In 2019, we set out on a mission to put Kendal Mint Cake, the world's oldest energy bar, back on the map.
It once conquered Everest, and it even kept the British Army on the move, but had sadly since been lost as a tourist sweet treat.
Thus, the idea of KMC NRG GEL was conceptualised, the natural evolution of this age-old energy bar.
It couldn't just be like every other boring energy gel on the market

One of the oldest known herbal remedies for indigestion and related digestion-related issues.
What's so magic about Mint?

It’s nature’s way of saying, “I got you.”
How?
It acts as an Anti-inflammatory and encourages bile flow, it helps calm and relax the lower intestine (where all the bloat and digestion issues caused by typical energy gels occur).
It's proven to work as an anti-inflammatory for IBS and is even recommended by the NHS!
Combine this with our family's extensive experience in creating great tasting, and great feeling, fresh food; plus, years of development and testing.
We cooked up a winning formula
by taking everything we knew about the texture and taste of food, combined with state-of-the-art research and manufacturing and...
