Is HeyBear for you?
If you love lollies but feel guilty having a bunch of sugar, struggled to get your fibre in, or just want something that feels good to enjoy and pushes your closer to your goals, HeyBear is for you.
We started HeyBear because we love sweet treats and don't want to give them up. It's perfect for you if you want:
- A daily snack you actually feel good about
- To hit your protein goals without chalky shakes or bars
- Something you can toss in your gym bag, desk drawer, or handbag
- To hit your fibre goals!
What does it taste like?
Flavour and texture are EVERYTHING when it comes to snacks. So we started with nostalgic flavours (think cola bottles, the grape z*ppos, and the red frogs). Then we added protein.
We could have added more, but we wanted to ensure there was ZERO protein taste.

Reactions
Transparency Matters.
Protein
Well, collagen isn't a COMPLETE protein. It's missing Leucine and Tryptophan to activate Muscle Protein Synthesis. So, we add them.
Calories
Our main ingredient (IMO) is an unavailable carb/prebiotic fibre - so it isn't fully digested. So, digestion-based calorie counting would say HeyBear has 206 cal per 100g.
However, Australian law requires Atwater calculation for labelling, which counts IMO as a standard carb. This yields 267 cal per 100g.
When we count our calories at the HeyBear office, we want to calculate the actual calories that are digested, so we prefer to use the digestion-based value of 206 cal per 100g.
Gelatin
Protein snacks should taste like real snacks. This means we have to use gelatin. To make HeyBear something everyone can enjoy, we use halal-certified gelatin.
Fibre
Out latest lab results showed 15.4g of dietary fibre per serve (that's more than a cup of chickpeas) thanks to our main ingredient: IMO. Say hey to healthy poops!
Low Sugar vs Sugar free
We intentionally avoided sugar-free. Why? Sugar alcohols like erythritol, sorbitol, Mannitol, aren't great for your gut and can have a laxative effect... 💩
We opted for IMO and avoided sugar alcohols so you can snack comfortably.
Some more FAQs
When will my gummies arrive?
We use robots to speed things up! (check them out here) Orders typically ship same day or within 24hrs. On average they arrive 1-3 days after dispatch.
You could be snacking on these delicious gummies and enjoying improved health just 3 days from now.
Is there actually protein in them?
We get this a lot because no one can taste the protein. So, had to prove it: Click here to see them!
Why not just have a protein shake?
If your goal is protein efficiency, even I would say have a protein shake.
If you want a better snack that you won't feel guilty eating, enjoy HeyBear.
Isn't collagen an incomplete protein...?
Ah yes, I see you know your protein well! This is why we fortify our gummy bears with L-Leucine + L-Tryptophan. So, your body can activate Muscle Protein Synthesis!
