If you’re looking to make the most of your long summer days, look no further than the Absorption Company. The supplement company has perfected bioavailable powdered supplements for all occasions.
The Absorption Company comes in four varieties: Restore, Energy, Calm, and Sleep. The packets are designed to work as an occasional pick-me-up or an everyday booster. Restore has ingredients like CoQ10 and Liposomal Vitamin C for rapid recovery and liver detox, while Energy has energy and cognition-focused ingredients like Liposomal Glutathione, caffeine, and L-Theanine. According to the Absorption Company, 84% of many supplements are not being absorbed properly; their technology is set out to make nutrients more bioavailable than ever for consumers. Most important of all, for many, the powders come in refreshing flavors like Mango Lemonade for Restore, Fruit Punch for Energy, Watermelon Lemonade for Calm, and (my favorite) Chamomile Lemonade for Sleep.

You may have heard about Chirp from its viral Wheel Foam Roller, which provides different levels of pressure to relieve back pain. Chirp’s Rolling Percussive Massager (RPM) is a combined massage gun and foam roller, with eight independently spinning bars and five adjustable speeds. Chirp’s RPM can target up to 7 inches of surface area and penetrate muscles up to 13 millimeters, similar to many massage guns, providing similar benefits in less time. The tool is particularly helpful for foot pain due to its hands-free base, and because its battery life is around 2 hours, it’s perfect for remote workers who want to multitask and upgrade their recovery routine. The rolling action not only reduces muscle knots but also enhances blood circulation and lymphatic drainage to reduce stiffness.
If you want a next-gen tool that’s half foam roller and half massage gun, check out Chirp’s Rolling Percussive Massager.

Want to upgrade your summer breakfasts? Brekki makes it easier than ever to start your day with delicious overnight oats. The oats come in a variety of flavors like Vanilla Cinnamon, Blueberries, Bananas & Maple Brown Sugar, and Cold Brew Coffee. While the flavors are sweet, they are balanced out by some of the most nutritious ingredients out there, like flax seeds, chia seeds, almonds, and buckwheat. Brekki is smooth but hearty, with 7 grams of protein and 7 grams of dietary fiber. Instead of sugar, Brekki is sweetened with organic coconut nectar and almond milk.
For those mornings when you need an extra boost, reach for Brekki’s Cold Brew Coffee flavor, which tastes like an almond milk latte and oats crossover.

If you want to become the ultimate grill master, Chef iQ Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer has you covered. It provides real-time temperature updates and flip reminders, making summertime cookouts foolproof. The probes can withstand temperatures up to 752 degrees Fahrenheit, and on a full charge, have over 40 hours of cook time. Unlike many meat thermometers, the probes are thin, so they don’t damage cuts of meat or fish. The iQ App is well-designed with aesthetically satisfying cooking countdowns that provide the internal, target, and ambient temperature. The thermometer probes come in a Smart Hub with a built-in speaker for audible real-time alerts.
For summertime grilling, the real-time alerts and updates mean more time with loved ones and less time checking on the burgers.

After Taylor Swift trained for the Eras Tour in her Forme Power Bra, the brand has been bigger than ever. The brand creates posture-correcting wearables to improve performance and recovery. Back pain has become a huge issue, with Americans spending over $100 billion annually on managing neck and back pain. Forme products combat hours of being hunched over at your computer by transforming your body’s alignment and increasing spine extension and chest expansion. Forme’s Power Bra is worth the hype, seamlessly bringing back one’s shoulders for a perfect (but comfortable) posture with moisture-wicking fabric.
The brand also has men’s and unisex apparel, like the posture-correcting men’s Ace V-Neck, and the arch booster sock, which is one of the most supportive socks I have come across. Not only are Forme’s clothes functional, but they are fashionable, with flattering designs for everyday wear even in the heat.

Are you looking to ease and cool overworked muscles this summer? KT Tape Pro Ice is an exercise tape that delivers cooling pain relief and muscle support. The tape lifts the skin to temporarily increase blood flow, reducing soreness and pain, and it doesn’t leave behind a super sticky residue. Unlike many cooling products, the tape’s menthol does not have an overwhelming smell and delivers consistent and effective relief.
If you’re looking for a way to stay on the court, the running path, or the field longer this summer, look no further than KT Tape Pro Ice.
