The best ideas are born out of the needs of one but end up helping many

Today ATAQ provides the most
advanced plant-based sports nutrition
products to power athletes and active
individuals with high performance
demands.

 
It all started with a simple search for products that didn’t exist. Co-Founder Tammo picked up road cycling after he moved from the East Coast to California. To fuel his training rides and adapt to a generally healthier nutrition regiment his coach encouraged him to cut out all artificial and animal-based ingredients from his diet. What sounded fairly easy at first turned out to be quite complicated. Eating healthy is easy but eating healthy to fuel your workouts and provide the body with what it needs to give peak performance are two different things.
The hunt for plant-based sports nutrition products was on but back in 2013 it was impossible to find products that were truly healthy, yet particularly designed and formulated for athletes. The idea for a company that provides clean high-performance, plant-based and all-natural products was born. In 2016, co-founders Tammo Walter and Nikki Halbur decided to bridge the gap and have been #ontheATAQ ever since.
