Pedro Schmidt

Pedro Schmidt has a master’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences from ETH Zurich, one of the world’s leading universities, and several years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. Driven by science and innovation, he spent 5 years developing KA-EX, the only sports recovery product clinically shown to lower cortisol – the “holy grail” in post-workout recovery. KA-EX is backed by three clinical trials and has been shown to reduce cortisol by 36% within 48 hours, while improving sleep quality (+15%), HRV (+10%), daily energy (+9%), and mood (+8%).

Today, thousands of professional athletes rely on KA-EX, including TUDOR Pro Cycling, Paris Saint-Germain, Udinese, German Bundesliga clubs, the Swiss National Team, as well as many Olympic gold medallists and world champions. In Switzerland, KA-EX is among the top-10 best-selling supplements, available in 10’000 POS, including all pharmacies, supermarkets (Coop, Migros), convenience stores (Coop Pronto, Spar), gyms (incl. PureGym, Holmes Place), and many more outlets.

Now expanding into the U.S., KA-EX is available at Equinox locations in California and NYC, SoulCycle, Rumble, and 100’s of premium outlets and convenience stores, including. 7-Eleven, GoPuff and BevMo! This July, the brand launched a $3M marketing campaign featuring national TV spots, billboards, and a partnership with the New York Post, alongside collaborations with 50+ influencers such as Louis Chandler (Director of Fitness, alo Wellness Club) and leading Equinox, SoulCycle, and Barry’s Bootcamp trainers.
