There’s nothing like getting out in nature and covering miles the way people intended: by human power. It’s the best way to see nature up close and personal. Hiking, biking, and running up mountains and across the great outdoors place intense demands on your body. You need to provide your body with high-quality fuel to go the distance. Since you can’t order take-out or hit the vending machine, you must carry your outdoor adventure fuel.
Trail Chews are the ideal snack to carry on your next outdoor adventure. These delicious Action Gummies are lightweight and compact, occupying very little space in your pack. They are made of natural ingredients, come in four delicious flavors, and give your body what it needs to keep you going on outdoor adventures:
- Hydration support
- Energy boost
- Recovery aid
- Immunity boost
An Outdoor Adventure Gummy is the ideal backpacking snack, hiking fuel, biking nutrition boost, and trail running energy bite. Each all-natural morsel is precisely designed to enhance sports performance.
Hydration Support
A sedentary person in a temperature-controlled environment needs around 64 ounces of water daily to function. As soon as you enter the real world and start moving, odds are you will begin to sweat, and you will need significantly more water. However, when you sweat, you don’t just lose water. Sweat is loaded with sodium and potassium. If you don’t replace these essential electrolytes, even if you consume plenty of water, you will suffer from muscle cramps and fatigue.
One way to replenish both fluids and electrolytes is to drink sports drinks. However, sports drinks are usually loaded with things that are bad for you, like artificial sweeteners, flavors, and colors. They also tend to be sold in single-use plastic bottles, which are bad for the environment. An alternative approach is to drink pure, refreshing water from a reusable container and supplement your electrolytes with an all-natural Trail Chew. Each Outdoor Adventure Gummy contains 75 mg of sodium and 10 mg of potassium as hydration support.
Energy Boost
Your body stores energy in your liver and muscles in the form of glycogen, a type of carbohydrate. During any kind of activity, your body will first use the stored carbohydrates for energy. As your glycogen stores decline, if you keep moving, your muscles switch from burning carbohydrates to burning the fat stored in your muscles, and your body mobilizes fat from other parts of your body, sending it to your muscles as an energy source.
On a long hike, run, or bike ride, you will completely run out of stored carbohydrates after four to five hours, sooner if the adventure is more vigorous (a fast pace or steep uphill climb). At this point, you will “hit the wall” and feel a wave of suffocating fatigue. If you keep pushing on, your body will switch to burning body fat, and you will be able to keep going, but your ability to perform short bursts of intense effort will decline to practically nothing.
An excellent way to keep your energy up on a long hike, bike ride, or run is to consume a Trail Chew whenever you feel a bit fatigued. Outdoor Adventure Gummies contain cane sugar, rapidly absorbed and burned to help you push through “the wall.” They also contain tapioca syrup, a lower glycemic carbohydrate source to fuel your muscles. Unlike pure sugar, tapioca syrup releases carbohydrates to your muscles in a slower, more sustained fashion so you can keep going.
Trail Chews also contain yerba mate. Yerba mate is derived from the leaves of a shrub that grows in South America. It is well-known for providing a powerful energy boost that does not cause a crash or the jitters. The plant contains several active compounds, including theobromine, caffeine, theophylline, flavonoids, quercetin, and rutin. In addition to providing energy, these compounds have anti-inflammatory effects.
Recovery Aid
The hard work of hiking, biking, and running can make you feel sore and achy in the evenings when you want to relax and enjoy the campfire with your fellow adventurers. Trail Chews contain three grams of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) per delicious Action Gummy to help prevent that sore, achy feeling. BCAAs promote muscle protein synthesis and assist hard-working muscles in recovering from exercise.
Immunity Boost
The changes in your environment while trekking through the great outdoors can over-tax your immune system. Trail Chews are loaded with essential B vitamins and vitamin C to help keep you in tip-top shape throughout your adventure. In addition, the BCAAs discussed above encourage your body to produce immune cells and push your immune system toward an anti-inflammatory state by promoting a Th1 lymphocyte immune response.
All Natural
Our Outdoor Adventure Gummies are gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, GMO-free, plant-based, and made in the USA. All-natural fruit and vegetable extracts provide their colors, and so are their delicious fruity flavors. Pectin, derived from apples, gives Trails Chews their wonderful chewiness. Anyone following any kind of diet can use Trail Chews.
Eco-Friendly
A portion of every Trail Chew purchase is donated to a program to plant trees in Kenya. Over 90% of Kenya has been deforested in recent years. To restore their environment and help halt global climate change, Kenya is planting 20 million trees. The goal is to restore the region’s highland forests, purifying water and the air. Each tree will pull 630 pounds of carbon from the atmosphere.
Certified
You don’t have to take our word for it: Trail Chews have been certified by an independent, US-based laboratory. Everything we claim on the ingredient label is 100% true. There are no hidden or banned substances. Athletes competing in sanctioned events can proudly use Trail Chews.
