7 Active Ingredients
Citrulline Malate · 3.5g — Comes from watermelon. Takes a back road into your system that gets more of it where it's going.
Creatine · 3g — The most-studied compound in sports nutrition. Monohydrate, because that's the form the research used.
Inositol · 1.8g — Built into the wall of every cell you have. Almost nobody puts it in a workout formula.
Beta-Alanine · 1.2g — Builds carnosine, your muscle's buffer against the burn. It's also the one responsible for the tingle.
Acetyl L-Carnitine · 1g — The shuttle that carries fat to where it gets burned. Your body keeps 95% of its supply in your heart and skeletal muscle.
L-Tyrosine · 400mg — Discovered in cheese in 1846. The raw material your brain rebuilds focus and drive from.
L-Theanine · 300mg — Found almost nowhere except tea leaves. It's what makes tea feel different from coffee.
Real Aussie Fruit
Grown, not invented.
Most brands build a flavour in a lab. It's cheaper and it's more consistent batch to batch. We buy fruit from Australian farms and dry it instead.
Oranges from Mudgeeraba, in the Queensland hinterland. Apples from the Huon Valley. Cherries from Silvan, in the Dandenongs, dried at about the temperature of a hot bath rather than blasted, so the colour and the character survive it.
Sweetened with monk fruit. Coloured with the fruit itself. No sucralose, no dyes, no numbers.
It costs us more. It's the right ingredient.
Designed In Melbourne
Formulated in Melbourne. Made in a certified facility used by Fortune 500 companies.
Compliant with every certification you could think, with an R&D department that rivals the best thinktanks ever devised.

Ever bought a hydration product that bragged about not using sugar? I've got bad news for you.
Hydration doesn't work without sugar
Your gut wall isn't a sieve. Water can't soak through it and you can't push it across. It only ever moves by following something else.
Built into the wall of your intestine is a tiny gate, and it's a revolving door with a rule: it turns only when a particle of salt and a particle of sugar arrive together. Salt alone, nothing. Sugar alone, nothing. Both at once and it spins, and the water follows them through.
That gate is why a glass of water with salt and sugar in it moves through you differently from plain water. It's the basis of oral rehydration therapy, which sits on the World Health Organisation's list of essential medicines.
Take the sugar out and you've got salty water. Which is fine. It just isn't doing the thing the science says it does - and it won't rehydrate you properly.
Two doors, not one
Glucose and fructose cross into you through two completely separate doorways. Most of the few products that bother with a sugar at all use one.
Four grams of glucose, two grams of fructose. That ratio isn't there to sweeten anything and it isn't a rounding error on the panel. It's the whole design.
We use sugar and we're not hiding it. It's the reason the rest of it works.

Providing 500mg sodium, 250mg potassium and 60mg magnesium.
Ten ingredients. No blend, no filler, no maltodextrin bulking out the sachet. Every one of them is doing a job, and you can see how much of it is in there.
Sodium and potassium
Sodium is the mineral you lose most of in sweat, and it's half of what makes that gate in your gut turn. Potassium is the one that works opposite it across every cell membrane you have. The two of them together are the pair your body actually runs the balance on.
We use them both as citrates rather than chlorides. Citrate is easier on an empty stomach and it doesn't bring the sharp saline edge that chloride does, which matters when you're drinking half a litre of it in one go on a hot day.
Magnesium, and why the form is the story
This is the ingredient where most of the category quietly saves money, and it's worth understanding why.
Magnesium can't be sold on its own. It has to be bound to something, and what it's bound to changes almost everything about how it behaves. Magnesium oxide is the cheapest by a wide margin and is poorly absorbed. Magnesium citrate is the industry default: inexpensive, adequately absorbed, and known well enough to have a second use as a laxative. That's not a rumour, it's what it's prescribed for.
We use magnesium glycinate. It's bound to glycine, the smallest amino acid, and that bond does two things. It dissolves cleanly, so there's no grit sitting at the bottom of the glass. And it's markedly gentler on the gut, which is the difference between a drink you reach for after a long session and one you learn to be careful with.
It costs us several times what oxide would. A panel that just says "magnesium" tells you none of this, which is exactly why we print the form.
Dragon fruit, because there's dragon fruit in it
Nobody flavours an electrolyte drink with dragon fruit. They flavour it with lemon lime, orange, berry, watermelon, because those flavour bases are cheap, stable and already sitting in every flavour house's catalogue.
Dragon fruit is not that. It's a cactus fruit, grown in the tropics, expensive to source and difficult to work with. Pink, faintly floral, and nothing at all like what an electrolyte drink is supposed to taste like.
It's also a better story than it has any right to be. Everyone assumes it's ancient and Asian. It's from Central America. French colonists carried it to Vietnam in the 1800s, where it sat in ornamental gardens for roughly a century being admired and not eaten. Somebody started farming it properly in the 1980s, and Vietnam is now the largest producer on earth.
The name is a straight translation of the Chinese huolongguo, fire dragon fruit, for the overlapping scales on its skin. It looks like something that hatched.
Coloured with black carrot extract, which is where the deep pink comes from. Sweetened with monk fruit only. No sucralose, no acesulfame K, no dyes, no numbers.
One serve, sealed
No scoop, no scales, no tub taking up half a shelf. The sachet goes in a gym bag, a laptop sleeve, a glovebox or a coat pocket, and it's still the same 9.5g when you get there.
Sealed in aluminium, so it's the same whether you drink it now or a year from now.
Vegan. Gluten free. Lactose free.
How to use
Tear, tip into 250 to 500ml of cold water, shake or stir. More water for a lighter taste, less for a stronger one.
