MAUNA — Endurance Drink Mix Born in Hawaiʻi

Why Mauna Exists

Fuel from an island.
Not from a lab.

Most hydration sticks are invented by people in lab coats. MAUNA is made from things that grow: Hawaiian sea salt, coconut, real fruit, and māmaki leaf. The salt puts back what you sweat out. The fruit and coconut give your legs real energy to keep going. That’s the whole trick — salt for your sweat, fuel for your muscles, nothing invented — so you can go the extra mile while everyone else is running on empty.

Everyday sticks are made for desks and gym bags. Race fuel is made for the starting gun. MAUNA is made to go the distance — one stick per bottle from your first mile to your last, still doing its job at hour ten, long after the others tapped out.

What’s Inside

Everything in the stick has a job.

Eight ingredients. You can pronounce all of them, and most of them grow on the island or come out of the sea around it. Tap one.

The quiet work

60mg of magnesium in the malate form that’s easy on a working stomach — plus the trace minerals, the tiny ocean minerals refined salt strips out, riding along in real paʻakai. You’d never taste them. You’d notice if they were gone.

Side by Side

Same shelf. Different job.

Everyday sticks give you salt with no fuel. Race mixes give you fuel with barely any salt. We refused to choose — because at hour six, you can’t.

Our Story

Raised on the mountain.
Named for it.

We grew up chasing each other up ridgelines on Kauaʻi and Oʻahu — long before anyone called it “training.” Racing took us around the world. The fade at hour six followed us everywhere, and so did the same thought: everything we needed was growing back home.

So we came back and built it. Paʻakai from salt ponds that have been worked for generations. Māmaki — a leaf that grows nowhere else on Earth — from island farms we name on every bag. Real fuel, because the mountain doesn’t care how hydrated you are if the tank is empty.

MAUNA is ours. The mountain isn’t. Everyone is welcome on it — that’s the ohana part, and we mean it.

Questions

Before you tear one open.

Those are everyday sticks — salt or a splash of sugar, built for a desk, a flight, a gym hour. MAUNA pairs everyday-stick sodium (1,000mg) with race-fuel carbohydrate (24g, 100 calories) in one stick, because after hour four you need both and nobody else gives you both. If your days are short, they’re great. If your days are long, you already know why you’re here.

Take it on the days you go. One stick in 16–24oz, starting from hour one, one bottle every 60–90 minutes after that. It’s not a daily wellness habit and we won’t pretend it is — it’s for the 3–5 days a week you’re actually out there.

It’s the point. “Bonking” is a fuel problem, not a salt problem — zero-calorie sticks can’t fix it. 24g of carbohydrate from coconut palm sugar and coconut water is real energy your gut can actually absorb mid-effort. If you want zero calories, there are forty brands for that.

Neither, on purpose. The #1 reason people abandon their mix mid-day is taste fatigue — too salty or too cloying, and by hour five you stop drinking. MAUNA is kept light and low-sweet so the last bottle goes down as easy as the first. Coconut palm sugar reads warm, not candy-sweet.

A member of the nettle family that grows only in Hawaiʻi — nowhere else on Earth. Island families have brewed the leaf for generations, and we source ours from Hawaiʻi farms we name on the bag. It’s in every stick as the taste of home, not as a magic claim — we’ll leave the miracle-leaf marketing to other people.

Pick a flavor (or the Variety Pack), and a 30-count bag lands every month for $29.95 — 25% off the one-time price, free shipping always. Your first order can be the Mauka Kit with the 32oz bottle and the Nā Pali box. Swap flavors, pause, or cancel in two taps. No calls, no guilt trips.

No caffeine, no dyes, no artificial sweeteners, no “proprietary blend” hiding anything. Eight ingredients, listed by weight, heads up that coconut is a tree nut. What’s on the bag is what’s in the bag.
