Our Energy Gel Electrolyte Base

Raw Palm Nectar is low glycemic (GI = 35); its sugar content releases slowly into the bloodstream, providing a steady stream of energy without energy spikes or crashes. There are a total of 11 amino acids found in raw palm nectar. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, which build our entire body. Our cells, tissues and muscles are made with amino acids; they are thus essential for muscle growth and tissue repair. Palm nectar is a beneficial source of electrolytes, such as potassium and magnesium. It also contains vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc and iron. The prebiotics fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin found in palm nectar help to feed and increase the healthy flora in our intestines.

Blackstrap molasses is an excellent source of:

Electrolytes
Calcium - Maintains bone health, nervous system function, muscle contraction, metabolism, blood clotting
Magnesium - Muscle health
Potassium - Nervous system function, heart health
Sodium - Nervous system function, fluid retention

Other Minerals
Iron - An excellent plant-based source. Lung health, blood production, metabolism, immunity
Phosphorus - Bone health
Chromium - Helps balance blood sugar

The B Vitamins
- Essential for metabolism

Polyphenols contain antioxidants that can help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. Exercise can produce oxidative stress and increase the amount of free radicals in the body. It is crucial that all athletes counteract oxidative stress with adequate antioxidants. 

Pink Himalayan Salt is more than your everyday table salt: Each salt crystal contains over 80 minerals. Sodium (the primary mineral of Pink Himalayan salt) is a critical electrolyte.

Raw Almond Butter. Almonds contain vitamin E, magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids and iron.

Vitamin E is the most powerful antioxidant, meaning it protects cells from damaging free radicals, preventing these harmful chemicals from damaging DNA and cell membranes.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining metabolic, heart, and neural health.

Iron promotes healthy oxygen transport. It helps you make hemoglobin and myoglobin, two proteins that oxygenate your tissues. Like vitamin E, iron protects your cells from oxidative damage.

Raw Cacao Powder. Cacao is the highest whole food source of magnesium, which also happens to be the most deficient mineral in the American diet. Magnesium relaxes muscles, improves bowel function and relaxes the heart and cardiovascular system. It also helps promote quality sleep.

Dark chocolate also contains numerous vitamins and minerals, including calcium, sulfur, zinc, iron, copper, potassium, and manganese. Other properties include polyphenols called flavonoids, with antioxidant properties. Beyond all these benefits, it’s just tasty.

Cashew Butter. Cashews are a good source of protein and are composed of primarily unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats help lower cholesterol and improves heart health. Unsaturated fats are essential nutrients that provide the energy and energy storage perfect for long workouts.

Cashews are brimming with proanthocyanidins, a type of flavanol that starves tumors and prevents cancer cells from dividing.

The oleic acid found in cashews promotes sound cardiovascular health by reducing triglyceride levels, which is associated with heart disease risk.

Cashews are another excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including magnesium and copper. 

Sunflower Butter.
 Sunflower seeds are rich in balanced fats and several vitamins and minerals. Sunflower seeds are especially high in vitamin E and selenium. These function as antioxidants to protect your body’s cells against DNA and membrane damage.

Additionally, sunflower seeds are a good source of phenolic acids and flavonoids, which also function as antioxidants and help reduce inflammation.

Bergamot is one of the most unique and delicate citrus oils. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, bergamot oil is used to help with the flow of vital energy so the digestive system can work properly, and it’s also used to prevent the growth of bacteria, relieve muscle pain, and rejuvenate skin.
