As someone who’s not the world’s biggest supplement enthusiast, I approach new products in this space with caution. Sure, I take my vitamins and stay as healthy as I can with things like protein powders, but I’m just dipping my toes into the supplement world as I get older and things don’t always run at optimal capacity anymore.
Recently, I tried the Recovery Gummies from For Wellness – specifically their Restore and Hydration options – and I have to say, they’re pretty solid.
Taste: The Key Selling Point
When it comes to supplements, taste is huge for me. If I can’t stomach something, it’s going straight into the trash – no questions asked. Some people believe that something healthy has to taste mediocre at best, but that’s not my mindset. I’m much more likely to stick with a product if it actually tastes good, and this is where these gummies truly shine.
There are a handful of flavor options, but I can definitely vouch for the Recovery Hibiscus Cherry and Hydration Blueberry. Both are top-notch, and I honestly enjoy taking them, which makes it that much easier to stick with the habit.
Simplicity & Convenience
These gummies are straightforward to use. Just take two or three after or during a workout to help with hydration and recovery. One thing I appreciate is that they come in a larger bag, which helps keep the cost down. However, the bag itself (which comes with about 90 gummies) isn’t the easiest to pack for on-the-run use, so I suggest transferring a handful into a Ziploc bag before you head out for your run.
Other than that, it’s a simple process. It sort of reminds me of individual packs from other brands you can get, but at a reduced cost for purchasing in bulk instead of individual small packs.
Effectiveness & Overall Feel
I have a bit of a tough time measuring the effects of supplements, and that’s probably why I don’t review many of them. The body is so subjective, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution that works universally for everyone. So, it’s hard to draw conclusions even after consistent use.
That being said, after about three weeks of using these gummies, I haven’t noticed any adverse effects, and I generally feel healthy and well. I don’t think there’s a major downside to trying them out for yourself.
Final Thoughts
Overall, if you’re on the hunt for something tasty that helps with hydration and recovery, For Wellness Recovery Gummies are a solid option. Personally, I like them as an alternative to running gels, and I’d say they’re definitely worth giving a shot.
