The Problem
THE INVISIBLE ENEMY
On the frontlines, soldiers face an enemy they can't see or fight back against: severe nutritional deficit that degrades their bodies and combat effectiveness.

The Story
WHY I STARTED THIS
Kacper Konopka
Connect on LinkedIn (opens in new tab)The idea for BackTheFront came from conversations with frontline soldiers who described the brutal reality of combat nutrition. They told me about days without proper meals, about losing strength when they needed it most, about watching their brothers weaken not from enemy fire but from simple hunger.
I'm not a soldier. I'm a product developer who spent years in the supplements industry. But I realized I had the skills to create something that could make a real difference. Not charity. Not sympathy. A tool. Something that gives fighters an edge when everything else is trying to take it away.
BackTheFront is that tool. 15 grams of essential amino acids in a 60ml shot. No water needed. Fits in a vest pocket. Works in seconds. It's the product I wish existed when I first heard those stories.
Every batch we ship is a small victory. Every soldier who stays stronger is proof that science and purpose can make a difference. This isn't a business. It's a mission.
