Our Mission

Our mission is simple: we want to support people in working on themselves – regardless of their level. We believe in progress over perfection. In training that delivers results, and in nutrition that enables performance. Every ESN product is designed to help you become a little better every day – 1% better, every day.

Our Values

We follow clear principles. Our products are based on the latest research and scientific evidence. We develop them together with athletes and coaches to ensure they perform in real life – not just in the lab. Quality is not a promise, but a process: every batch is tested, every detail checked, every formula questioned. We communicate openly, show how we produce and test, and make performance accessible to everyone – from professionals to everyday athletes.

Our Brand Foundation

  • Athletes as our origin: We develop our products together with athletes and coaches.
  • Designed for performance: Our formulations are focused on performance, recovery, and continuous progress.
  • Quality as a standard: Quality is tested, verified, and transparently documented.
  • Accessibility for everyone: Regardless of training level, we make progress achievable for all and support you on your journey.

Our Product Philosophy

We combine research, science, and practice into a clear philosophy: every product must work, be scientifically proven, practically relevant, and convincing in taste.

Our internal Research & Development team of nutrition scientists, physicians, chemists, and food technologists reviews hundreds of studies for each formulation. AI-supported analyses help us integrate new research faster. Every formula is reviewed and further developed on a regular basis, because progress is a continuous process.

“Our research is not based on marketing promises, but on evidence.”
