The partnership will provide pre- and post-workout supplements for the men’s and women’s Brooklyn Football Club and Brooklyn Pro & Minor League Pickleball teams for the 2026–2027 season

Swiss supplement innovator KA-EX today was named the Official Performance Partner for both the men’s and women’s Brooklyn Football Club and Brooklyn Pickleball Pro and Minor League teams, through March 2027.

KA-EX will provide recovery and performance products (the brand’s flagship Cortisol Stress Reducer post-workout supplement and recently launched Creatine EAA+ Booster) to the teams, supporting player wellness, hydration, and recovery on and off the field. Formulations combine electrolytes, amino acids, vitamins, and alkali salts to support hydration, muscle recovery, and overall performance.

KA-EX enters the U.S. professional sports market with a track record of supporting elite European sports teams, including the Tudor Pro Cycling team and leading clubs in Italy, Germany, and Switzerland, such as Serie A football, the Swiss Super League, and Swiss National League ice hockey.

“Partnering with Brooklyn Football Club and Brooklyn Pickleball’s respective performance and recovery programs to support player wellness gives us the opportunity to further expand the sports communities we reach,” said Pedro Schmidt, CEO and Founder of KA-EX and ETH Zurich-trained pharmaceutical scientist. “Our mission is to help athletes perform at their highest level, and we look forward to supporting these teams throughout the season.”

About The Products:

  • KA-EX Creatine EAA+ Booster offers pre-workout support for power output, endurance, and muscle recovery, with each serving containing Creapure® creatine, L-Citrulline, Essential Amino Acids, caffeine, electrolytes, and more to support muscle function throughout training.

  • KA-EX Cortisol Stress Reducer is a post-workout beverage formulated to reduce elevated cortisol levels following strenuous training and high-performance events, with key ingredients like electrolytes, amino acids, and phosphatidylserine.

  • The ready-to-drink format of both products features a patented VICAP® dual-chamber delivery system to ensure bioactive ingredients are delivered intact and at full dose. Products also come in sachet format, and are vegan, gluten-free, and Informed Sport-certified.

Both partnerships include co-branded content creation, social media initiatives, and athlete highlights. As part of the Brooklyn Pickleball partnership, the KA-EX logo will be featured on the back of all pro and minor league jerseys, as well as retail jerseys. An experiential activation is planned between KA-EX and the two teams for late 2026.

“KA-EX is well known in athletics for its high-quality performance, hydration, and recovery products,” said Jamie Terrell, Director of Partnerships at Brooklyn FC. “The brand shares our commitment to player wellness and will provide our athletes with tools to support their training and recovery routines.”

“KA-EX approaches performance and recovery with a level of innovation and commitment that aligns closely with how we operate as an organization,” said Adam Behnke, Chief Business Officer of Brooklyn Pickleball. “We’ve seen firsthand how KA-EX helps athletes perform and recover at a higher level, making their products a valuable part of our performance ecosystem from Minor League players to some of the best professionals in the world.”

About KA-EX:

KA-EX® is a premium Swiss performance and wellness supplement brand founded by ETH Zurich-trained pharmaceutical scientist Pedro Schmidt, launched in Switzerland in 2017 and now the country’s best-selling supplement. After entering the U.S. with its top-performing Cortisol Stress Reducer, the brand is expanding its portfolio with the Creatine EAA+ Booster in April 2026. Trusted by thousands of professional athletes, teams, and high-performing individuals worldwide, KA-EX unites pharmaceutical-grade formulation, ingredient transparency, clinical validation, and a patented VICAP® dual-chamber delivery system to ensure bioactive ingredients are delivered intact and at full dose. Products are currently available on KA-EX.com and via The Feed.
