The quick-and-easy gel format has been around for decades and is mostly seen in the performance and endurance world with carbohydrate-filled formulas to fuel you up and keep you going. Over the years, we’ve seen a few brands come at it from a different perspective, which is the precise approach the newcomer NEAP has taken. The new brand hit the market recently and quickly pulled in 1,000s of dollars in its first day with its unique protein solution.
NEAP has taken that classic squeeze gel format and brought on a more functional strategy. Protein Gel is the brand’s flagship product, made using hydrolyzed collagen to provide 20g of protein per pouch, and being that it’s collagen, it’s incredibly lean with only 80 calories. You get the benefit of a hefty hit of protein and the signature support of collagen, helping in the areas of hair, skin, nail, and joint health, and again, it’s respectably dosed with the protein at 20g.
NEAP has also gone the extra mile in making its Protein Gel a complete source of protein. Collagen itself has eight of the nine essential amino acids required to build muscle, and because of that, the brand has added extra tryptophan, the amino that’s missing. Collagen is still not as well-suited for muscle growth as the likes of whey or egg protein, but the trade-off is the supremely lean nutrition profile and the many health and wellness benefits.
When it comes to flavors, NEAP hasn’t left you hanging, with four fruit-themed tastes to choose from in Strawberry, Peach, Watermelon, and Mango. Reading feedback and knowing how good collagen-based products can taste, the gels come with a smooth flavor and texture that won’t leave you disappointed. You can grab boxes of 12 gels from neapfoods.com at $45.48, or if you just want to give it a try, there is a variety pack with one of each flavor at $18.
