We are not a nutrition brand. We are a laboratory in profound rupture with its industrial ecosystem.
“Endurance is a journey of the body, and a window into the deepest self.”
In complete independence, we design solutions at the scientific state of the art, clean label, entirely natural, from the raw resources of our territories and our mountains.
We rethink habits to create a new Athlete Experience: free of mental load and plastic waste, turned toward the future.
We are obsessed with one mission: to free athletes from having to choose between performance and health, for a contemporary Endurance and Ultra Endurance that is honest and sustainable.
We help them pursue their quests by allowing their bodies to move at the peak of their capacities, during the effort and for a long time.
Two paths, one same standard.
Emmanuel is the son of a marine commando. He began his career as a professional rugby player, expatriated to South Africa. He was forced off the pitch in 2014 by a succession of concussions. He then devoted nearly ten years to strategy consulting firms serving major players in civil and military aeronautics. During those years, he found in alpinism and the mountains another way to explore the body's limits and stay connected to what matters most.
Florian grew up between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, in a family of entrepreneurs. A lifelong endurance sports enthusiast, he was plunged into a coma by severe hyponatremia during his first long-distance triathlon. The lesson was brutal: no passion should ever lead you to endanger your health. Two trajectories, one same conviction: performance and health should never be antagonistic.
The longer the efforts last, the more nutrition becomes the primary factor of success, or of abandonment. Yet for nearly thirty years, the market has rested on generic protocols: designed to be simple to produce, profitable to industrialize, rolled out at scale by a handful of players. They rarely meet the real physiological needs of athletes committed to prolonged efforts.
We went to present our specifications to the few manufacturers who make most of the market's products. In return, polite smiles, lessons on how the industry works, and one same verdict: unfeasible. Only one path remained, to do everything ourselves.
So we created a laboratory before creating a brand. Every formulation is born from a need observed in athletes, tested against scientific knowledge, then validated in the field. Our products incorporate raw materials from the Pyrenees when they provide a relevant physiological response, never to claim a mere “Made in France”. The territory is a resource, not a marketing argument.
Today, twelve proprietary formulas, fully produced in Toulouse in a pharmaceutical-grade laboratory, a team of eleven people.
Nutrition designed to keep you moving, during the effort and for a long time.
The raw richness of the Pyrenees, everywhere with you.
Every component has an origin, a producer, a story. Explore each orbiting satellite to discover where what you consume comes from.
Harvested on the foothills of the Pyrenees, our organic blueberry is chosen for its richness in anthocyanins, powerful natural antioxidants. A functional active that supports recovery and limits the oxidative stress of long efforts.
Humility, boldness, excellence.
Proven by special forces.
Pyrène co-develops part of its solutions with elite units of the Marine nationale. Where failure is not an option, nutrition and hydration become equipment in their own right.
Explorations impossible anywhere else
Immersion, freediving, cold, heat, load, deprivation: these operators push the human body into zones sport never reaches. A unique field of observation for extreme nutrition.
The harshest conditions
Temperature, intensity, duration, stress: we study protocols where every parameter is pushed to its limit, on bodies monitored as closely as possible. Rare data, impossible to find in a conventional laboratory.
R&D without a safety net
Digestibility under stress, energy stability, tolerance in hostile environments: every lesson drawn from the field raises the standard of our entire range.
What the elite demands, our clients inherit.
