Adapt SuperWater makes no-added-sugar, high-performance, scientifically formulated, athlete-backed drink mixes using real fruit juice and functional ingredients that support more than just hydration. Unlike some replenishing beverages and blends that are heavy on sugar, Adapt boasts 80% less sugar and serves as an enticing alternative to formulas filled with synthetic inclusions. "Locker Rooms have long been filled with sugary and synthetic hydration and recovery options for athletes [...] or forced upon top-level athletes, sometimes against their better judgement," says founder and CEO Richard Harrington. "I want athletes to know there [are] better options available."
Ingredient-conscious consumers can appreciate that Adapt's electrolyte mix is fueled by coconut water, magnesium and sea salt, plus L-theanine and B vitamins. Equally important as functional benefits is flavor to keep every sip feeling rewarding, and Adapt offers fun flavors like Watermelon & Lime and Pomegranate & Hibiscus for recovery and hydration, and Tart Cherry & Kiwi for sleep and hydration.
