Hi,

Welcome to Discovery Tuesday.

We sell over 3,700 products. You probably know the big names—Maurten, Skratch, and Honey Stinger. But in addition to these great brands, there's a whole world of innovative products that athletes may not have heard of or tried.

Every Tuesday, we meet with our purchasing team to pull out the products that deserve your attention. Some are from newer brands. Some are established brands with a product that flies under the radar. All of them are worth testing in your training.

Here's what you need to know:

1. Heart Rate: COROS - what makes this different?

The COROS Heart Rate Monitor straps to your bicep instead of your wrist or chest and the difference is impressive.
No more lag when your heart rate spikes. No more dropouts during strength training.

Just accurate data, every single time. At 9.7 grams for the sensor, you forget it's there. But the readings? Clinical-grade precision from 5 LED lights and 4 photodetectors that actually respond to what your heart is doing in real-time.
 
2. KA-EX: The Cortisol Reset Button (Today Buy One Get One Free) 

You may have seen this product in fancy gyms like Equonix. This has been shown to effectively attack cortisol stress with multiple ingredients. 

  • Phosphatidylserine (100 mg) - clinically proven to reduce cortisol levels 
  • L-glutamine (2500 mg) - supports muscle repair when cortisol is trying to break you down
  • L-tryptophan (70 mg) - improves sleep quality (which is when real recovery happens)
  • Precise glucose/fructose blend - restores optimal pH balance and replenishes muscle glycogen

The biggest surprise? The mood improvement. We didn't realize how much that lingering cortisol was affecting how athletes felt day-to-day. 

3. The Garmin Index Smart Scale (Save 15%)

You step on the scale every morning. You see a number. But is that number telling you anything useful?

The Garmin Index S2 Smart Scale measures what actually matters for athletes: body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, bone mass, body water percentage, BMI, and weight—all automatically synced to Garmin Connect via Wi-Fi.

No apps to open. No manual data entry. Just step on barefoot and your full body composition appears instantly in your Garmin dashboard alongside training load, recovery, and performance trends.

The crisp color display shows your 30-day weight trend right on the scale, while a long-lasting battery (up to 9 months) means you set it up once and forget about it. It even recognizes up to 16 users automatically, so everyone gets their own data—no profiles to manage.

This isn't just a bathroom scale. It's your body composition command center.

4. Hyperlyte Liquid Performance

A true breakthrough in high-carb hydration—because it's simple. Mix it and go.

Two scoops deliver 100g of carbohydrates and 1,000mg of sodium per serving, making it easy to hit fueling targets without complicated math or multiple products. The flavor is lightly sweet and neutral, designed to stay easy to drink during long, demanding efforts.

5. Promix Blood Flow

You've likely heard about the performance benefits of beets and dietary nitrates—and the science is solid. Improved blood flow means better oxygen delivery to working muscles, allowing you to push harder and sustain efforts longer.

Promix Blood Flow combines organic beetroot powder with Propionyl-L-Carnitine (PLCAR) in a formula that actually tastes good mixed with water. The naturally occurring nitrates support vasodilation, helping your body deliver oxygen more efficiently when you have a harder workout.

Try something new - and see if it helps you jumpstart your goals for 2026.
