About Blonyx

Blonyx is an intelligent supplement brand run by exercise physiologists, CrossFit Affiliate coaches, owners, and athletes. We believe that the sports supplement market has lost its way with complex and untested products with little or no science backing being heavily marketed towards our community. Our aim is to bring the industry back to the science. We make high quality, simple and clean performance enhancing and supporting products for elite level athletes; products that they can understand, research and trust before taking. We only use ingredients tested in multiple studies on athletes while training, which we believe is the only way you will really know if a product works and is safe.

We are based in Vancouver and have a team of 15 staff, based either in Vancouver or across N.America and Europe. www.blonyx.com
