We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.

Form SB-2 1. We note that the calculation of registrati on fee table is based on the price of your common stock on July 13, 2007. We also note the common stock you are registering relates to a periodic equity investment agreement in which the number of shares to be issued is based upon the market price of the common shares. Accordingly, please confirm to us as follows: • You have registered a good faith estimate of the maximum number of shares you may issue under the periodic equity investment agreement;

Jan Norelid Celsius Holdings, Inc. August 17, 2007 Page 2 • You will not rely on Rule 416 if the market price of the common shares results in you having insufficient shares; and • You will file a new registration statement to cover the resale of any additional shares in the event that th e number of shares actually issued exceeds the number of shares that you have included in the registration fee table.

Prospectus Cover Page 2. Please eliminate parenthetical definitions here and elsewhere in your document where the meaning is clear from context. For example, eliminate (“Common Stock”), (the “Company”) and (“Fusion Capital”). Eliminate (the “Exchange Act”) in the fourth paragraph. Prospectus Summary, page 4 3. Please revise the first sentence in the fi rst paragraph to stat e that you in the business of producing, distributing and mark eting functional beverages. Similarly revise the fourth sentence in the second paragraph and like disclosure elsewhere in your document, such as under Current Business of the Company on page 22. Please avoid references to “science” and “nutrition” when describing your product or explain to us why you believe su ch descriptions are appropriate. 4. Please delete “which has been scientifically validated” in the sixth sentence of the second paragraph. Also delete under Cu rrent Business of the Company on page 22 and under Plan of Operation on page 26. 5. Prominently disclose that your auditors have raised substan tial doubt as to your ability to continue as a going concern. Also, quantify the amount of funding you will need to raise over the next 12 m onths to effectuate your business plan. 6. Please advise us as to how you have arrived at the 44,081,295 shares held by non- affiliates. Forward-Looking Statements, page 6 7. We note that you refer to Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Please note that Section 27A(b)(1)(C) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E(b)(1)(C) of the Securities Excha nge Act of 1934 expressly state that the safe harbor for forwar d looking statements does not apply to statements made by issuers that, at the time the statement is made, issue penny stock. Therefore, the Litigation Reform Act’s safe harbor does not apply to statements made in your registration stat ement. Please delete any references to

Jan Norelid Celsius Holdings, Inc. August 17, 2007 Page 3 the safe harbor, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Also consider this comment in connection with similar disclosure on page 26.

Risk Factors, page 7 8. In general, descrip tions of risks that describe circumstances that could apply equally to other businesses th at are similarly situated ar e generic risks that should not be included in your risk factor secti on. Please either eliminate these generic risks, or revise them to state specific material risk s to your company or to the purchasers in this offering. For example, we note that the following risk factors appear to contain ge neric disclosures:

• The market price of our Comm on Stock is highly volatile.

• If we do not achieve profitability, our business may not grow or continue to operate.

• If we cannot effectively manage our growth, we may incur substantial losses .

• We may not be able to develop successful new products which are important to our growth .

• We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future .

Please note these are examples only. Please review your entire risk factor section and revise as necessary. 9. Some of your risk factor cap tions merely state facts and do not describe the risk in concrete terms. For example, the risk factor captioned “ Our directors and executive officers beneficially own a s ubstantial amount of our Common Stock” does not explain that these persons may c ontrol the direction of the company and may have interests different from the shar eholders. The risk factor captioned “We are dependent on our key executives” does not explain whether it is difficult to find persons expert in the functional beverage industry. Please review your risk factor captions to ensure th ey clearly and concisely de scribe the relevant risks. 10. Please eliminate language that mitigates the particular risk, such as “Although we maintain insurance coverage against the risk of product liability and product recall…” in the risk factor captioned “ We may incur material losses as a result of product recall and product liability .”

Jan Norelid Celsius Holdings, Inc. August 17, 2007 Page 4 11. The last paragraph of the ri sk factors section on page 10 is inappropriate. Please delete. The purpose of the risk factors sec tion is to set forth the risks material to investors, not to address “all factors affecting your business.”

Use of Proceeds, page 11 12. Please provide a table for the use of net proceeds from the common stock purchase agreement based upon a reasonable range of prices and a reasonable number of shares to be issued pursuant to the agreement. We would understand if you added cautionary language that you ma y never receive the entire proceeds.

Selling Stockholders, page 11

Gregory Horn, page 12 13. We note your disclosure that you issued 1,391,500 shares to Gregory Horn which were assigned a value of $2,005,640 or $2.16 per share. The price per share you have presented is mathematically incorre ct. Please revise your disclosure.

The Fusion Transaction, page 12 14. We note that the terms of your Common St ock Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC allow you to elect, but do not require you, to increase the Block Purchase Amount under certain trading conditions. Since the pricing terms of the equity line financing do not appear to be based on a fixed amount and may be elected by you, it does not appear that the transaction you pr opose is consistent with an equity line financing that may be described as a secondary offering because the private placement does not appear to have been completed. See "Equity Line Financings" in Section VIII of the March 31, 2001 Current Issues and Rulemaking Projects Quarterly Update . Please tell us why you believe that your private placement is complete. 15. We note that you did not file your registration statement within the time period required by the terms of your regi stration rights agreement. Please disclose the consequences, if any, for having failed to timely file your registration statement.

Plan of Distribution, page 15 16. We note that 25,000 of the shares you are registering for resale by Fusion were issued as a reimbursement for services rendered in connection with the equity line. Tell us what consideration you ha ve given to disclosing, under Item 508 of Regulation S-B, that these shares amount to underwriter or dealer compensation.

Please remove from the biographies any st atements not required by Item 401 of Regulation S-B. For example:

Given the amount of shares issued in the transaction, the amount of shares of the Company outstand ing, the breadth of the market in your Company’s shares, and the nature of the good received, it does not appear that the fair value of transaction was appropriate ly measured by reference to the trading price of the stock immediately after the reverse merger. We also note that the transaction included an agreement to cancel a consulting contract.
