The Jelly Stick by Ponlu is a convenient, refreshing blend of prebiotic fibers and plant-based botanicals that makes it easy to support gut health and satiety between meals. Formulated to support balanced metabolism, digestive health and more in a mess-free, grab-and-go format, The Jelly Stick features a multi-fiber matrix that includes ingredients like konjac, resistant maltodextrin, and chia seeds. Unlike tough-to-swallow capsules or powders that need mixing, this convenient, ready-to-eat stick is made for life on the move, and satisfies with a fruity pomegranate flavor.
"Ponlu is named for the Khmer word for ‘light,’ and that word carries everything I wanted the brand to hold—the lightness of a product that satisfies without heaviness; the brightness of a ritual you return to because it makes you feel good, not because you feel you have to," said founder Isabelle Dimang.
