Frequently asked questions

You’ve Got Questions. We’ve Got Gummies...and Answers.

What are Punchies Protein Gummies?

Punchies are clean-label protein gummies made for kids, packed with 5 g of complete protein (grass-fed whey isolate + grass-fed collagen peptides), Vitamin C, and a dash of organic, raw unprocessed cane sugar per serving. No Seed Oils. No Dyes. No Sugar alcohols. No Corn fiber. No Fillers. No Alternative sweeteners. No Artificial flavors. No High-fructose corn syrup. Lunchbox-ready nutrition with real protein, real ingredients, and zero junk.

Why Do You Use Grass-Fed Whey Isolate and Collagen Instead of Plant Proteins?

  • Complete Amino Acid Profile: Whey isolate scores Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score = 1.0 and DIAAS ≈ 1.09, delivering all 9 essential amino acids in the right ratios for growth and muscle building. Plant proteins like pea (PDCAAS ≈ 0.83) or rice (PDCAAS ≈ 0.42) are incomplete proteins and lack key EAAs such as methionine or lysine and must be blended to achieve completeness.

  • Superior Leucine Content: Whey provides ~35 % more leucine than pea or rice per gram, which is the trigger for muscle protein synthesis—critical for growing kids.

  • High Bioavailability: Dairy proteins are absorbed ~90–100 %; plant proteins can be hindered by phytates or lectins (anti-nutrients) that reduce mineral and protein uptake.

  • No Anti-Nutrients or Fillers: Unlike soy (contains phytates, trypsin inhibitors, phytoestrogens) and other legumes, Punchies’ proteins are free of compounds that might impair digestion or nutrient absorption.

Why do Punchies Protein Gummies not use seed oils?

Seed oils such as soybean or sunflower oil are commonly used in processed snacks, but they are not part of our formula. Punchies protein gummies are made without seed oils because we want to give kids a snack that avoids unnecessary fillers and ultra-processed ingredients. By skipping seed oils, Punchies keeps the focus on complete protein from collagen and whey. Parents who are interested in how we build clean-label snacks can learn more on our Clean-Label Nutrition

Why do Punchies Protein Gummies not use dyes?

Many kids snacks rely on artificial dyes to create bright colors. Punchies Protein gummies never use any synthetic or petroleum-based dyes because they do not belong in a child’s daily snack. Instead, we use natural colors from fruit and vegetable sources. This keeps our protein gummies safe, parent-approved, and lunchbox-ready.

Are Punchies Protein Gummies Healthy For Kids?

Absolutely. Punchies Protein Gummies are formulated to:

  • Support muscle & bone growth with 5 g of premium complete protein per serving
  • Bolster immunity and protein synthesis with Vitamin C
  • Provide gentle energy and recovery via a dash of organic, raw unprocessed sugar cane (well under school snack limits)
  • Avoid GI upset—no sugar alcohols (erythritol, sorbitol, malitol), no corn fiber, no allulose, no monk fruit, no chicory root, or fiber syrups that can cause gas or diarrhea.

How Much Sugar Is In Punchies Protein Gummies?

A sprinkle of organic, raw unprocessed cane sugar provides clean energy for kids’ muscles to help them recover and naturally replenish glycogen after play or sports. Less than half the sugar of typical fruit snacks. We avoid monk fruit, corn fiber, stevia, agave, and all sugar alcohols—so there’s no labeling confusion or digestive risk. Parents and moms trust real organic cane sugar in small amounts over untested artificial sweeteners.

Why does Punchies use only natural and organic ingredients?

Punchies is made with simple, recognizable ingredients that parents can trust. We use natural and organic sources like raw cane sugar, fruit concentrates, and high-quality protein from collagen and whey. Choosing organic ingredients where possible helps us avoid unwanted additives and align with the clean-label promise we make to families. If you want to understand why complete protein matters for kids, check out our guide on why whey and collagen are better than plant-based sources.

Why Don’t You Use Alternative Sweeteners Like Erythritol, Corn Fiber, Allulose, or Monk Fruit?

Punchies Protein Gummies do not use these ultra-processed fillers in our products because:

  • Digestive Tolerance: Sugar alcohols and fiber syrups (e.g., erythritol, chicory root inulin, oligofructose) can trigger gas, bloating, or laxative effects in kids.

  • Label Transparency: Novel ingredients like Allulose, Isomalto-oligosaccharides (aka Corn Fiber), monk fruit, Erythritol, soluble corn fiber are ultra-processed sweeteners and fillers that  raise “mystery ingredient” concerns. We stick to good old fashioned ingredients that you can read.

  • School Compliance: While some aren’t counted as “added sugar,” they still count as carbs and can complicate school snack guidelines. We keep it simple with trace organic, raw unprocessed organic sugar.

Are Punchies Protein Gummies Made in the USA?

Absolutely. Punchies Protein Gummies are made in the USA in a certified facility, using non-GMO, grass-fed dairy proteins and US-sourced organic sugar and real fruit flavors and colorings.

Are Punchies Protein Gummies Organic?
