KA-EX is a rather interesting health and nutrition company when it comes to both the ingredients and effects it brings together in its signature supplement, as well as the format in which it delivers everything. Originally from Switzerland, the brand is now available here in the US at Earthbar locations and Equinox gyms in California. KA-EX and its self-titled product, KA-EX, are all about supporting, improving, and enhancing recovery, although not by the exclusive use of BCAAs and EAAs like we usually see.
There are two options with KA-EX; one is familiar powder, where you get a single serving in a sachet, tear it open, pour it into a shaker or glass, mix it around, and then drink. The other way to go is the KA-EX beverage, which is a bottle with active ingredients squeezed into the lid; then, when you push the top down, it drops into the solution. This is so that the formula isn’t left sitting around in liquid and minimizing the efficacy of the individual ingredients, but can be dropped and mixed when you’re ready.
As for the all-important formula and effects of KA-EX, which is where the Swiss brand differentiates itself, you get a variety of vitamins and minerals, from vitamin c and e through to zinc, calcium, and potassium. A lot of those minerals or electrolytes are there to support the hydration side too, with the likes of sodium at 180mg, 110mg of magnesium, and 580mg of potassium.
The other components in KA-EX’s powder and beverage supplements is where it gets a lot more interesting, as alongside all of the vitamins and minerals is glutamine, tyrosine, cysteine, betaine, and phosphatidylserine, and they are what’s responsible for the more unique benefits. The brand promises reduced physical and mental fatigue with its products, improved muscle protein synthesis, better muscle recovery, enhanced digestion, liver health, stress and cortisol control, as well as anti-aging support.
As mentioned, KA-EX does have something different on its hands, and that is not easy to do in this day and age. The variety of benefits it looks to support is more than almost every other functional beverage on the market, and it keeps the experience and support consistent as you get the same ingredients and dosages in the powder packets and drink. You can read more about the brand at ka-ex.com, where you can purchase either of the items, and for those here in the US, Earthbar and Equinox are where you go.
