Built on Research. Designed for Youth Athletes.

PLAYR is formulated using evidence-backed nutrients that support the five core pillars of youth athletic performance: hydration, recovery, cognitive readiness, immune support, and gut health.

Our formulas are stimulant-free, clean-label, and developed with youth- appropriate dosing — giving young athletes what they need to train hard, recover well, and stay ready to play.

Core Benefits for Youth Athletes

image

Supports Hydration & Electrolyte Balance

Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium help replace minerals lost through sweat, supporting fluid balance, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling during training and competition.

image

Supports Recovery & Soft-Tissue Health

Hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and zinc provide key building blocks for tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue, supporting recovery and resilience in growing athletes.

image

Supports Cognitive Readiness & Calm Focus

L-theanine and Alpha-GPC support calm focus, reaction time, and mental clarity by supporting acetylcholine production—without caffeine or stimulants.

image

Better nutrient absorption to fuel development.

Balanced micronutrients and low-glycemic carbohydrates help support efficient nutrient uptake to fuel growth, training adaptation, and overall development.

image

Supports Immune Health

Vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidant-rich ingredients help support immune defenses during periods of physical stress and consistent training.

image

Supports Gut Health & Digestive Balance

Bacillus coagulans supports digestive comfort and gut balance, helping athletes better absorb nutrients and stay consistent day to day.

Core Ingredients for Youth Athletes

image

Electrolyte Blend

A balanced mix of essential minerals helps replace electrolytes lost through sweat, supporting hydration, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling during training and competition.

image

Sodium & Potassium:

Key electrolytes that help maintain fluid balance and support consistent muscular output during physical activity and heat exposure.

image

Magnesium & Calcium:

Support proper muscle function, neuromuscular coordination, and recovery by playing essential roles in muscle contraction and relaxation.

image

Hydrolyzed Collagen:

Provides bioavailable amino acids that support tendon, ligament, and connective-tissue strength—important for durability and long-term athletic development.

image

Vitamin C & Zinc:

Support collagen synthesis, tissue repair, and immune defense, helping athletes recover and stay resilient through consistent training.

image

L-Theanine & Alpha-GPC:

Support calm focus, cognitive performance, and reaction time by promoting healthy neurotransmitter activity—without caffeine or stimulants.

Electrolyte Balance & Hydration

Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium help replace minerals lost through sweat and support fluid balance during physical activity. Adequate hydration is critical for maintaining performance in youth athletes.

image

Muscle & Nerve Performance

Key electrolytes support muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and coordination. Proper balance helps maintain neuromuscular function during training and competition.

image

Connective Tissue Support

Hydrolyzed collagen provides structural amino acids that support tendons and ligaments. Vitamin C and zinc assist normal collagen synthesis and tissue integrity.

image

Recovery & Growth Support

Vitamin C and zinc support normal tissue repair, immune function, and recovery after exercise. These nutrients play essential roles during periods of growth.

image

Cognitive & Reaction Support

Alpha-GPC provides choline to support acetylcholine production, which is involved in focus, reaction time, and neuromuscular control—without stimulants.
