BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. is a Canadian company based in Toronto that produces nutrition products for athletes and exercise enthusiasts.

Matt Nichol, former Toronto Maple Leafs strength and conditioning coach, developed a high performance sports mix of amino acids and electrolytes. The mix contains beets which makes it pink in color. He worked with a team of scientists to ensure the mixture was safe for professional and Olympic Athletes. Incorporated in 2009 with co-founder and businessman John Celenza, BioSteel Sports HPSD was originally sold exclusively to professional teams and franchises.

In 2010, Gary Roberts reported that hockey players were drinking BioSteel during a Hockey Night in Canada playoff broadcast which led to BioSteel expanding their distribution to general consumers. BioSteel is distributed through grocery stores and retail channels across Canada.

BioSteel holds an annual hockey training session of NHL players in Toronto which lasts four days in late August. Nichol and Gary Roberts, former NHL player, partnered to create a super camp for Toronto-area hockey players. The event, created and organized by BioSteel, is an annual training session before traditional NHL training camps begin. Known as "#Camp," the event takes place at St. Michael's College School Arena. By its second year in 2011, there were 20 NHL players and 16 top prospects in attendance.

In 2015, BioSteel and Canada Basketball launched the high school All-Canadian Basketball Game. The competition featured a dunk contest and a three-point contest at Orangeville, Ontario's Athletic Institute, and an all-star game at Ryerson University's Mattamy Centre. The top 24 high schoolers from across Canada took part in the event.
