‘Strength. Calm. Balance’
Those are the words displayed when you open wellness brand Alivia’s website.
A brand that is inspired by nature and backed by science. A brand that believes that wellness shouldn’t simply be a luxury, but a way of life.
Supplements designed for active gym-goers, athletes and ‘everyday achievers’ that they can trust.
And why wouldn’t they when the co-founder happens to be AFL great Patrick Cripps.
Along with nutritionist Derek Johnson, ALIVIA was born from a need to access the best-quality supplements with natural ingredients that didn't compromise on quality.
Says Patrick:
"For years, my curiosity has taken me on a journey to explore my potential and chase peak performance. Through this I was lucky enough to be introduced to Derek Johnson, an expert nutritionist who has worked with the best high performers in the world to build their bodies from the inside out.
Through his expertise and advice, the hardest part was finding the best quality supplements that were athlete-approved in AUSTRALIA. Clean, natural ingredients from the highest quality sourcing.
When I couldn't find what I needed, I decided to team up with a great crew to build something ourselves, with the whole goal being to help others who are also on their own journey exploring their limits."
If you’re an active runner, athlete or just need a little performance boost, this might be the missing piece your routine needs.
What is Alivia
Investing in the highest-quality raw materials from trusted global suppliers, every ALIVIA product is dosed at the levels that are proven effective in peer-reviewed research.
Below, a round up of their best products as well as their benefits as guided by and partly written by my wellness enthusiast colleague Steph. Steph not only works at Adore Beauty full time, she is also a runner and is a fan of the ALIVIA brand.

ALIVIA Every Day Hydration, $49.95
Why should you take electrolytes? According to Healthline, when water is boosted with electrolytes, it may improve not only physical performance, but also up the hydration for those who are feeling unwell and need a fast dose to rehydrate.
They can also replenish energy lost during exercise.
Electrolytes control how fluid moves in and out of your cells. Without the right balance, water passes through your body without being absorbed where it's needed.
ALIVIA's formula uses Taurine as an osmolyte to help cells actively pull water in and retain it, meaning your brain, muscles, and skin stay hydrated at a celular level, not just on the surface. The result is leveled energy, sharper focus, better output (physical and/or mental), and longer lasting hydration without sugar.

ALIVIA Every Day Hydrogen Bath Tablets, $89.95
When dissolved in water, hydrogen is released into the bath and absorbed through the skin. At the surface, it helps reduce oxidative stress in the skin, supporting skin health and appearance. Beneath the surface, it supports muscles and joints by helping reduce cellular damage.
Less damage allows the body to relax, recover, and function more efficiently, supporting skin health, muscle recovery, and overall wellbeing. Used at the end of the day, it helps shift the body into a more relaxed, parasympathetic state, supporting deeper, more restorative sleep.
Key features:
- A single-use hydrogen bath tablet designed for recovery, relaxation and everyday reset.
- As the tablet dissolves, magnesium reacts with water to release molecular hydrogen and magnesium ions, creating ultra-fine bubbles that elevate your bath experience.
- Whether it’s a post-training wind down or just unwinding after a hard day, this bath tablet helps support that relaxation for mind and muscle.
- How to use ALIVIA Every Day Hydrogen Bath Tablets.
