Our Why

We believe that humans become stronger and more resilient from being stressed and tested. The Recovery Tonic embodies our values. Our core mission is to improve your sleep and recovery, so that you can live your best life.

Our guiding principle is to live our best life and be active. Constantly train, learn and grow. Embrace hard work and avoid short-cuts. Listen to our customers and seek feedback.

We are busy parents, avid CrossFitters and also trained in biochemistry and molecular biology.

Back in 2008, we learnt about the benefits of magnesium supplementation through the CrossFit community and tried it for the first time. It helped us sleep better, recover faster and keep up with our busy lives. Fast forward ten years, we were back in New Zealand and couldn't find quality magnesium supplements easily. In New Zealand, most magnesium supplements come in the salt form, which are harder to dissolve, grittier in solution and take longer to absorb. Worst of all, they are often packed with sweeteners and fillers.

Given our background and interests, we started making our own and now want to share it with you, for your busy life. The Recovery Tonic isn't just for athletes and CrossFitters, but also for anyone wanting better sleep and faster recovery. It supports muscle relaxation, resistance against stress & chronic inflammation, and strength & cardiovascular function. We are also proud to say that our magnesium comes from natural marine sources and our citric acid supply is both natural and GMO free. Please visit our FAQ and Science pages to learn more.

Thank you for learning about the Recovery Tonic. It worked for us. Let it work for you.
