our story

3x Faster Absorption
6 Key Electrolytes
Vegan & Non-GMO
72 Trace Minerals
01 — The Problem
Staying hydrated should be simple.
Yet many hydration products force people to choose between performance, taste, and ingredients they can feel good about putting into their bodies. We believed there had to be a better way.
03 — The Team
What started as one founder's frustration became a shared mission between three friends.
Cody Alt
Co-Founder
Born and raised in small-town Montana, Cody built his work ethic in the oil fields before becoming an entrepreneur. Cody brought a builder's mindset to SkyMD and a belief that products should solve real problems.
Landon Neubauer
Co-Founder
Landon spent 12 years on the front lines as a wildland firefighter — hiking into remote country, rappelling from helicopters, and working brutal shifts in extreme heat. Out there, hydration wasn’t optional. It was the difference between performing and going down. That experience is woven into SkyMD today. He's seen what dehydration, heat, and hard recovery do to the body when the work can't wait — and he's carried the first responder community with him into everything we build.
04 — Backed by Medicine
We knew hydration was too important to build on opinions alone. That's why we worked with doctors, food scientists, registered dietitians, and medical experts to help guide the development of SkyMD.

05 — The Performance
SkyMD was also shaped by elite performance experts who understand what the body needs during training, heat, recovery, and high-output days.
From performance coaches to athlete-facing specialists, we built SkyMD with people who work with some of the highest performers in the world.

06 — The Formula
01
Taste
Hydration should be enjoyable. Clean, refreshing, and easy to drink every day. Not too salty. Not too sweet.
02
Balance
We believe hydration is about more than sodium alone. SkyMD is built with bioavailable electrolytes, minerals, and plant-based ingredients designed to support absorption and hydration — the right balance your body can actually use.
03
Trust
From first responders and physicians to food scientists, registered dietitians, and elite performance coaches, every formula is built with guidance from people we trust ourselves.
04
Innovation
We never stop improving. We listen to our community, evaluate the latest research, and continuously refine our formulas. Hydration science is always evolving — and so are we.
07 — Real Life
Whether you're training for a race, working a demanding job, serving your community, or simply trying to feel your best, hydration matters.
Built for work.
Built for travel.
Built for performance.
Built for running.
Built for long days.
08 — The Mission
First responders put their health and lives on the line every day to protect our communities.
Many face an increased risk of occupational cancer from years of exposure to smoke, toxins, and hazardous environments while serving others.
That's why SkyMD donates 5% of annual profits to support early cancer detection initiatives for first responders.
Because supporting the people who protect us isn't just part of our mission—it's part of who we are.
