About Apollo:
Apollo Brands® LLC was born out of Founder Troy Widgery’s prior success with GO FAST! Energy Drink™. Troy’s background in extreme sports guided the passion to build GO FAST!™ into a global brand, but he wanted to build a healthier and more efficient energy product. Apollo and its specialty brands are manufactured in Colorado and represent the culmination of nearly 700 formulations over more than 10 years. According to Apollo®, a Liquid Core™ of functional ingredients surrounded by a xylitol gum shell is the best way to provide a clean and portable energy supplement for those in the pursuit of a healthy and productive lifestyle. Studies show that chewing gum provides cognitive benefits including reduced stress and enhanced memory function, which complement the natural caffeine and B-vitamins in the Liquid Core™.
