Gummy candy has become a popular format for sports nutrition companies, where they’ve put in various types of active ingredients, including beauty-supporting collagen, adaptogens like ashwagandha, muscle-building creatine, caffeine for energy, and even protein. Gummies that pack a good amount of protein are or were a little rarer than the others, but they’ve become a bit more common lately, and here today, we’ve got another one of those to introduce to the young and growing Gainsom.
Gaisom exclusively makes Protein Gummy Bears, providing 10g of protein in a serving of 18 gummies, and it is worth noting that protein doesn’t come from the usual whey, milk, or casein sources but from bovine collagen. The fat falls at zero while the carbohydrates are 74g a serving, although thanks to the product being made with the sugar alternative allulose and soluble corn fiber, the net carb count is much lower, leading to a calorie count of 90 in that 18 piece serving and 10g of protein.
The nutrition balance of Gainsom’s Protein Gummy Bears is pretty damn impressive, as most protein bars sit around 200 to 220 calories when they have that traditional 20g of protein a piece. The brand has also actually taken the time to create three sizes depending on your appetite or use for the high-protein gummies in their lone Fruit Punch flavor. At gainsom.com, there is the Mini Bag with a single serving at $29.95 for six, the larger Snack Bag with two servings at $45 for six, or go the whole nine years with six of the two-and-a-half serving Meal Bags packing 25g of protein in each.
