Your health is your greatest adventure asset
Not your gear, your map, or your ambitions...
Out on trail and in daily life - above all else, your body and health determines everything.
When fatigue creeps in, sleep gets disrupted, recovery and inflammation hang around, gut health gets messy and you fall sick, what started as an adventure quickly becomes a suffer fest.
That’s the reality for hikers, mountaineers, and multi-day adventurers. And while supplements can be a game-changer - almost all of them were built for someone else.
- Bodybuilders got their supplement stacks.
- Runners got gels, powders and drinks.
- Even biohackers got their “live to 200” routines.
But for people like us? That spend time in the gym to train for life outdoors. That want to maximise every minute of this amazing life - not live in a lab until 150….we couldn’t find a brand or specialised products for us.
That’s why we built Optiventure.
Because we don’t want your adventure to end with your health giving out. And your health routine shouldn’t stop when your adventure begins.

The first supplement system built for backcountry life...
Optiventure Core is our solution...
Everything about Optiventure is designed for outdoor adventurers.
We use the cleanest and most potent bioavailable nutrients, time-specific dosing (AM/PM), and specialised formulation logic to support energy, gut health, inflammation, immunity, sleep, recovery and more - all in a simple lightweight system that fits in your pack (and looks great on your kitchen counter).
It replaces 12+ bottles, removes all guesswork, and keeps your health dialled in from day one to day 100.
For a life of travel and adventure.
Our community isn’t defined by a sport. It’s defined by a way of life.
Some of us hike long trails, some climb big peaks, some of us are travelling the world and some of us squeeze in backcountry weekends between work and family.
Some are just starting out - discovering the life changing passion for the outdoors and some have decades of trail stories in their boots.
From road trippers to mountaineers, thru-hikers to weekend rockclimbers - we all chase growth, adventure, truth, and our next summit.

Designed for the Trail. Built for Your Adventurous Life.
Everything we create follows a simple rule:
If it wouldn’t go in your pack on a multi-day expedition, it doesn’t belong in your life.
And that means:
seamlessly...into trail, training, travel and rest days.
so you get more health and performance benefits with less products.
to simplify your health routines and improve overall effectiveness.
nutrients and formulations that deliver clean, premium, effective supplements.
packaging design that travels and packs easily and is good for multiple adventures.
We're here to help you thrive on trail and reach your summits.
We aim to help outdoor adventurers live intentionally, adventure further, and stay in the game for decades to come. Because this isn’t just a phase, it’s who we are.
Optiventure exists to serve those who live differently, push harder to see how much of themselves they can unlock in the great outdoors and keep going when others stop.
We believe optimal health is your baseline to a life of adventure, not a luxury. So we build supplement systems that support your body wherever you are - home, hut, hostel, or high camp.
Like the best backpack. Lightweight, powerful and essential.
We build like we hike. If it doesn’t earn its place, it gets left behind.
Every Optiventure product is crafted with the same discipline we bring to the trail. No fluff. No fillers. No gimmicks.
We believe in clean, efficient, high-impact systems designed to carry their weight and perform when it counts. That means every capsule, every ingredient, and every dose has to serve a real purpose. If it doesn’t help you in a meaningful way...it doesn’t belong in your pack or your life.
Because like you, we know that out there, performance and efficiency matters. And when your health is the difference between calling it or conquering it - your system better be built to hold up under pressure.

Transparency Always
Clear labels, clear communication.
Win-Win or No Deal
From partners to customers, we act with integrity.
Extreme Ownership
We take full responsibility for every product and decision.

Cam Bostock
Co Founder
From a childhood road-tripping around Australia to walking 5,000km from Mexico to Canada, Cam’s life has been shaped by the trail. After reigniting his love for hiking in his early 20s, he became one of Australia’s biggest outdoor content creators, documenting thru-hikes like the Bibbulmun Track, Te Araroa, and the Pacific Crest Trail. Frustrated by the lack of health solutions built for adventurers, Cam co-founded Optiventure to help adventurers optimise their lives with purpose built and simple supplement solutions.

Born in Kenya and raised in Australia, Hursh has been chasing summits—literal and entrepreneurial—since he was a kid. After building and selling his first business, he reconnected with the outdoors on the Bibbulmun Track and went on to climb Kilimanjaro, trek the Himalayas, and dive deep into trail life. A long-time health and nutrition obsessive, Hursh merged his love for adventure and wellness into Optiventure—a brand he was destined to create. For him, this is more than a product. It’s a way of life.
