What We're Doing:

We've created a healthy, tasty sports nutrition option in a market known for neither healthy ingredients nor great taste. What are energy gels? Read here or check the GALLERY tab for more info!

 

Creating our gels, we focused on:

All-Natural Ingredients: You can pronounce every. single. ingredient. Unbelievably, this is very rare. We also use a fine powder of Chia seeds, providing omega-3's, antioxidants, and a complete protein & amino acid chain. 

Great Taste: don't take our word for it; thousands of people have tried Huma. Here's what just a few have to say.

Performance Research: getting the calories you need without spiking blood sugar levels is the holy grail of sports nutrition. Our research-backed glucose/fructose ratio, combined with chia seeds, achieves that goal without any synthetic ingredients...OR stomach problems! Ultramarathoners and triathletes are loving this! See the GALLERY tab for more info on the science.

 

Why We Need You:

Every gel you hold is a piece of Ian's savings from Iraq; we invested it all into a test batch to show that people love Huma. Now we need your help to produce our first full production run of all four flavors. They will be:
 
Strawberries, Apples & Cinnamon, Blueberries, and Mangos (special thanks to everyone who voted in our Facebook Flavor Competition!)
Four Huma Energy Gel Flavors

Why It Matters:

Can a better energy gel really help make a better world? We think so:

  • Healthy people are happy people. It frustrates us to see athletes spending hours upon hours exercising to be healthy, only to be forced to compromise with nutrition. Huma gels give people that option to be healthier, which can only make them happier!
  • Huma isn't some massive, faceless corporation; it's an Army veteran and a former engineer who decided to quit their jobs and risk it all to bring people a product they believed in. Supporting Huma not only supports entrepreneurship, but jobs for Americans across the country!

 

Risks & Challenges:

Due to the unique machine requirements of producing a gel packet like ours, our test batch was moderately sized, so we've already worked out a lot of the kinks. That being said, some potential risks are:

  • New Manufacturer: due to the closure of our previous manufacturer, we were forced to find a new one. We put out bids, checked safety records, asked for references, and generally put each potential gel producer through the wringer. We are now confident our first full production batch will be at least as good (if not better!) than our current gels.
  • New Flavors: we methodically tested each of the new fruit purees to ensure we created the absolute best flavor.
