The Story Behind Ethereal Pre-Workout Gummies: Science, Innovation, and the Journey

Introduction: The Birth of a New Era in Pre-Workout Supplements

Ethereal Pre-Workout Gummies are not just another pre-workout — they are the result of over a year of meticulous research, innovation, and testing. The vision began with Kyce Jaradat, driven to create a clean, convenient, and effective alternative to traditional pre-workout powders.

Most pre-workouts are messy powders, filled with artificial ingredients, hard-to-digest caffeine sources, and harsh flavors. The goal for Ethereal was simple: deliver explosive energy, laser focus, and endurance in a tasty, convenient gummy form — without sacrificing purity, potency, or flavor.

This journey would take over 100 R&D samples, five different package redesigns, and a patented flavor-masking technology to achieve the perfect balance of taste and performance.

The Vision: Convenience Meets Science

Kyce Jaradat, alongside Dr. Mark, a nutrition scientist and supplement innovator at Starnutra, envisioned a product that would bridge the gap between scientific efficacy and everyday usability. The primary challenges were clear:

• Caffeine Taste Masking: Natural caffeine is extremely bitter. Most gummy products compromise flavor to include high doses of caffeine.

• Ingredient Synergy: Ensuring that amino acids, BCAAs, taurine, L-Citrulline, and vitamins maintained their potency without altering taste or stability.

• Digestive Comfort: Gummies needed to be easy on the stomach while delivering rapid absorption and bioavailability.

• Consistency Across Batches: Every gummy must deliver the exact same dose — vital for trust and performance.

This vision set the stage for what would become Ethereal Pre-Workout Gummies.

The R&D Journey: 100 Samples, 5 Packages, 1 Perfect Formula

From day one, Kyce and Dr. Mark approached this as a full scientific endeavor. Over the past year, the team produced more than 100 R&D samples, iterating on:

• Ingredient ratios for energy, pumps, and recovery

• Sweeteners that mask bitterness without artificial aftertaste

• Textures that are chewable but shelf-stable

• Stability of vitamins and amino acids under heat, humidity, and storage conditions

In parallel, five separate packaging designs were tested, focusing on preserving freshness, preventing gummy clumping, and maximizing shelf life while maintaining aesthetic appeal for the modern athlete.

Each iteration taught something new:

• Sample #17 revealed that high taurine levels improved endurance but caused gummy stickiness.

• Sample #42 showed that a specific blend of natural strawberry flavors could mask caffeine without artificial sweeteners.

• Sample #78 led to the discovery of the patentable flavor-masking method, which would become a cornerstone of the product’s unique advantage.

The Patented Flavor-Masking Innovation

One of the most groundbreaking achievements in the creation of Ethereal Gummies is the patented technology to suppress the bitterness of caffeine and other key ingredients while retaining natural flavor.

Here’s how it works in layman’s terms:

• Caffeine and BCAAs naturally taste bitter and metallic. Traditional methods rely on artificial sweeteners or flavor masking agents, which often compromise the product’s “clean” positioning.

• Using a proprietary combination of microencapsulation and natural flavor layering, Ethereal Gummies deliver full potency while preserving a pure, natural strawberry flavor.

• This method ensures rapid dissolution, consistent absorption, and pleasant taste, which is essential for adherence and consumer satisfaction.

The patent not only protects the formula but also ensures Ethereal is distinct from every gummy supplement on the market, making it scientifically and legally unique.

Ingredient Science: Why Ethereal Works

Ethereal’s formula was carefully designed for athletes, students, and anyone seeking peak performance:

Why Gummies Are Superior

• Precision Dosing: Each gummy contains a verified dose, tested for potency and purity.

• Rapid Absorption: Begins metabolizing in the mouth for faster energy onset.

• Digestive Comfort: Easier on the stomach than powders or capsules.

• Convenient and Portable: Ideal for workouts, travel, or busy lifestyles.

Third-Party Tested for Purity & Consistency

Ethereal Gummies are third-party tested by ETHOS Analytics to confirm:

• Ingredient identity and exact dosage

• Purity (free from heavy metals, contaminants, and banned substances)

• Stability across batches

Made in an FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility, every gummy delivers consistent performance and complete transparency.

Kyce Jaradat’s Background & Why This Product Exists

Kyce Jaradat comes from a deep family background in business, scaling, and entrepreneurship, with hands-on experience in both e-commerce and product development. Inspired by real-world athletic and cognitive performance needs, he realized that the supplement industry was failing consumers:

• Traditional pre-workouts are inconvenient, bitter, and often untested.

• There is a lack of transparency and scientific backing in gummy-based supplements.

Partnering with Dr. Mark at Starnutra, Kyce channeled his business acumen, persistence, and scientific curiosity to create Ethereal. His mission: deliver a high-performance, scientifically-backed pre-workout that tastes great and works reliably.

The Future of Pre-Workout Gummies

The development of Ethereal Pre-Workout Gummies represents a paradigm shift in supplement design. With the patented flavor-masking technology, clean, tested ingredients, and a focus on both performance and experience, Ethereal is not just a product — it’s a new standard in the pre-workout industry.
