OUR TAKE
Fuel is SFH's anytime fuel. If you're looking for a drink that gives you energy without stimulants or a lot of carbs, then Fuel is for you. It uses a combination of protein, coconut fat (MCTs), and apple pectin (a mixture of medium glycemic carbohydrates in a matrix of natural fiber). You can use Fuel as a meal replacement, pre-workout, during workout, or as a snack to give you energy anytime of day. And, what we also truly appreciate is that the ingredient list is clean with no artificial flavors, colorings, or synthetic substances. Their whey comes from grass fed, free range cows without the use of antibiotics, and hormones. Just the way a whey supplement should be.

IN SFH'S OWN WORDS*
SFH FUEL is made for everyone. 

The ultimate anytime protein to fuel your daily needs.  SFH FUEL  combines non-denatured whey protein derived from A2 milk (from grass-fed, free range cows), coconut fat (MCTs) and apple pectin (a mixture of medium glycemic carbohydrates in a matrix of natural fiber).

Key Ingredients

• Apple Pectin:  is a complex carbohydrate rich in water soluble fibers. The fibers help to slow the absorption of high glycemic carbohydrates and sugars.
• MCTs (medium chain triglycerides):  are high energy fats. They are never stored and are burned as a fuel to produce 4-5x more energy than a sugar molecule and do not spike the release of insulin. These fats are broken down to ketone bodies which are the preferred fuel for our brains and hearts.
• Whey: All of our whey products are formulated with non-denatured whey protein derived from free-range, grass-fed cow herds. They are all-natural and contain no additives or preservatives - just wholesome goodness.

RECOMMENDED USE
As a dietary supplement, mix one scoop with 6 to 8oz of water or your favorite beverage.  To avoid clumps do not add ice.  Store in a cool, dry place.  Do not refrigerate.  Once opened use within 90 days.  30 servings.

SFH FUEL may be used anytime of the day - morning smoothie (or alone in water or coffee), pre-workout, in duration of an endurance event or snack before bed.  There is no substitute for real food. SFH Fuel is a great between meal supplement.

FAQ
What is apple pectin?
Apple Pectin is a combination of complex carbohydrates, water-soluble fibers, and sugars from the ripened skins of the fruit. SFH FUEL contains 1.5 grams of apple pectin powder per 30-gram scoop. 1 gram of the 1.5 grams is dietary fiber while 0.5 grams of the apple pectin is a mixture of complex carbohydrates and sugars. The fiber helps to slow the absorption of sugars and carbohydrates by binding to them, thus making them absorb more slowly.

Apple Pectin is good for General Health:
Apple Pectin improves gut flora, digestion and fights yeast over growth in the intestinal tract. The gel-like consistency helps bind fat molecules (from fatty foods not MCTs) and minimize the amount of fat, cholesterol and sugar absorbed from the digestive tract. Importantly apple pectin does not affect the absorption of micronutrients.  Apple pectin also has anti-oxidant properties and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.(1)

Apple Pectin helps sustain your energy:
Apple pectin, by slowing the absorption of sugars and carbohydrates, prolongs energy by normalizing sugar blood levels and minimizing insulin spiking that leads to periods of low sugar/low energy and hypoglycemia.

SFH FUEL combines apple pectin, coconut fat (another source of quick energy), with high quality whey protein. It is the ultimate anytime protein to fuel your daily activities.  SFH FUEL is for everyone.

What are MCTs?
MCTs are fats containing 8 to 12 carbons . This is in contrast to long chain fats that are generally 12-18 carbons long.  This difference is very important.  MCTs are rapidly absorbed into our bodies, are quickly transported to our livers as well as into our mitochondria and burned to energy. Unlike long chain fats, MCTs do not require the presence of carnitine to cross into the mitochondria. The result is more energy by making more acetyl CoA, which in turn makes more ketones and these make more energy.

MCTs = More Energy

MCTs increase energy, increase athletic performance and appear to counteract the decreased energy production that results from aging. MCTs decrease the fatigue factor sometimes associated with low carb, high protein diets.

MCTs via ketone body formation are an alternative source of energy for our brains and hearts. MCT fats do not spike insulin release. Thus you get the energy boost of sugar without the insulin effects.

Epidemiological studies suggest that Pacific Island cultures that eat a lot of coconut products have less heart disease, diabetes and age more slowly. Further some studies suggest that coconut fats and oils slow /reverse the symptoms of cognition deficits such as Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.

In addition, MCTs help control weight and appetite, possibly atherosclerosis, and have positive effects on immune function. Lastly one of the primary fats in MCTs is lauric acid. Lauric acid is converted to monolauren in our bodies. Monolaurin has anti-infective properties.

SFH Fuel contains 15% coconut fat. Coconut fat when combined with apple pectin containing fiber will slow the absorption of high glycemic sugars.  With a base of non-denatured whey protein the ultimate anytime product is created.  SFH FUEL is made for everyone and can be used anytime of the day:  morning, noon or night, pre-workout, in duration of a race or snack.
