Relay exists because the products you train with should meet the same standard as the effort you put in. Carry The Distance.
Every ingredient is a decision. Here are ours.
Sea of CortezMost electrolyte brands use refined sodium chloride - pure sodium with everything else stripped away. We use Baja Gold® Sea Salt, an unrefined sea salt naturally harvested from the Sea of Cortez. The salt matters.
Magnesium glycinate over oxide — chelated for better absorption, gentler on the gut. Potassium citrate over chloride — well-tolerated and effective. These forms cost more. They also work better. That's the trade we'll make every time.
Hard training is rough on digestion. Most electrolyte brands ignore this entirely. We added 30mg of ginger root extract standardized to 5% gingerols — a functional dose for gut comfort when your system is under load.
Third-party tested for quality and purity. Testing also includes heavy metal and microbial contamination.
Relay isn't casual hydration. It's for people who train with intent, who show up consistently and expect the products they use to meet that same standard.
If you're showing up, Relay is built for you.
What's not in the formula matters as much as what is.
No Blue #1, Red #40, or Yellow #5. No reason for dye in an electrolyte.
This is a hydration tool, not a juice box. Fuel separately if you need carbs.
Erythritol, sorbitol, and xylitol cause GI distress in many athletes.
No sucralose, no aspartame. Sweetened with Reb M stevia only.
No sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate.
I'm an active runner and love to train. I have learned that when you're putting in the miles and the sweat, sodium loss adds up fast. I tried what was out there. Most products leaned on inexpensive, refined sodium sources, and basic ingredient forms, which were designed for cost rather than real training.
So I built Relay. Not to be the loudest brand on the shelf, but to be the one I'd reach for without thinking twice. Every ingredient decision comes back to one filter: would I use this in my own training? If the answer isn't yes, it doesn't go in.
Relay is for the people who show up. Runners, lifters, cyclists, hikers - anyone who sweats with intention. Some days it's distance. Some days it's just showing up. Either way, you deserve hydration built to the same standard you hold yourself to.
