Clear Cut Hero is the perfect source of hydration for X3 athletes enduring the rigors of training for the NFL Combine. It's packed with electrolytes and contains just the right amount of carbs, sodium, and potassium. It comes in 6 flavors with only 5 grams of cane sugar, a mere 25 calories, and doesn't contain high fructose corn sugar, aspartame, sucralose, or red dyes.

Jordan Luallen, Director of Performance Operations and a founding member of the X3 team, commented that "hydration is an essential component of optimizing performance for these elite athletes. We were drawn not only to what was in Clear Cut Hero but what was not. To peak at the right time in this process, these athletes must remain focused not only on their physical training but also on what they put in their bodies. Clear Cut Hero provides everything these athletes need and nothing they don't with a taste they love."

Joey Nickell, CEO of Clear Cut Brands–the parent company of Clear Cut Hero –also shared his enthusiasm for the new venture, stating, "The X3 team is a perfect fit to tell the Hero story.

We look forward to contributing to the phenomenal success of both their professional and everyday athletes."
