Pungao: Vital Nectar - Raw Honey Pre Workout

Honey for Physical Exertion

Raw honey is the cleanest form of carbohydrates and sugars in the world. Despite what they say, sugars and carbs are vital for optimal performance and energy when exercising. This is why we chose raw honey to be the base of our Vital Nectar.

Why Our Honey?

Our honey is raw and never heated, from farms all up and down New England. This lighter honey is perfect to be easily converted to energy that can power your body throughout whatever you are doing where you want to be performing at your peak.

Salt For Physical Exertion

Salt is completely essential to both physical and mental performance. While doctors tell you to avoid salt, this age old recommendation is wrong. Glucose is what powers your muscles, but sodium is actually what shuttles that glucose to your muscles. Without salt, the glucose can't do its job effectively.

On top of that, of course, is hydration. Salt and water work together to hydrate the body, making sure that all of the muscles and vital organs are able to function properly.

Without salt, physical exertion would be almost impossible.

Why Ancient Buried Sea Salt?

Rock salts, like Himalayan pink salt, need to be mined. While these salts are often pure, they are quite dense from being covered and compressed by the weight of the world. For this reason, they are less soluble in water and, similarly, in us. For this reason, we don't digest rock salts as quickly and they are not as good at priming us for physical output.

On the other hand, sea salts are a lot easier for us to digest. The problem is that most sea salts have been floating around in our polluted oceans for years, and have microplastics and other pollutants present.

For these two reasons, we found the best salt in the world... a mineral dense ancient sea salt that has been protected from the modern pollutants of the ocean. This is possible because the bed of the sea where the salt used to reside was covered in volcanic eruptions, creating a protective layer from the pollutants of the modern day.

We believe we sourced the best salt on earth.

The Cinnamon Lies

Many are not aware of this, but 90%+ of the cinnamon sold in the United States is actually not cinnamon. It is something called Cassia. Cassia is a cheap Chinese knock off of cinnamon, without many of the benefits of the real thing. Cassia is high in coumarin, a dangerous compound to consume too much of.

Ceylon, "true" cinnamon, on the other hand, is a magical spice.

Benefits of Cinnamon for Exercise

Ceylon Cinnamon has two major benefits when it comes to physical exertion, and many more for health in general.

First off, Ceylon Cinnamon dilates the blood vessels. This means that it increases the size of each vessel so that more blood (and oxygen) can get to the muscles, making it easier for them to fire and perform at a high level.

The other magical benefit of Ceylon Cinnamon is that it increases the bioavailability of whatever it is consumed with. This means that consuming our other ingredients with the Ceylon Cinnamon will allow us to get more out of the Honey, Salt, and Guarana.

Our Cinnamon

We promise, for the many reasons above, to always source true Ceylon cinnamon, although the price is far higher than that of the knock-off, Cassia. Our Ceylon is from either Madagascar or Sri Lanka, the two best sources of Ceylon in the entire world. Cassia can't even compete.

What is Guarana?

Very similar to a coffee bean, Guarana is a seed from a native Amazonian basin plant. Like coffee, it offers a natural caffeine boost.

On top of that, it is made up of many compounds that are loaded with antioxidants.

Compared to the many synthetic compounds that are often in energy drinks, we know Guarana offers better performance and better long-term health benefits. The choice was simple.
