PocketFuel Naturals Joins The Running Griffin

PocketFuelThe Running Griffin would like to welcome PocketFuel Naturals to our Running Related Businesses section of the site. I first tried PocketFuel Naturals at a local 5 miler and have been impressed with the product since.

The tremendous amount of nutrition found in each PocketFuel pouch supplies the body’s nutrition requirements with whole foods. All natural nut butters from almonds, hazelnuts and peanuts are our base ingredients and are blended with a wide variety of seeds and dried fruits.
As a runner I have tried the spectrum of different fuels on the market and PocketFuel truly provides me with the right amount of energy packed into one packet complete with a taste that is spot-on and quite enjoyable. With amazing flavors like my favorite Chocolate Haze and Vanilla Haze, PocketFuel Naturals contains the most important electrolytes needed for proper cellular function; sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca++), magnesium (Mg++) and chloride (Cl-). The electrolytes in PocketFuel are naturally occurring and derived from the nut butter and sea salt contained in each pouch.
If you are looking for an energy product that is both great tasting and effective, certainly give PocketFuel Naturals a try and I assure you that you won’t be disappointed.
