Our maple comes from one place: Branon Family Maple Orchards, a sixth-generation family farm in the Green Mountains of Fairfield, Vermont. Each season they hand-tap around 90,000 trees for certified-organic, Grade A syrup, sampling every batch to keep the quality dialed in, and more than half of their 4,800 acres of forest is permanently conserved with the Vermont Land Trust while their sugarhouses run on solar. That's your first ingredient — real maple from people who've spent six generations perfecting it. Nothing engineered, nothing synthetic. Just clean carbohydrates the way the tree makes it.

Our salt is Baja Gold, harvested from the Sea of Cortez off Baja California — one of the most mineral-rich bodies of water on earth. It's dried by sun and desert wind and left completely unrefined, with no additives and no anti-caking agents, so it keeps the trace minerals most salts strip away: magnesium, potassium, calcium and more. That's your second ingredient — and the reason it's here. When you sweat through a long effort, you lose more than sodium, so we chose a real mineral salt that puts a fuller spectrum of electrolytes back.
