A strengthening concrete admixture for the production of high-strength concrete products is provided. The strengthening concrete admixture comprises water; a set retarder comprising a salt of gluconic acid; one or more set accelerators; one or more hardening accelerators; and at least one stabilizing agent. Incorporation of the strengthening admixture in a cement mixture enhances both early and late age strength development and allows for sustainable and more energy efficient construction practices.
