Our Hydration Journey
Welcome to MIKEYP.
MIKEYP began as a way to keep my brother’s spirit alive and share his story with the world.
My brother, Michael, was someone who could change the energy of a room. He was funny, selfless, and had a way of lifting people up. His friends called him “Mikey P,” a nickname that stayed with him since high school.
When Michael was diagnosed with leukemia, even then, he kept thinking of others. He participated in one of the first CAR-T cell transplant trials — an innovative treatment where immune cells from a matched donor, often sourced from an umbilical cord, are re-engineered to target cancer cells. Michael knew it might not save him, but he hoped it could help others in the future. Today, the CAR-T treatment has saved lives and continues to offer new possibilities for patients battling certain blood cancers.
Just before my brother passed, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. That pushed me to look closer at the impact of what we put into our bodies. Growing up, I had played sports when I was young, and I knew how important hydration was — not just in sports, but in life. Yet so many drinks on the shelves were filled with sugar, dyes, and artificial ingredients. That’s when the idea for MIKEYP began to take shape.
MIKEYP stands for purpose, integrity, and a commitment to better choices. It’s about creating hydration that respects your body, inspires wellness, and carries forward a legacy of care and thoughtfulness for both today and the generations to come.
The journey to build MIKEYP has been full of learning, growth, and meaning. What started as a personal mission has become something much bigger — a way to honor Michael’s spirit while offering others a cleaner, more mindful way to hydrate.
Every can of MIKEYP carries that spirit forward. And my hope is that when you take a sip, you feel a piece of it too.
Our Commitment
MIKEYP exists to fuel both body and mind while carrying forward Michael’s legacy of strength and purpose. To extend that legacy, we proudly commit a percentage of our yearly sales to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, helping support others on their journey of strength and hope.
Why We Use Transparent PET Plastic Cans
At MIKEYP, transparency isn’t just how we do business — it’s built into every can. We chose clear PET plastic cans to give you a direct look at what you’re putting into your body: clean, natural hydration with nothing to hide.
But the benefits go beyond the look.
Our entire packaging — the PET plastic can, the aluminum lid, and the label — is 100% recyclable. Every part is designed with sustainability in mind, so you can sip confidently knowing your drink is better for you and the planet.
We believe in full transparency — from our natural ingredients (including responsibly used preservatives to ensure freshness) to our eco-conscious packaging materials. No artificial colors. No hidden additives. Just a crystal-clear view of what makes MIKEYP different.
We’re proud of what’s inside — and we make sure you can see it too.
How We Use the Benefits of Our Flavors
Our flavors aren’t just delicious—they’re crafted with purpose. Each one combines electrolytes, vitamins, and amino acids to provide nutrient support that helps you stay energized, focused, and recovered throughout your day. Every sip goes beyond hydration, giving you functional benefits tied to the nutrients inside.
Here’s a look at what makes each flavor unique:
Watermelon Wonder — Refreshing watermelon flavor with nutrients that help support focus, mental clarity, and cognitive function. Perfect for staying alert and energized anytime.
Peach Performance — Smooth peach flavor with nutrients that help support body and muscle recovery. Ideal for replenishing and fueling your body after activity or anytime you need it.
Mango Momentum — Vibrant mango flavor with nutrients that help support sustained energy, endurance, and cardiovascular support. Great for powering through your day with a natural boost.
Research & Development
Our journey began with extensive research and development, bringing together a team of experts in nutrition, flavor profiling, and beverage science. Countless hours were spent in the lab, meticulously selecting the finest natural ingredients to create a formula that not only hydrates efficiently but also delights the taste buds.
Natural Ingredients, Maximum Benefits
At MIKEYP, we believe in clean, purposeful hydration. That’s why every can is crafted with high-quality ingredients, natural flavors, and natural coloring — no artificial taste, no synthetic dyes. Every element is carefully selected to support hydration, energy, and overall wellness.
To preserve the integrity of our functional ingredients, we use a very small amount of sodium benzoate — less than half the recommended limit. This gentle preservation method helps keep the functional benefits of our flavors — like energy support, hydration, and recovery — fully active and effective. Unlike pasteurization, which uses high heat that can weaken or destroy key nutrients, our approach protects the integrity of every ingredient. That means what we put in the can is exactly what your body gets: clean, powerful hydration that works as intended with every sip.
Taste Testing & Perfection
Creating a hydration drink that people would love required more than just science; it required artistry. Countless taste tests were conducted, involving diverse palates to ensure MIKEYP not only met but exceeded expectations. The result is a refreshing beverage that strikes the perfect balance between delicious and nutritious.
Sustainable Practices
MIKEYP is not just about personal well-being; it's also about caring for the planet. Our use of recyclable PET plastic cans is just one of the many ways we stay committed to sustainability. From sourcing ingredients responsibly to eco-friendly packaging, MIKEYP believes in leaving a positive impact on both individuals and the environment.
