THOUSAND OAKS, CALIF.— November 29, 2023 — Alete Active Nutrition, LLC (Alete) – a portfolio company that owns multiple sports nutrition brands, including SaltStick, Bonk Breaker, JoJé Bar® and Vitassium® – today announced plans to expand its United States distribution through Henry Schein Medical’s Athletics & Schools business. The partnership will allow athletic trainers, dietitians and strength & conditioning coaches at thousands of high schools, colleges and professional sports teams in the United States to purchase SaltStick’s portfolio of science-backed electrolyte supplements and Bonk Breaker’s all-natural, plant-based bars and chews as additions to their fueling stations.
“For more than 15 years, SaltStick and Bonk Breaker have helped keep athletes hydrated and fueled across many athletic disciplines,” said Jason Winn, Founder and President of Bonk Breaker. “Since we joined the Alete family of brands, we’ve enjoyed steady growth through our direct relationships with hundreds of NCAA Division I and professional sports teams. The agreement with Henry Schein Medical Athletics & Schools will help amplify that growth exponentially to reach thousands of athletes who can benefit from our products.”
Henry Schein Medical Athletics & Schools began carrying SaltStick and Bonk Breaker products in September 2023.
Henry Schein Medical provides sports medicine supplies and solutions for athletic trainers, physical therapists, student health clinics within higher education and K–12, strength and conditioning coaches, and more. Its products include the items sports medicine professionals need to train and treat athletes — from rehab to rehydration, braces to bandages, and equipment to emergency medical services supplies.
