Sports Research is expanding creatine electrolyte blends with a two-in-one powder designed to combine performance and hydration support in a convenient daily format. Each sugar-free stick pack provides five grams of micronized creatine monohydrate alongside 1,000 milligrams of electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, magnesium and chloride. The portable format allows consumers to add both supplements to water without managing separate tubs or scoops, while multiple fruit flavors make the formula easier to incorporate into everyday routines.
Combining two established categories gives Sports Research an opportunity to serve consumers looking to simplify increasingly complex supplement regimens. The launch also marks the brand’s first entry into Costco’s sports nutrition aisle, expanding its exposure to mass-market shoppers. Single-serve packaging and broader distribution could attract consumers beyond dedicated athletes while helping Sports Research strengthen its position across hydration, wellness and performance nutrition.
