Our Story

MOXi Nutrition was born from a personal need: founder Theresa, an accomplished endurance athlete, sought a solution for debilitating muscle cramps that impacted her performance. After extensive research and personal trials, she discovered that chelated magnesium could eliminate cramps by optimizing intercellular magnesium levels. This discovery led to the creation of HydraMag®, our flagship magnesium hydration drink, and launched MOXi Nutrition into the sports hydration and nutrition industry.

Backed by over 14 years of research on magnesium and its critical role in endurance and recovery, Theresa transitioned to a scientific advisory role. Today, MOXi Nutrition is powered by a team with over 50 years of combined experience in ingredient formulation, supplement production, and endurance racing.
