KK, this is the real deal. Too bad this wasn’t around when I was playing. All the drinks that we were forced to drink, because of big sponsorship deals, didn’t deliver like this FU does. Within 15 -20 minutes, I feel refreshed and ready to go. The alertness along with the energy is unlike anything that I have ever experienced from a drink. Thanks, great stuff!
What's inside?
A balanced ratio of nutrients to help maintain cellular health and hydration.
HOW IT WORKS
Our Advanced Aloe Hydration technology uses the hydration and immune-optimizing properties of Aloe vera to fast-track hydrating nutrients into your body for hydration you can FEEL!
AAH helps reduce the oxidative stress that causes cells to underperform and break down.
AAH hydrates your cells and boosts your immune system.
AAH has BiAloe with the highest Acemannan content available in any aloe product.
Two servings of FUEL UP give you the recommended amount of BiAloe for optimal cellular support.

Provided in a convenient powder pack to mix in a bottle of water, the fast-acting ingredients of FUEL UP will help your body maintain hydration and antioxidant & electrolyte balance for peak performance.
PROPRIETARY BLEND
Ginger aids in digestion and assists in the body's anti-inflammatory response. [21]
According to the Merck Index, glucuronolactone is an important structural component of nearly all connective tissues and is also a detoxicant. [22]
L-CYSTEINE
L-CARNITINE
BIALOE®
MELATONIN
Melatonin – is a hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock) and with sleep. (26)
ELECTROLYTES
POTASSIUM
Americans consume too much sodium and not enough potassium, and this is a public health concern. [5]
Potassium is essential for heart function and muscle contraction. Potassium, along with sodium, serves to maintain critical fluid balance within the body. It conserves calcium within the body and reduces urinary calcium loss. Potassium decreases bone breakdown and stimulates new bone formation. A decrease in blood pressure is associated with high dietary potassium. Additionally, potassium can positively influence vascular smooth muscle and sympathetic nervous system cell functions. [1]
This is why FUEL UP contains 6 times the amount of potassium as it does sodium.
SODIUM CHLORIDE
Sodium chloride is an essential compound our body uses to absorb and transport nutrients, maintain blood pressure, maintain the right balance of fluid, transmit nerve signals, and contract and relax muscles. [8]
MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation.
ANTIOXIDANTS
VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is needed by the body to form collagen and make skin, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. It also uses this vitamin to repair and maintain cartilage, bones and teeth, to heal wounds and to form scar tissue. Vitamin C is a vital antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals that we are exposed to in the environment such as air pollution, cigarette smoke and ultraviolet light from the sun. Vitamin C plays an important role in immune function. [11]
VITAMIN E
Vitamin E functions mainly as an antioxidant to help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin E also helps protect eyesight. Vitamin E supplementation significantly enhances both cell-mediated and humoral immune functions in humans. [12] Vitamin E is a fat soluble antioxidant that stops the production free radicals when fat undergoes oxidation. [13]
B VITAMINS
Vitamin B3 has an established role in the modulation of inflammatory cascades. [14]
OTHER NUTRIENTS
Vitamin A is a micronutrient involved in the development of the immune system and plays regulatory roles in cellular immune responses and humoral (bodily fluid) immune processes. [19]
