The big picture
A category with a
proven blind spot.
Sports nutrition is one of the fastest-growing categories in global consumer health, and it has a well-known blind spot: nearly every product in the category competes on ingredient count, while almost none can prove what actually reaches the athlete’s cells. CLE Drops was built to close that gap, and we believe it is positioned to become the mineral-delivery standard across professional sport, retail and performance training worldwide.
We are seeking a significant capital partner to fund full-scale expansion: professional sports team partnerships, national and international retail distribution, gym and strength & conditioning facility placement, and direct-to-consumer growth across North America, Europe, Asia and beyond.
Why CLE Drops is different, and defensible
Advantages competitors
cannot copy.
01 Single-source exclusivity
CLE Holistic Health holds exclusive worldwide rights to one prehistoric shale mineral deposit, the origin of our entire fulvic mineral platform. No other company on earth has access to this source. This is not a formulation advantage that can be copied, it is a geological asset under exclusive ownership.
02 Vertically integrated production
We own the Canadian farms producing our botanical ingredients and control our proprietary water-osmosis extraction process, giving us a level of supply-chain control competitors sourcing from commodity markets cannot replicate.
03 Delivery science, not ingredient count
CLE Drops uses a fulvic-chelated, low-molecular-weight delivery format (under 1,000 Da) studied for crossing biological barriers standard mineral forms cannot. This is the product’s core differentiator against every major greens-powder and electrolyte competitor in the category.
04 Built for elite sport from day one
WADA certified (STM-WADA 250626), third-party tested on every batch, with zero stimulants or banned substances, meeting the compliance bar required for professional and Olympic-level athletes.
05 Athlete and practitioner credibility
CLE Drops has been used and endorsed by professional-level performance staff, including NHL strength and conditioning leadership and professional athletes, and is positioned across 12+ sport-specific use cases (hockey, soccer, MMA, golf, running and more) grounded in real physiological demand, not generic marketing.
The opportunity
Every channel where
performance decisions are made.
CLE Drops is currently sold direct-to-consumer with an established digital acquisition infrastructure. The next phase of growth is where we believe the category-defining opportunity lies, across a wide range of channels where trust, performance credibility and delivery science translate directly into distribution potential.
- →Professional sports team partnerships. Positioning CLE Drops as the mineral-delivery standard within professional and elite amateur team training and recovery programs across major global sports, including soccer/football (including European markets), basketball, baseball, hockey, tennis, MMA and combat sports, and golf, each a distinct, high-visibility partnership opportunity.
- →Strength & conditioning and performance facilities. Placement within gyms, private training facilities, and collegiate/professional performance programs.
- →Collegiate and university athletics. Athletic department and sports performance program partnerships, a channel where WADA-certified, physician-formulated products carry particular credibility.
- →Clinics and practitioner channel. Naturopathic, integrative medicine, sports medicine, and physiotherapy/rehabilitation clinics. We have already developed a structured practitioner partnership program and clinical education materials to support this exact channel.
- →Recovery and wellness centers. Cryotherapy, IV therapy, and recovery-focused facilities, an emerging and fast-growing distribution category for performance products.
- →National and international retail distribution. Expansion beyond direct-to-consumer into major sports nutrition and specialty health retail channels.
- →Pharmacy and health retail. For markets where regulatory registration supports this channel.
- →International master distributor and licensing. A proven mechanism for entering new geographic markets without building direct operations from scratch in each one.
- →Global market expansion. The United States and Canada today, with a clear pathway into the United Kingdom, European Union and Asia-Pacific markets.
- →Continued clinical and performance research. Expanding the evidence base that already differentiates CLE Drops from ingredient-count competitors.
We believe the category is large, underserved on the delivery-science dimension, and ready for a single platform to lead it across every channel where athletes, clinicians and performance professionals make product decisions. We built the product to do that. We are seeking the capital partner to help us do it at scale.
What we’re seeking
A partner, not just capital.
We are seeking an experienced sports nutrition or consumer performance-category investment partner prepared to provide significant growth capital, ideally one who also brings distribution relationships, professional sports and team connections, and international market access, not capital alone.
Proprietary position
A decade of assets
behind the advantage.
CLE Drops’ competitive advantage rests on assets not available to any other company in the sports nutrition category: exclusive worldwide rights to our mineral source, company-owned agricultural production of our key botanical ingredients, a proprietary extraction process, and a compliance and formulation infrastructure built over more than a decade of operation.
