PODIUM FINISH LOZENGE REVIEWS

Minty Fresh! Often with mint products, the strength of the mint flavouring is weak or at least, short-lasting. The flavour of the lozenge here didn’t dissipate at all through consumption and stayed for a good while after providing a sense of freshness

Podium Finish prides itself on its slow-release formula providing a solid boost to your entire run or workout. I found this to be the case during my trial run of 8km, illustrated by it being my best run since my return from injury! Throughout the run, I felt full of energy despite only consuming two of the lozenges with nothing else before it. A big thumbs up in this area!

Often known as winter cherry or Indian ginseng, Ashwagandha is an ingredient which feels almost new and fresh to the energy product market. I certainly hadn’t experienced or heard of it before to my knowledge. I was surprised to see after some quick research, that the herb provides a vast array of health benefits. These include potentially decreasing stress/anxiety, potentially reducing depression like symptoms & reducing inflammation amongst many others. It seems Podium Finish are onto something here with this impressive plant and I’m glad to discover it!

The packaging looks very smart, I’m a fan of the color scheme and the clear-cellophane wrapping for each individual lozenge. Sometimes with hard, potentially sticky like products, they can stick to the packaging, but these were absolutely fine and came out easily.

Personally, I love the fact this product isn’t a “shove and go” like so many. As the lozenge is a hard brittle like structure, it takes a few minutes to get through it, which is more enjoyable. Of course, there is an argument some may want the quicker approach found with a gel for example, but for those wanting a more pleasurable experience when it comes to pre-run nutrition/energy and something more longer-lasting, look no further. 

A pack of twelve lozenges retails for £8.99 which is in line with the market for an energy-type product aimed at athletes.
