Benefits of Using Gummies for Exercise
Why Take a Gummy for Hydration?
Gummies absorb rapidly and start working faster than drinks, pills, or powders. Take Hydrafuel electrolyte + fuel gummies during exercise to keep your body hydrated and performing its best. Hydrafuel’s unique combination of optimized electrolytes + fuel helps your body hydrate more effectively, which increases energy and fends off dehydration.
How to Take Pre-Workout Gummies
Enjoy one pouch of workout gummies 5 to 10 minutes before your workout. Please remember that this chewable pre-workout contains caffeine. Use caution if you know you’re sensitive to caffeine. Please consult a healthcare professional before using if you are of childbearing age, pregnant, or breastfeeding. We don’t recommend combining our product with another caffeinated product or food.
Use according to directions for best results, and please do not take more gummies than the recommended serving size. For best results, chew each gummy thoroughly. Keep these pre-workout gummies away from curious children and pets. If the safety seal is missing or broken, discard it and do not eat it. You can store these preworkout gummies wherever is convenient due to our non-melting formula.
How to Take Gummies For Recovery
Enjoy an entire pouch of Recover gummies after workout. Please use according to the packaging instructions, and do not take more than the recommended serving size. For the best results from a recovery gummy, chew each one completely. For everyone’s safety, keep away from curious children and pets. If the safety seal on your pouch is broken or missing, throw the product away and do not use it. Our gummies won’t melt, so you can store them wherever is convenient.
Why Take a Gummy Instead of a Pre-Workout?
The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition published a study reporting that combining a pre-workout supplement with a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout significantly increased workout gains. An increase in VO2 max, amount of training, and lean body mass were seen, as well as losing body fat at a higher rate. You can increase the efficacy of your pre-workout by eating it.
What Makes our Gummies Special? (Key Ingredients)
Energon Cube
Controlled-release Carbohydrates
Why do we use sugar in our preworkout? (Isn’t sugar bad for you?!) Well, the sugar that we use is critical to our timed release energy. This means you don’t just get a big energy spike and crash, but instead you get sustained energy for your whole workout!
Natural Caffeine
Controlled-release caffeine raises and sustains mental focus, allowing you to intensely workout more easily.
BCAA Mix
BCAA blend supports muscle growth during and after a workout.
Ginseng
This potent herbs supports endurance, enhancing your workout gains.
Recover Post-Workout Chew
BCCA Mix
BCCA’s helps reduce muscle soreness and speeds recovery.
Ginger Extract
Ginger is anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant powerhouse herb. It’s ability to decrease inflammation and reduce oxidative damage from working out aids your post-workout recovery.
By using pectin, a plant ingredient, all of our gummies are plant-based.
High Glycemic Sugars to Replace Glycogen
Why do we use sugar in our post-workout? (Isn’t sugar bad for you?!) These high-glycemic sugars are greedily absorbed by your body after working out. You have a 40 minute window after a work out to replenish your muscles’ glyogen stores, which gives you a faster, better recovery so you can get back to working out without injury!
HydraFuel Electrolyte + Fuel Gummy
High Bioavailability Electrolytes: These highly bioavailable electrolytes rapidly replenish and accelerate electrolyte rebalance. We use the optimized blend of electrolyte ratios recommended by The World Health Organization, which provides your body with precisely what it needs to stay hydrated.
Fast-Release Carbohydrates: Did you know carbohydrates help your body stay hydrated? The easy-to-absorb carbohydrates in the HydraFuel gummy quickly recharge energy stores, prevents fatigue, and actively work with electrolytes to boost efficient hydration.
Sodium
Sodium is the number one tool for treating dehydration and is a necessary electrolyte for fluid balance. Sodium works with other electrolytes to help your body absorb water when dehydrated.
Potassium
Potassium works in tandem with sodium, which pulls water into the blood. Potassium takes water from the blood and helps cells absorb the exact amount of fluid they need.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a powerful electrolyte that binds to water and helps you hydrate faster and more effectively.
Chloride
Chloride is essential for hydration because it works with other electrolytes to support a healthy fluid balance and helps your body keep its acid-base at a healthy level.
Zinc
Zinc is necessary for hydration and helps the body cope with acidosis, a side-effect of dehydration and illness.
Glucose
Did you know that the World Health Organization (WHO) considers glucose, or simple carbohydrates, an electrolyte? Glucose helps the body absorb water and sodium in the small intestine in a healthy ratio.

Your body performs best with the right fuel.
Our bodies can only store so much energy. Before an intense workout, it is important to top off the tank to ensure you have enough fuel to power your muscles. The more intense the activity, the quicker you burn through energy reserves. To ensure muscles are operating optimally, you need fuel that is readily available and will last over time.
Power Up gummies contain an optimal mix of high and low glycemic sugars ideal for high intensity and endurance training. Compared to other products, Power Up provides prolonged energy when you need it, without the crash.
What you do immediately after a workout is just as important as the workout itself. Consuming a high GI carbohydrate right after an intense workout has a compounding effect: spiking insulin and replenishing muscle glycogen. Insulin helps speed the delivery and absorption of nutrients, and because it reduces muscle breakdown, it improves net protein balance. Glycogen is the fuel reserve for your muscles. Consuming high GI carbohydrates after intense training quickly replenishes glycogen stores and repairs muscle tissue. The faster you can replenish glycogen, the more beneficial it is for your muscles and recovery. Vigorous exercise also increases systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Antioxidants should be consumed after training to neutralize cell-damaging free radicals and speed recovery.
6 WAYS TO IMPROVE RUNNING SPEED
Whether you’re a beginner runner or have been around the block for a few years, sooner or later, you’re going to want to improve your running speed. In fact, in the world of running, the fastest runners are often the most successful.
However, increasing running speed is easier said than done. It requires trying out different tactics and methods.
DAILY GINGER CONSUMPTION EASES MUSCLE PAIN 25%
While ginger had been shown to facilitate the post-exercise recovery by exerting anti-inflammatory effects in animal study, its effect on human muscle pain remained uncertain. A study from the University of Georgia has found that daily ginger consumption reduces muscle pain caused by exercise.
Why does running make us happy?
The joy of running. That sense of well-being, freedom and extra energy that runners often experience is not just a matter of endorphins. A study published in the journal Cell Metabolism shows that the “runner’s high” phenomenon is also caused by dopamine, an important neurotransmitter for motivation. The study discovered that the rewarding effects of endurance activity are
