Hosstile expanded its Foundation pre-workout with Sour Grape and Sour Green Apple, featuring tangy sour notes layered onto familiar fruit profiles. Foundation is a $29.99, 30-serving pre-workout positioned as a more affordable option with a range of active ingredients and dosages.
The two new flavors raise Foundation’s listed menu to seven, joining Jelly Bean Rush, Tangy Blood Orange, Rainbow Candy and Blue Hawaiian, which combines coconut, pineapple and orange. Both Sour Grape and Sour Green Apple come in the brand’s standard 30-serving tubs and are available through Hosstile’s website for the same $29.99.
For consumers, this means more flavor variety without a price premium, appealing to those who prefer candy-inspired or tart pre-workout options. The additions reflect a broader supplement trend in which brands extend established formulas through frequent flavor releases. For Hosstile, the strategy creates renewed interest in Foundation while preserving its accessible price and existing product format.
