The supplement industry’s resident Santa Claus is back at it again! Fresh Supps founder Greg Helton clearly understands the assignment when it comes to both seasonal releases and retail partnerships. Hot off Fresh’s incredibly successful Black Friday campaign – where the team put their retail partners first by completely foregoing direct-to-consumer sales – the brand is spreading more holiday cheer with their latest limited-edition launch: Kringle Kandy.
Kringle Kandy Comes to Close Out 2024 in Festive Style
This festive new flavor is available in both Fresh Pre-Workout and Fresh Amino supplements, featuring some of the most cheerful artwork we’ve seen all year. The supplements maintain their clinical dosing and intelligent formulations that helped earn Fresh Supps our coveted 2023 Rookie of the Year award, but now come dressed in holiday attire complete with a smiling Santa Claus on the label.

What is Kringle Kandy?
Kringle Kandy is Fresh Supps’ take on a colorful rainbow candy flavor that’s been highly requested by customers since the brand’s launch. It delivers a sweet, fruit-flavored burst that spans the entire rainbow spectrum – think of those colorful candies you loved as a kid, now engineered into a properly-dosed supplement that performs as good as it tastes.
A Bit About Fresh Pre
Every delicious 2-scoop serving of Fresh Pre gets you the following:
-
L-Citrulline – 6,000mg
L-citrulline is a potent nitric oxide booster that enhances blood flow, leading to better muscle pumps and improved nutrient delivery. This amino acid gets converted to arginine in the body, and at 6 grams per serving, it’s dosed above clinically-studied amounts for performance benefits. It also helps reduce post-workout muscle soreness and fatigue.
-
Beta-Alanine – 3,200mg
Beta-alanine combines with histidine in your body to form carnosine, which helps buffer lactic acid in your muscles during intense exercise. At the clinical dose of 3.2 grams, it’s particularly effective for improving performance in activities lasting 1-4 minutes. You might experience a harmless tingling sensation (paresthesia) from this ingredient – that’s completely normal and tells you it’s working and time to get moving.
-
Betaine Anhydrous – 2,000mg
Betaine (trimethylglycine) is a powerful osmolyte that helps maintain cellular hydration and supports protein synthesis. At 2 grams per serving, it may enhance power output and support lean mass gains. It also serves as a methyl donor, supporting various metabolic processes in the body.
-
Pink Himalayan Salt – 500mg
This premium form of salt provides crucial electrolytes to support hydration and muscle function during intense training. Beyond just sodium, pink Himalayan salt contains trace minerals that some like to get.
-
S7 – 50mg
S7 is a blend of seven plant-based ingredients including green coffee bean, green tea extract, turmeric, tart cherry, blueberry, broccoli, and kale. This blend has been shown to boost nitric oxide bioavailability naturally, complementing the L-citrulline for enhanced pumps and performance.
-
Taurine – 1,000mg
Taurine is an amino acid that supports mental focus, muscle contractions, and hydration. The 1-gram dose has been shown to improve endurance and exercise performance from the very first use, making it a valuable addition to any pre-workout formula.
-
L-Tyrosine – 500mg
L-tyrosine supports the production of important neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, helping maintain focus and motivation during intense workouts. It’s especially beneficial when training under stress or while dieting.
-
Caffeine Complex (360mg total)
Fresh Pre combines traditional caffeine anhydrous (300mg) with Vitashure sustained-release caffeine (60mg) for an intelligent energy blend. This dual-release system provides both immediate energy and sustained focus throughout your workout, without the harsh crash often associated with high-caffeine pre-workouts.
-
CognatiQ Coffee Fruit Extract – 100mg
This specialized coffee fruit extract has been shown to increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), supporting cognitive function and mental clarity during your training sessions. It adds a unique mental edge to complement the physical performance benefits of the formula.
-
AstraGin – 50mg
AstraGin is a patented ingredient added in an attempt to enhance the absorption of other nutrients, especially L-citrulline. It’s particularly beneficial for improving the uptake of amino acids and other key ingredients in the formula.

A Bit About Fresh Amino
Every scoop of Fresh Amino brings you the following:
-
Fresh BCAAs
Fresh Amino features a science-backed 2:1:1 ratio of branched-chain amino acids:
-
L-Leucine – 2,500mg
Leucine is the star player in muscle protein synthesis, primarily through activating the mTOR pathway. At 2.5 grams, it’s dosed higher than the other BCAAs because it’s the main trigger for muscle growth and recovery.
-
L-Isoleucine – 1,250mg
Isoleucine plays a unique role in post-workout recovery by helping your muscles better utilize glucose. This enhanced glucose uptake helps replenish energy stores and supports the recovery process.
-
L-Valine – 1,250mg
Valine helps synthesize glycogen and produces L-BAIBA when metabolized, an exercise-signaling molecule with numerous benefits. It works synergistically with the other BCAAs to support muscle preservation and recovery.
-
-
Fresh EAAs
To complement the BCAAs, Fresh includes the remaining essential amino acids for complete protein synthesis support:
-
L-Lysine – 300mg
Lysine supports muscle growth and recovery while boosting immune system function. Unlike most amino acids, it’s uniquely ketogenic, making it valuable for ketone production.
-
L-Threonine – 300mg
Threonine is crucial for maintaining healthy gut function and supporting collagen synthesis. It also helps produce glycine and serine, two important amino acids for overall health.
-
L-Phenylalanine – 250mg
This amino acid supports the production of key neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. Phenylalanine helps maintain motivation and positive mood during training sessions.
-
L-Tryptophan – 100mg
As a precursor to serotonin, tryptophan helps regulate mood and cognitive function. It’s included at a precise dose to support mental well-being without causing drowsiness.
-
L-Histidine – 25mg
Histidine is vital for producing carnosine, a powerful antioxidant that supports brain health. It also helps maintain healthy hemoglobin levels for optimal oxygen transport.
-
L-Methionine – 25mg
Methionine supports digestive health and converts to cysteine, helping produce glutathione – your body’s master antioxidant.
-
-
Fresh & Hydrated
Stay fresh, stay hydrated:
-
Taurine – 1,000mg
This performance powerhouse acts as an osmolyte to support cellular hydration. Research shows this 1-gram dose of taurine can boost endurance from the very first use.
-
Organic Coconut Water Powder – 500mg
A natural source of electrolytes, particularly potassium, coconut water has been shown to perform as well as traditional sports drinks. It adds a pleasant taste while supporting optimal hydration.
-
ConcenTrace AC – 500mg
This unique complex provides 72 trace minerals harvested from an inland sea in Utah, including rare minerals like sulfate, lithium, and boron for comprehensive mineral support.
-
AstraGin – 50mg
Same as with Fresh Pre – this patented ingredient is added to try to boost the absorption of amino acids, which makes extra sense here.
