What's inside.
Nothing else.
Every number on the pack, explained.
150MG
Pomanox® per gel
More than flavor
Real pomegranate.
Real research.
Every gel contains 150mg of Pomanox®, a water-extracted pomegranate fruit extract standardized to 30% punicalagins. Below is what published research says. Studies used daily intake over days or weeks, so we share them for context, not as a promise.
Standardized extract
Pomanox® is extracted with water only, no chemical solvents, and standardized to 30% punicalagins, so every gel delivers about 45mg.
Antioxidants 101
Hard training produces free radicals, unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress in working muscle. [1] Antioxidants are compounds that help neutralize them. Pomegranate's antioxidant activity comes mainly from punicalagins, [2] the compound Pomanox® is standardized to.
Studied for recovery
In a placebo-controlled study of resistance-trained men, a concentrated pomegranate extract improved strength recovery 2–3 days after hard exercise. [3]
Studied in cyclists
In a 2019 randomized trial, amateur cyclists taking 750mg/day of Pomanox® for 15 days rode longer before exhaustion than with placebo. Five RANN gels provide 750mg. [4]

Take 1 gel 15 minutes before the start, then 1 gel every 35 minutes, starting about 35 minutes in. Always take gels with water.
A starting point based on ACSM sports nutrition guidelines (30–60g carbs/hour for 1–2.5 hours, up to 90g/hour beyond that). Needs vary with intensity, heat and your gut. Practice your plan in training. Not medical advice.

Each gel has 30g of carbs. Many endurance athletes aim for 60 to 90g of carbs per hour on long efforts, which is about 2 to 3 gels an hour. Start lower in training and build up.
