Western Ultimate League Partners with Combat Candy to Fuel Performance and Competition

[May 1, 2025] – The Western Ultimate League (WUL) is proud to announce a new partnership with Combat Candy, a bold new voice in sports nutrition founded by athletes, for athletes. This collaboration marks a shared commitment to fueling performance, celebrating inclusivity, and making high-quality nutrition more accessible.

Combat Candy is revolutionizing how athletes fuel their bodies, offering creatine monohydrate in delicious, on-the-go gummy form. With 5 grams of vegan, non-GMO, gluten- and dairy-free creatine per serving, Combat Candy’s gummies provide a convenient, travel friendly and tasty alternative to traditional powders and mixes. But this partnership is about more than better supplements—it’s about reshaping the culture of sports nutrition to be more joyful, more inclusive, and more representative of the athletes it serves.

“We’re excited to team up with Combat Candy,” said Nicole Neumiller, WUL Commissioner. “Their mission goes beyond fueling performance—it’s about rejecting outdated norms and uplifting all athletes, especially those who have been historically overlooked in the sports nutrition space. The WUL is proud to work with a brand that champions strength, science, and joy—values that align perfectly with our league and our players.”

Combat Candy was co-founded by Lucy Berman, a registered dietitian, MMA fighter, and former captain of University of Florida’s college ultimate team, alongside Lou Abramowski, a championship-level ultimate player and coach. Their shared experiences across competitive sport and nutrition led to the development of Combat Candy’s athlete-first, no-nonsense approach.

 "As a fighter, dietitian, and former ultimate player, I’ve seen how much nonsense athletes—especially women—are fed about what they should take, eat, and be,” said Berman. “Combat Candy is our rebellion: real science, real results… The WUL clearly gets it. These athletes play like beasts and still know how to have fun. That’s exactly who we made Combat Candy for."

Abramowski added, “Partnering with the WUL to support women and non-binary athletes genuinely feels a lot like a Callahan in a championship game—exciting, deeply fulfilling, and a dream come true."

As an official partner of the WUL, Combat Candy will support league initiatives and bring visibility to nutrition solutions that empower athletes to play at their best—without compromising on taste or values.
