Founder's Story
We couldn't find it.
So we built it.

A couple of years ago I collapsed 200 metres from the finish line. Heat stroke, severe dehydration, hospital. It was a rough lesson, but it changed everything. I started testing every product I could find and kept hitting the same wall: underdosed formulas, cheap ingredients like maltodextrin that left me bloated and cramping, and proprietary blends with no transparency. So I got to work. Pulse was built in my kitchen, with my mates as the test dummies, until we landed on something that actually worked. Transparent labels. Performance dosed. Built for the everyday Aussie athlete.

Our Standard

Transparency isn't a marketing line.

It's our commitment to informing Aussies what they are putting into their body, and why.

01
No proprietary blends
Proprietary blends let brands include trace amounts of premium ingredients without telling you how much. Every active ingredient in a Pulse product has a dose next to it.
02
No Nasties
No preservatives, no artificial flavours, dyes, or colours. No BS.
03
Ingredients chosen for a reason
HBCD instead of maltodextrin for sustained energy without the GI issues.
Pink Himalayan Salt instead of table salt for bioavailability.
Betaine Nitrate from beetroot.
Monk fruit instead of stevia to reduce bloating and that horrid aftertaste.

Every choice is deliberate, and explained on the label.
"Most brands use maltodextrin and artificial sweeteners. We don't."

The Australian sports nutrition market is full of products that look the part but don't hold up when you read the label. Underdosed electrolytes. Cheap carb sources. Sweeteners that cause GI distress at hour two. We built Pulse to fix that. Our formulations are transparent because we have nothing to hide and everything to prove.
