ZINC

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, many of which support recovery, immunity, and metabolic function. It plays a key role in tissue repair, inflammation control, and protein synthesis which is especially important after intense activity. Zinc also supports hormone balance and energy production at the cellular level. Whether you’re training hard or staying consistent, it helps your body repair and adapt more efficiently.

TAURINE

Taurine is a naturally occurring amino acid that supports hydration, endurance, and muscular performance. It helps regulate electrolyte balance, enhances calcium signaling in muscle cells, and reduces oxidative stress during exertion. Taurine also supports heart function and cellular energy output, improving stamina without overstimulation. This makes it ideal for athletes pushing toward peak performance or recovering from high-output sessions.

L-THEANINE

L-Theanine is a nonstimulant compound known for promoting calm, focused alertness, often described as a “flow state.” It increases alpha brain wave activity, which supports mental clarity, stress management, and present moment awareness. It also helps regulate cortisol levels, reducing the mental fatigue that comes with long or demanding efforts. It’s especially effective when clarity and composure are needed without the spikes or crashes of caffeine.

HONOURING 
OUR ROOTS

We’re proud to introduce ingredient innovations in sports nutrition products

Minerally Rich. Naturally Sourced.

Seawater is collected at high tide from a private stretch of shoreline, then passed through multiple filtration stages to remove impurities while preserving natural minerals. The clean seawater is gently heated using energy-efficient methods to create a rich, concentrated brine. This brine is then transferred to open evaporation tanks, where time, temperature, and technique work together to form signature flake and fine sea salts.

Uniquely Sweet. Distinctly Canadian.

Tapped from Canadian maple trees, refined into golden syrup, then crystallized into a fine powder, our maple syrup flavor additive delivers clean, naturally derived sweetness and over 40 trace minerals. It adds character and balance to the formula, complementing the berry flavour without synthetic sugars or additives.

Electrolytes: The First Principle of Human Performance

Electrolytes are the foundation of human performance, the Baseline of any serious nutrition protocol.

These charged minerals, primarily sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium regulate fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle contraction (1).

Without them, hydration is inefficient, nutrient transport stalls, and neuromuscular function degrades (2). Inadequate electrolyte levels impair thermoregulation, delay gastricemptying, and reduce VO₂ max long before calorie depletion even begins (3) (4).

That’s why in advanced sports science, we talk about nutrient stacking: every layer of performance nutrition, whether it’s carbohydrates for energy, aminoacids for repair, or adaptogens for resilience, is dependent on a properly hydrated and electrically balanced system. If your electrolyte profile is off, none ofthose interventions can deliver their full effect. Optimizing electrolyte intake isn’t just important, it’s the Baseline condition for endurance, recovery, and output.

Building on that foundation, our enhanced formulations include L-theanine and Taurine to amplify the neurological and metabolic benefits of hydration. L-theanine, a naturally occurring amino acid, has been shown to promote a calm but alert mental state, supporting focus under fatigue and reducing perceived exertion during prolonged activity (5). Taurine contributes to intracellular hydration, calcium signaling, and mitochondrial function, making itespecially effective for high-output athletes experiencing both electrolyte loss and oxidative stress (6). Together, these compounds don’t replace hydration, they enhance and extend it, allowing the body to perform under pressure with greater resilience and efficiency.

WHAT ARE POWERED ELECTROLYTES?

Powdered electrolytes are blends of essential minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, designed to replenish what your body loses through sweat, exertion, or daily activities. Our formula comes in easy-to-use sachets—just add to water and go.

ARE ELECTROLYTES THE SAME AS HYDRATION?

Not quite. Hydration = water + electrolytes. While water helps with fluid balance, electrolytes help your cells absorb and use that water effectively. Think of water as the delivery truck and electrolytes as the key to the warehouse.

ARE ELECTROLYTES NATURAL?

Yes. We use high-quality, naturally sourced ingredients, including Canadian sea salt (with over 30 trace minerals) and crystallized maple syrup for a touch of natural sweetness.
