Zippy Bears
Born from Necessity. Built for Performance.What started as one athlete solving a problem became a better way to fuel your day.
The Story Behind Zippy Bears
It started with a college football player…We’re the Fischer family — an Alaska family that stumbled into the gummy business because one of our own needed something that didn’t exist yet.
Every pouch we sell is made and packaged right here in Alaska, by us. Here’s how it happened.
Four Chapters, One Bear
The Problem
Our son was playing college football in South Dakota while managing Type 1 diabetes. Before workouts and games, he had to drink pre-workout for energy, then eat gummy bears to raise his blood sugar enough to safely perform. The combination left him feeling overly full, uncomfortable, and sluggish.
The Idea
He had an idea: what if the energy was already inside the gummy bear? He started experimenting in the kitchen, creating gummy bears infused with pre-workout ingredients and creatine. Teammates loved them — and started asking to buy them.
The Evolution
People weren’t just using them before workouts. They were taking them throughout the day for focus, energy, and mental clarity — without the crash or heaviness of typical energy drinks. So we went back to work and developed a new formula with vitamins and ingredients known to support cognitive and cardiac health.
Today
Zippy Bears is now our #1 product and a better-for-you alternative to energy drinks — trusted by thousands who want clean, convenient energy that supports both mind and body. We’re proud to be family owned and operated, based in Alaska, with products manufactured and packaged right here at home.
Small Bear. Big Job.
This little guy is the whole idea in one bite: the energy, vitamins, and focus support that used to take a can, a scoop, and a handful of candy — now already inside the bear.
Kitchen-born, teammate-tested, and made in small batches in Alaska ever since.
Thank you for supporting our family business.
