BIOLYTE’s incredible growth, financial discipline, and overall impact in our community and beyond,” saidJesslyn Rollins, CEO of BIOLYTE. “We couldn’t reach our goals without the support from our own backyard.” 

Created & founded by Anesthesiologist Dr. Luther “Trey” Rollins III, when his wife, Jeannine, was battling breast cancer, BIOLYTE is a clinical grade hydration drink that offers close to 7 times the amount of electrolytes as other leading sports drinks with only one-third of the sugar in each bottle. Delivering the same hydration benefits as a full, medical-grade IV bag – at a fraction of the cost, and in the convenience of your home – BIOLYTE not only rehydrates the body, but also supports the immune system, helps wash away viruses and regulates the body’s natural core temperature. 

BIOLYTE® was created for everyday warriors that have a need for serious hydration - extreme athletes, those battling cancer, fatigued travelers, people at risk of overheating, seniors and exhausted new parents. Best enjoyed cold, it is now available in five flavors: citrus, berry, melon, tropical and punch, and can be purchased in select stores across the country (full listhere), and online at drinkbiolyte.com and Amazon. 

“We are so proud of all the small businesses that make up such an integral part of Cobb County’s economic vitality,” said Cobb Chamber President and CEO Sharon Mason. “Our Top 25 Small Businesses of the Year are examples of the best of the best, and they represent why so many business owners, innovators, and makers are attracted to our county to launch their next great idea.”
