Questions

Good to know.

The product

Does venison taste gamey?

Not the way you're thinking. Wild Irish venison is lean, clean and naturally rich, closer to good beef than anything you'd describe as game. Seasoned with garlic, black pepper or chilli, it's deeply savoury and moreish. Most first-timers are surprised how approachable it is.

What's actually in it?

88-91% wild Irish venison depending on flavour, plus salt, spices and a natural curing system. That's it. No soy protein isolate, no sugar syrups, no sweeteners, no artificial preservatives, no ingredients you need to Google. Two flavours: Garlic & Black Pepper and Chilli & Garlic.

Is it ultra-processed?

No. Charge is made the old way, cured, seasoned and slow-dehydrated. It's a real meat product with a short, honest ingredient list. The opposite of what most "protein snacks" have become.

What's the texture like?

Soft-bite and satisfying, not tough or chewy like some jerky. Each twin-stick pack is easy to eat on the move without mess or effort. Think proper meat stick, not a dried-out bar.

How long does it last?

Charge has a verified 12-month ambient shelf life, unopened. No fridge ever needed. That shelf stability comes from traditional curing and dehydration, not from a long ingredients list. In practice, they tend not to last that long.

Is it high in salt?

Curing uses salt, that's part of what makes Charge shelf-stable without artificial preservatives. Full sodium information is on the nutrition panel.

Where does the venison come from?

From wild deer herds in Ireland, ethically and sustainably sourced. Wild venison is free-ranging and not intensively farmed. It's also the reason Charge tastes the way it does.

Why venison and not beef or chicken?

Venison is naturally leaner and higher in protein per calorie than most conventional meats. It's also wild, Irish and genuinely distinctive, not another commodity protein source. We chose it because it's better for this job, not just different for the sake of it.

Nutrition & diet

What are the macros?

Per 42g twin-stick pack: 15g protein, 131 calories, under 1g sugar, low carb. Full nutrition info is on every pack and on the product page.

Is it keto or low-carb friendly?

Yes. Under 3g carbohydrates and under 1g sugar per pack. Charge fits keto, low-carb and high-protein routines without compromise.

Is it gluten-free?

Charge contains no gluten-containing ingredients. We have not tested to certified gluten-free standards, so if you have coeliac disease or a serious gluten intolerance please check with us before ordering.

Is it dairy-free?

Charge contains no dairy ingredients. Always check the label if you have a milk allergy.

Is it suitable during perimenopause or for women focused on protein intake?

Charge is a clean, high-protein savoury snack with no added sugar, no sweeteners and no ultra-processed fillers. Many women following a higher-protein approach tell us Charge fits easily into their routine. It's food, not a supplement, just real protein from real meat.

Is it good for training or sport?

Charge is a practical high-protein snack that fits easily around training. 15g protein per pack, low calorie, low carb, portable and shelf-stable. It suits casual gym-goers, GAA players, BJJ athletes and Hyrox competitors equally well.

Can I use it for meal prep or as part of a calorie-controlled diet?

Yes. At 131 calories and 15g protein per pack, Charge is easy to build into a tracked diet. It gives you a reliable protein hit without blowing your calorie budget, and it doesn't need to be cooked, chilled or prepared.

Is it good for long days on site, in the van or outdoors?

Built for it. No fridge, no prep, no mess. Charge was designed for people who need real food during long working days, not a vending machine bar or a packet of crisps. Tradespeople, farmers, drivers and anyone working away from a kitchen tell us it fills a gap nothing else really did.

Is it suitable if I'm trying to eat less ultra-processed food?

That's exactly who it's for. Short ingredient list, no artificial preservatives, no sweeteners, no soy isolate, no emulsifiers. Charge is a cured and dehydrated meat product made the traditional way. It's processed in the sense that all cooked food is, but it's not ultra-processed in the way most packaged snacks are.

Why does it cost more than a protein bar?

Because the main ingredient is wild Irish venison, not sugar, soy isolate and vegetable oil. Real meat from real animals costs more than synthetic filler. What you're paying for is food, not a confectionery product wearing a protein label.

Ordering, shipping & returns

Can I preorder now?

Yes. Preorders are open now and will ship in August 2026. If anything changes we'll be in touch straight away.

Where do you ship to?

Can I travel with it?

Yes. Shelf-stable, lightweight, no liquids, no refrigeration. Charge works in a desk drawer, gym bag, backpack, van, plane or anywhere else you need reliable protein without planning around a fridge.

How will my order be packed?

Charge is shelf-stable so it travels well. Your order will arrive in a sturdy box, packed to protect the product. No ice packs, no special handling needed.

What if I need to cancel my preorder?

No problem. Contact us before your order ships and we'll sort a full refund. We'd rather you wait until you're ready than feel locked in.
