Made for
the in-between.

Sports nutrition built for the moments competition pauses and your body can't. Between periods. Between holes. Halftime. The bench.

No spam. Just product updates and the occasional bench-side dispatch.

01 — The idea

Most sports nutrition is built for marathon runners.
RIPS is for everyone else.

The endurance category isn't your category.

GU, Maurten, Science in Sport — these are made for athletes producing continuous output for hours. Most sports don't work that way.

Hydration powder isn't fuel.

Liquid IV and LMNT are for thirst. They aren't designed to put real carbs in your system in 60 seconds, between shifts.

Energy drinks aren't sport.

Bang, Celsius, C4 — built for the gym and the all-nighter. Wrong product, wrong audience, wrong moment.

02 — The product

Three pouches.
One brand.
Same idea.

Single-serve squeeze gel. Tear, drink, finish in under a minute. Built to fit where bottles and shakers don't.

04 — The in-between

The game isn't won on the field.

It's won between shifts. Between innings. At halftime. On the bench, at the tee box, on the sideline. The shift you take after intermission is decided by what happens during it.

Most sports nutrition skips that window. Endurance gels are built for continuous output. Hydration powders need a bottle and time to mix. Energy drinks belong in the gym. None of them fit in a glove, a hockey bag, a golf cart, or the back pocket of a tennis kit.

RIPS is built for that moment specifically. One pouch. Sixty seconds. Real fuel and electrolytes in your system before you go back out.

06 — Questions

The things you're going to ask anyway.

Is RIPS safe for kids?

+

Yes. The flagship RIPS line is formulated assuming a 10-year-old might have two during a tournament day without reading the label. No caffeine, no stimulants, no proprietary blends. Carbs, electrolytes, natural flavor. That's it.

RIPS+ is adult-only and contains caffeine. We make that obvious on the package and we mean it.

How is this different from Gatorade or Liquid IV?

+

Different category. Gatorade is mass-market hydration in a bottle. Liquid IV is a hydration powder you mix into water. Neither delivers fuel in 60 seconds, between shifts, with no bottle and no prep.

RIPS is a squeeze gel — you tear it open and finish it. Real carbohydrate plus electrolytes, designed specifically for the windows in stop-and-start sports.

How is this different from GU or Maurten?

+

Endurance gels are built for marathoners producing continuous output for two-plus hours. Wrong macro profile and wrong flavor language for stop-and-start sport.

RIPS is built for the opposite use case: short fuel windows, repeated across a competition, with flavors and viscosity tuned to be drinkable in under a minute.

When does it ship?

+

Pilot production is targeting Q4 2026. Public launch is Q1 2027. Founders list members get access first. We'll keep you posted with real updates, not vague hype.

Where can I buy it?

+

Direct first. We're building tryrips.com to ship single packs, multi-packs, and tournament boxes straight to you. Retail and team-supply channels follow once we have the demand to support them.
