The Cleanest Electrolyte Ever—And It Helps You Sleep

You’ve never experienced an electrolyte like this.

Introducing R•E Fountain by Pique — the cleanest electrolyte on the market, designed specifically for deep, restorative sleep. No sugar. No fillers. No artificial flavorings. Just triple-biomaxed magnesium (glycinate, taurate, and L-threonate), real lemon and lemongrass, and Himalayan pink salt.

RE Fountain is what your evening routine has been missing. It’s a soothing, spa-inspired nightcap that calms your nervous system, helps you fall asleep faster, and supports cognitive recovery—so you wake up feeling sharp, not sluggish.

From the first drink, you’ll feel a wave of calm. Within weeks, deeper sleep and brighter mornings become your new normal. No melatonin grogginess. No gut disruption. Just clean, science-backed calm in a glass.

Sleep experts and wellness pros are already making it their go-to nightly ritual.

💧 Sleep clean. Wake clear.
