Syracuse, N.Y. – Cicero natives Danny Drake and Mike Dalberth conceptualized their idea for an innovative post-workout nutrition product because of their stinky disgust with everything they’d tried.

Dalberth remembers working at Wegmans and discovering, late at night, the curdling remains of his protein shake clinging to reusable bottles he sometimes forgot to wash. Both childhood friends were Cicero-North Syracuse graduates who frequented the gym. They recognized the need for nutrients to replenish the work their bodies had done but believed there must be a better, more sanitary way to deliver those products.
