Our Story

At Athlicore Labs, we believe that the right nutrition can transform an athlete’s performance and recovery. Our story started with a chance encounter and a shared passion for better sports nutrition.

Founded in 2024 by Dr. David Vanata and Christopher Jeffers, Athlicore is the culmination of decades of expertise, athletic experience, and a drive to create products that truly make a difference. It began when Chris, an endurance athlete, stumbled upon a sample of an electrolyte drink mix during training. The mix, created by Dr. Vanata, was unlike any other product Chris had tried—it worked exceptionally well, both for hydration and recovery.

To his surprise, he found that this unique product was no longer available. Dr. Vanata had previously developed a range of nutritional supplements and ran a small manufacturing business focused on helping athletes optimize their performance. However, the company had been paused due to various circumstances.

When Christopher and David reconnected at a local event, it sparked an idea: what if they combined Chris’s entrepreneurial spirit with Dave’s deep nutritional expertise? Both had business experience and both had athletic backgrounds. Countless conversations and brainstorming sessions later, Athlicore Labs was born.

We are committed to creating unique, high-quality, science-backed supplements designed for athletes of all ages and levels. We understand what it takes nutritionally to reach your potential. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or competing at the highest level, Athlicore products are here to help you perform at your best and recover faster, so you can keep pushing your limits and keep grinding.
