How we're helping elite and everyday athletes perform and recover

Our Story

On a Mission

We exist to help elite and everyday athletes thrive in their chosen sporting endeavors through the power of one smart berry, the New Zealand Blackcurrant. Clean, simple, plant-based pre-workout designed to help you get more out of the work you put in.

Born from Science

Over 10 years ago our co-founders were part of a team from the New Zealand Plant and Food Research Institute that first discovered blackcurrants had benefits for exercise.

This discovery then led to an additional 10 years of research and a growing body of evidence that proved blackcurrants could improve athletic performance and speed up recovery through a highly unique mode of action.

The team was so inspired by this little berry that they were compelled to take it to the world. And that's how 2before was born.
