    🗞️📰 Wow, Tages-Anzeiger just published an article about our U.S. expansion, which has also been picked up by Basler Zeitung and Berner Zeitung. 🔗(SEE LINK TO ARTICLE IN THE COMMENTS) Our expectations for the U.S. launch have already been overachieved. 🚀 We’re seeing stronger-than-expected traction from brick & mortar, now available at over 500 POS across New York and California. Next up: major rollouts at SoulCycle Inc., Bristol Farms, and Gelson's Markets — and this is only the beginning. 💪 A few notes for our Swiss community 🇨🇭👇 Yes, the KA-EX® formula is identical in Switzerland and the U.S. However, as the article explains, U.S. regulations allow us to communicate our clinically proven benefits much more openly — based on three independent studies. We’re confident that we’ll soon surpass $10M in U.S. sales alone. 🌎✨

    ✨ Career highlight! I have the honor of joining a panel at one of the most exclusive events in the beverage industry — together with brilliant innovators and industry leaders like Chris Williamson and Holland & Barrett 💡 At KA-EX® we believe the future of functional beverages is only just beginning. Our products — KA-EX recharge+ (Cortisol Stress Reduction) and KA-EX BOOST+ (Creatine, EAAs, L-citrulline) — are pioneers of this new generation. 🚀 Thanks to our proprietary dual-chamber push-cap technology (VICAP Global AG) we’re able to deliver science-backed compounds at effective dosages, opening the door to a whole new portfolio of supplement RTDs that were never possible before. Grateful to the The Beverage Forum Forum for the recognition and invitation — and excited about what’s ahead for the category.

    🚀 Within the past 4 weeks, KA-EX® has launched in 250 additional points of sale across NYC and LA — from premium gyms and grocery stores to several 7-Eleven shops in LA. Interestingly, a recent study found that 7-Eleven is the most popular grocery store among Millennials, ranking even ahead of Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. Our mission: replicate KA-EX®’s Swiss mainstream success — where it’s available at Coop, Migros-Gruppe, Coop Pronto AG, gyms, and pharmacies, often as a category leader and top seller — in the U.S. The momentum is undeniable. We’re seeing strong velocity and tremendous interest in KA-EX® across the U.S. market. Unlike in Switzerland, where supplement brands face strict restrictions on health claims, in the U.S. we can position KA-EX directly as a “Cortisol Stress Reducer” for athletes and high performers. This clear, science-backed communication is proving to be a major competitive advantage — and the results are already becoming very visible. 👉 Stay tuned — we’ll be announcing major new listings quite soon!

    What’s the highest place on Earth selling KA-EX®? Quite possibly the Restaurant Gandegghütte at 3,030 m — right next to the iconic Matterhorn 🏔️. Fun fact about KA-EX® BOOST+: most people know it contains creatine, which increases water retention in the muscles and enhances nutrient delivery. But only true experts realise it’s also formulated with: L-citrulline → opens up blood vessels for better oxygen flow Betaine → boosts mitochondrial respiration in muscle tissue In short: if you're planning to attack the Matterhorn, make sure you grab a KA-EX® BOOST+ on your way up! Big thanks to Alessandro Fuchs for supporting us. 🙌🏻 …and by the way, you don’t have to climb to 3,030 m to find KA-EX® BOOST+ — you can get it in all Coop Pronto AG stores, many Selecta machines, all PureGym, and numerous other gyms.

    Big editorial yesterday in Switzerland’s largest news outlet 20MIN. KA-EX® is being compared to Ovomaltine and Isostar as the next evolution in science-based performance drinks, with a teaser about an upcoming strategic partnership. Also, fun fact: Do you know what Albert Wander (Ovomaltine), Henri Nestlé, John Stith Pemberton (The Coca-Cola Company) and Caleb Bradham (PepsiCo) all had in common? As Pedro Pablo Schmidt, they are all pharmaceutical scientists. See the link to the article in the comments.
