The Mission
Our goal in launching our Z2 drink mix is to provide a premium solution to all of the hydration needs of athletes looking to properly fuel during their training. We hope to provide an excellent source of hydration to athletes of all levels to keep everyone performing to their full potential. As collegiate competitors ourselves, we’re well aware of the difficulties of fueling efficiently along with all of the other obstacles that come along with daily life. Whether it may be homework, class, work, social events, it’s unnecessarily difficult to stay on track with your nutrition with limited time frames and easy to neglect. We created Z2 to eliminate the stress and research needs of our athletes to allow them to fuel naturally without the stress of worrying about what’s going into their body. Most amateur athletes are not sufficiently educated on the importance of nutrition and the impact that it has on performance. We’ve tried the products on the market now, and haven’t been able to find a product that checks all of our boxes. With that being said, improper hydration and food intake can lead to struggles in keeping up with what you’re used to. Z2 will help with staying alive and alert after the workout, and even prepare you for your next workout later on in the day. Our drink mix will keep you going during, after, and before your workouts.
The Inspiration
I was standing in my kitchen, going through the monotonous task of mixing my workout drink for the day. I had planned a mini triathlon, row/run/bike, and it was going to take around 3 hours, so I knew I'd need a lot of fuel, and a lot of electrolytes. My typical mix was a combination of 2 other electrolyte mixes, along with some sugar and caffeine powder. Didn't taste very good, and was a huge pain to make. During the workout I got to thinking about why there wasn't a widely available workout formula that was perfect for endurance athletes? Z2 was born. The perfect fuel for your long-haul zone 2 training sessions, and a caffeine option for that extra boost. We combined a rich electrolyte blend with a mix of simple and complex sugars to give you the best-fueled workout you've ever had, every time.
The Vision
Down the line we’re hoping to become the hydration and fueling supplier of athletes all over the world. We’re looking to work with collegiate, amateur and professional athletes in endurance sports to help them perform to their best abilities, and even reach new heights. Most importantly, we want other athletes to benefit from our product and research as much as we have. We’ve had our own problems fueling in the past and have spent extensive amounts of time trying to figure out the best way to solve our problems.
