The Science Behind EDGE

At EDGE, we didnโ€™t just throw ingredients together and hope for the bestโ€”we partnered with one of the brightest minds in sports science to create a hydration system that truly works. Our formulation partner, a university professor in physiology, nutrition, and sports science, has spent over a decade researching and refining hydration and fuel strategies for athletes.

Through extensive lab testing, real-world athlete trials, and countless formula iterations, we worked together to craft the perfect balance of electrolytes, carbohydrates, and clean ingredients to optimize performance. Every formula is backed by science, tested in the field, and designed to work in harmony with the bodyโ€”maximizing absorption, reducing gut distress, and delivering sustained energy when it matters most.

The result? A line of hydration and fuel products that keep athletes performing at their peak, no junk, no fillersโ€”just pure, effective nutrition designed to push limits and redefine whatโ€™s possible.
