One daily scoop for athletes 8 and up, so they show up ready for practice, without caffeine.

CORE Daily is a stimulant-free daily powder for athletes 8 and up. Not a pre-workout. Not a sugar drink. One scoop in the water bottle and they're set for practice.

Your kid's got school, afternoon practice, weekend tournaments, and by Wednesday they're running on empty. You don't want to hand a 12 year old a pre-workout with 200mg of caffeine. You also don't want the sugar crash from a sports drink. CORE is the middle ground. Hydration that lasts through a full practice, recovery so they're not wrecked the next morning, and ingredients you can actually look up and feel good about.

Made by a sports dad for his own kids.

What it looks like in real life

One scoop, in the bottle, whatever the sport.

It isn't a protocol they have to remember. It goes in the water bottle that's already in the bag, and it travels to practice, to the tournament, to the third game of a Saturday.

Parents usually ask these questions

What is CORE, exactly?

A daily powder that goes in the water bottle they already carry. One scoop, 30 servings a pouch. It covers four things at once: hydration and electrolytes (sodium and potassium), recovery support (collagen peptides and tart cherry), calm focus with no stimulants (L-theanine and Alpha-GPC), and immune and gut support (elderberry and a probiotic). Ten calories. No caffeine. Not a pre-workout, not a gummy, not a sports drink.

Is this safe for an 8-year-old?

It's dosed for ages 8 to 18. That's who it was built for, not an adult formula with a smaller scoop. Zero caffeine, zero stimulants, third-party tested, made in the USA. Every ingredient is named on the label, with per-serving amounts for each vitamin and mineral and gram totals for each blend. Open the Supplement Facts panel in the offer above and read it before you buy. If your athlete takes medication or has a health condition, talk to your pediatrician first. We'd rather you ask.

How is this different from a sports drink or a kids’ vitamin?

A sports drink gives you sugar and a couple of electrolytes for the hour they're on the field. A kids' multivitamin covers general nutrition for a kid who isn't training four days a week. CORE is built for the schedule your athlete actually has: hydration, recovery, focus and immune support in one scoop, taken daily through the season. Ten calories, a low-glycemic carbohydrate instead of straight sugar, and no caffeine.

What if they won’t drink it?

Then you get your money back. Let them finish the whole pouch first. That's the point of the guarantee. If they won't drink it, one email and we refund month one. Empty pouch or full, no return shipping, no forms, no phone call. Fruit Punch is the flavor kids actually finish, but you don't have to believe us to find out.

What’s the real price after month one?

$36 today, then $61.20 every 30 days. That's 15% off the regular $72, and the next pouch arrives before the current one runs out. Free shipping and the $15 shaker come with this first order. You can skip a month, change the delivery date, or cancel from your account in a couple of clicks. No calls, no one talking you out of it.
