Busy daily hustle, intricate family commitments, long weekend travels, hectic competition schedules, the list goes on...who wants to be lugging around the large, heavy, and fragile bulk containers of powdered supplements, filling a bunch wasteful, single-use plastic zip top baggies, or using bundles of single servings packaging to stay on top of their health and wellness goals? Plus having any number of plastic bags filled with a powder at TSA feels sketchy, or at least that's how I felt.
A couple of years ago I was traveling around the world competing in CrossFit competitions. Bringing large tubs or bags of powdered supplements was never an option on these trips, so my solution at the time was to fill many plastic zip top baggies, each with one serving of the powdered supplement combination I might need throughout my travels and competition. I would transfer powder from the original bulk packaging, to the plastic bag, throw that bag into a gym or travel bag to be tossed around for who knows how long, eventually doing a final transfer from the plastic bag to it's final destination being my shaker bottle. The likelihood of the entire serving of the powder making from the bulk packaging to the shaker bottle got lower and lower with every transfer, resulting in low confidence that I was getting exactly what I needed by the time I needed it, literally losing gains and money. That was all assuming none of those bags accidently opened or broke along the way. And probably worst of all, what happened to that now empty plastic bag, right into the trash after one use, right into a landfill. Some companies have come up with their solution to this predicament, premade single serving travel packs. While this is more convenient and more reliable in providing accurate servings and in the durability of the packaging, it is still contributing waste to a landfill. I thought there had to be a better way, but there was not, so I put my engineering skills to work.
After years of ideating and many design iterations, the first functional Powd was created. It solved every single one of the issues I had as a regular powdered supplement user on the go. Gone are the days of needing to carry around large bulk packaging allowing for saved space and less weight in work, travel, school, or gym bags. In addition, a massive reduction in powder transfers guaranteeing the serving measured is the serving being consumed. And best of all no waste products going to a landfill contributing positively to a greener future.
As my life as progressed beyond competitive CrossFit, I have found additional uses for the type of convenience Powds provides and am very excited to finally share that game changing convenience with everyone!
The cherry on top, no more looking sketchy at TSA, all because of Powds!
