Why is there sucralose in Echelon?

We use minimal levels of sucralose for sweetness modulation.  We never use high heat to ensure there’s no breakdown of compounds during production, resulting in a pure and harmless form. We added fiber and isomaltulose to effectively balance the sugar breakdown.

How is the military involved with Echelon?

Over the past two years, our community of 2,000+ U.S. Military service members and veterans formulated, iterated and developed Echelon with us. Echelon was created to deliver a performance in line with their specific needs, whether it’s rigorous training, mental acuity and general motor performance. These individuals, representing all branches of service and deployment environments, actively participated in both qualitative and quantitative insight for our R&D team to design the final product. In addition, 40% of our internal team are veterans with high-performance fitness regimens and were all deeply involved in product development. 

We’ve also partnered with the Green Beret foundation, an organization that provides Special Forces Soldiers and their families with emergency, immediate, and ongoing support. We donate a percentage of each sale back to the foundation to support Green Berets and other Special Forces Soldiers.
