Most “electrolyte” drinks are flavoured salts or sugar-free mixes that look good on shelves but don’t support real performance. Diesel was co-created with athletes and a sports nutritionist to deliver actual electrolyte replacement, gut-friendly fuel, and zero fillers. Every ingredient is there for a reason.
Raw Performance Fuel
Engineered for athletes pushing through long or intense training in hot and humid conditions, Diesel supplies targeted electrolytes and real fuel without the unnecessary fillers found in typical sports drinks. Flavoured with real fruits.
Introducing
Most electrolyte drinks are just flavoured salts. Diesel is a true performance formula that replaces what you lose, fuels your output, and stays clean and gut-friendly mile after mile.
Sweat-Matched
Replaces sodium, potassium, and magnesium in the same ratio your body actually loses through sweat, keeping hydration and muscle function steady through hard, sustained effort.
Fuel Smart
2:1 maltodextrin-to-fructose blend for efficient dual-pathway carb absorption and sustained energy - backed by evidence, used by real athletes.
Gut-Friendly
Formulated with citrate and bisglycinate forms to reduce GI discomfort, support smoother absorption, and keep your stomach settled — even when training intensity climbs or sessions run long.
Clean & Transparent
No artificial sweeteners, colors, gums, or fillers: every ingredient serves a real purpose. If it doesn’t improve hydration, performance, it’s not in Diesel.
OUR MANIFESTO
As athletes ourselves, we know what long, intense sessions really feel like - the sweat loss, the fatigue, the stomach discomfort, and the so-called “sports drinks” that are mostly flavoured salts with no carbs or science behind them. We wanted something different: a formula built on real physiology, real evidence, and real performance - not marketing.
Diesel is fuel and hydration that actually works, made only with what the body needs. Nothing more. Nothing unnecessary.
FUNCTIONAL BY DESIGN
Carb Matrix: 30g
2:1 Maltodextrin : Fructose. Dual-pathway fuel that delivers steady, gut-friendly energy - powering endurance without spikes or crashes.
Sodium: 500mg
70% Sodium Citrate : 30% Sodium Chloride. The backbone of hydration. Replaces critical sweat losses, sustains performance, and buffers muscle acidity under heat and intensity.
Potassium: 200mg
Potassium Citrate. Supports cellular hydration and muscle contraction while helping the body stay alkaline in tropical conditions.
Magnesium: 70mg
Chelated Magnesium Bisglycinate. High-absorption chelated form that aids recovery, prevents cramps, and maintains neuromuscular balance without gut stress.
Peach
Real peach sweetness from purée - naturally balanced, without artificial flavours, colours, or fillers.
Monk Fruit
A light, natural sweetness that keeps the flavour crisp without adding bulk or affecting gut comfort.

Co-created with Hannah Prescott
From the first conversation with Hannah - sports nutritionist (MSc), athlete, and trusted advisor to elite performers - it was clear we shared the same conviction: athletes deserve clean, evidence-based nutrition. Cleaner formulas. Real function. No shortcuts. Hannah’s blend of science and lived experience training in tropical environments shaped Diesel from the ground up, influencing everything from electrolyte ratios to how it sits in your stomach. Diesel is more than co-formulated; it’s co-believed in.
Used and tested by real athletes
Diesel was developed side-by-side with competitive athletes - from HYROX/hybrid racers to endurance specialists - who stress-tested it through long intervals, double sessions, and heavy conditioning days. Their feedback shaped everything: smoother energy delivery, better hydration during hard efforts, improved gut comfort, and even input on the flavour and mixability. Diesel performs because it was built with the people who demand the most from it.
Story behind our cover
Inspired by the work of Kamran Qureshi, whose piece "A Family Affair" explores the tension between our inner drive and the forces around us. Diesel was born from that same idea - channeling raw energy into purpose. Bright tones for effort, deep tones for focus; together they capture the balance between what pushes us and what powers us - the same balance every athlete learns to master.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes Diesel different from other electrolyte drinks?
Why does Diesel include carbohydrates?
Carbs are one of the most important drivers of endurance and performance - especially during long or intense sessions. Many drinks remove sugar to look healthier, but that removes the fuel your body actually needs. Diesel uses a smart 2:1 carb blend that’s easy on the stomach and supports sustained output.
When do I use Diesel?
Diesel is designed to be consumed during your workout. You can also start sipping 30 minutes before training to top up fuel and hydration - especially on hotter days or for endurance sessions.
What's in Diesel?
Diesel contains only functional ingredients, listed here from highest to lowest amount:
Maltodextrin, Fructose, Peach Powder (Peach Purée, Maltodextrin, Starch Sodium Octenyl Succinate, Peach, Citric Acid, β-Carotene), Sodium Citrate, Potassium Citrate, Citric Acid, Chelated Magnesium Bisglycinate, Sodium Chloride, Monk Fruit Extract.
No gums, no artificial sweeteners, no artificial colours, no fillers - ever.
Is Diesel suitable for shorter workouts?
Yes. For sessions under 60 minutes, you can take half a serving. It still helps with hydration, electrolyte balance, and preventing mid-workout dips - especially in hot climates or when you're stacking multiple sessions in a day.
How do I take Diesel?
Mix 2 scoops with 500 ml of water for long/intense workouts or hot days.
Use ½ scoop with 250 ml for lighter sessions.
Always add water first — it mixes cleaner.
Is Diesel sweet?
It has a clean, natural peach sweetness from real peach powder and monk fruit. No artificial sweeteners and no heavy candy-like flavour.
Is Diesel suitable for HYROX?
Yes. Diesel is specifically designed for long, mixed-modality sessions - the exact demands of HYROX. Its sweat-matched electrolytes and dual-pathway carbs support steady energy and hydration throughout the entire race.
Is Diesel only for endurance athletes?
Not at all. It works for:
- Cycling
- Running
- Track & field
- Team sports (football, rugby, etc.)
- CrossFit / hybrid athletes
- Strength training
- Long gym sessions
- HIIT
- Racket sports (badminton, tennis, squash, padel, pickleball, etc.)
- Hot-weather training
Any session where sweat, fatigue, or intensity are elevated.
Why is Diesel priced higher than typical hydration mixes?
Because Diesel uses premium forms of electrolytes, a clean carb matrix, and real ingredients,without the fillers or artificial compounds most brands rely on to cut cost. It’s built for performance, not for shaving margins.
Can beginners use Diesel?
Definitely. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or stacking long HYROX sessions, Diesel helps maintain hydration and energy better than water or flavoured salts.
