Austin

Born and raised around Edmonton, Alberta, Austin is the visionary founder behind Best Hydrate.A boiler engineer by career and a self-taught expert in various fields, Austin's entrepreneurial journey began at the age of 18 when he built a pilot-scale aquaponics system. Over the years, he worked on more than ten businesses, driven by a relentless pursuit to find a meaningful calling.Austin's path took a life-threatening turn when he was hospitalized due to an autoimmune disease. This personal battle underscored the critical, yet often overlooked, role of hydration in health and longevity.In 2020, inspired by his discoveries that he needed more electrolytes aka salts (not less!), and in spite of the current "hydration" options with their high sugar and low salt, he started to create his own formulation at home. As a result of his formula he had an amazing health transformation and so Best Hydrate was founded in 2021. He's founded a team that is determined to transform health via innovative & superior hydration. We do this by redefining hydration as not "simple and just water" but instead by focusing on the elegant interweaving and interplay of water, nutrition, bio-electro-chemistry, and medicine.

Best Hydrate comes from wanting better options from too many retail options with high sugar content and very little science.

In a world inundated with "green washing" and an apparent need for real science a formula was created in order to be the Best alternative.
