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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Supports Immune Health
Vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidant-rich ingredients help support immune defenses during periods of physical stress and consistent training.
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
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.
Sodium & Potassium:
Key electrolytes that help maintain fluid balance and support consistent muscular output during physical activity and heat exposure.
Magnesium & Calcium:
Support proper muscle function, neuromuscular coordination, and recovery by playing essential roles in muscle contraction and relaxation.
Hydrolyzed Collagen:
Provides bioavailable amino acids that support tendon, ligament, and connective-tissue strength—important for durability and long-term athletic development.
Vitamin C & Zinc:
Support collagen synthesis, tissue repair, and immune defense, helping athletes recover and stay resilient through consistent training.
L-Theanine & Alpha-GPC:
Support calm focus, cognitive performance, and reaction time by promoting healthy neurotransmitter activity—without caffeine or stimulants.
Core Lab Research for Youth Athletes
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.
Muscle & Nerve Performance
Key electrolytes support muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and coordination. Proper balance helps maintain neuromuscular function during training and competition.
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.
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.
Cognitive & Reaction Support
Alpha-GPC provides choline to support acetylcholine production, which is involved in focus, reaction time, and neuromuscular control—without stimulants.
