Frequently Asked Questions

What is VitalFuel? +

VitalFuel is a real-fruit energy gel made from bananas and coconut water. It delivers fast, clean energy for CrossFit training, competitions, and WODs without caffeine, artificial ingredients, or added sugar.

Is VitalFuel clean enough for serious athletes? +

Yes. VitalFuel is caffeine-free and made with simple, recognizable ingredients. There are no stimulants, artificial sweeteners, or dyes. It is designed to support energy needs during high-intensity training without any banned substances or questionable additives.

Every batch is third-party tested for purity and quality, so you can trust what you're putting in your body on competition day.

Is VitalFuel good for CrossFit specifically? +

Absolutely. VitalFuel is used by CrossFit athletes of all levels — from beginners to competitors. The fast-absorbing carbs from real fruit are ideal for the mixed modality demands of CrossFit, whether you're hitting heavy cleans, grinding through an AMRAP, or pushing through a long chipper.

When should I take VitalFuel? +

Most CrossFit athletes use VitalFuel:

  • 10 to 15 minutes before a WOD or class
  • Between heats during competitions
  • During long training sessions or two-a-days

One gel is usually enough for a single session. For competition days with multiple events, spacing them out every 45 to 60 minutes works well.

Will it cause a sugar crash? +

VitalFuel uses natural carbohydrates from real fruit instead of processed syrups or maltodextrin. Athletes typically notice steadier energy without the spike-and-crash that comes from sugary pre-workouts or conventional gels.

Will it upset my stomach during a workout? +

VitalFuel is designed to be gentle on the gut. Many athletes struggle with GI distress from thick gels, bars, or heavy pre-workouts during intense training. The smooth texture and real-food ingredients make VitalFuel easy to digest — even during the most demanding WODs.

Does it replace meals? +

No. VitalFuel is not a meal replacement. It is a quick energy boost to fuel performance during training and competition. You should still eat balanced meals as part of your nutrition plan.

How does VitalFuel compare to other energy gels or pre-workouts? +

Most energy gels are loaded with maltodextrin, artificial sweeteners, and synthetic ingredients. Pre-workouts hit you with caffeine and stimulants. VitalFuel provides a controlled amount of carbs from real food — no jitters, no crash, no GI distress. Athletes use it as a cleaner alternative for sustained energy during high-intensity work.

How does it taste? +

Natural banana flavor, smooth, slightly sweet but not syrupy, and extremely easy to consume mid-effort. The flavor comes from real banana purée rather than artificial ingredients.

Does it contain allergens? +

Because there are no harsh sweeteners or thickeners, athletes with IBS, sensitive digestion, or previous gel intolerance often prefer VitalFuel. It is built to minimize GI load.

VitalFuel is:

  • Gluten-free
  • Dairy-free
  • Vegan
  • Non-GMO

It contains banana and coconut. If you have fruit allergies, review the ingredients carefully.

Can I use VitalFuel for other activities besides CrossFit? +

Yes. Many athletes use VitalFuel for running, cycling, hiking, HYROX, obstacle course races, and any activity where they need quick, clean energy without caffeine or heavy stimulants.

How should I store VitalFuel? +

Store at room temperature in your gym bag, locker, or pantry. It holds up well in hot gym environments and outdoor competitions.

What if VitalFuel doesn't work for me? +

We offer a satisfaction guarantee. If VitalFuel doesn't work for your training, reach out and we will do our best to help.
