Stop Choking Down Gels That Wreck Your Stomach Mid-Race

Real fruit taste — no chemical aftertaste
Won't wreck your stomach mid-workout

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 HYROX training, race day, and hybrid fitness events without caffeine, artificial ingredients, or added sugar.

Is VitalFuel clean enough for serious HYROX racers? +

Yes. VitalFuel is caffeine-free and made with simple, recognizable ingredients. There are no stimulants, artificial sweeteners, or dyes. It is designed to support the energy demands of hybrid fitness racing 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 race day.

Is VitalFuel good for HYROX specifically? +

Absolutely. VitalFuel is used by HYROX athletes of all levels — from first-timers to HYROX Pro racers. The fast-absorbing carbs from real fruit are ideal for the unique demands of HYROX, whether you're grinding through sled pushes, powering through SkiErg intervals, or fueling the 1km runs between stations.

When should I take VitalFuel? +

Most HYROX athletes use VitalFuel:

  • 10 to 15 minutes before your heat starts
  • Between stations during the race (in transition zones)
  • During long training sessions simulating race conditions

One gel is usually enough pre-race. For longer training days or Doubles 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. HYROX athletes typically notice steadier energy across all 8 stations without the spike-and-crash that comes from sugary gels or energy drinks.

Will it upset my stomach during a race? +

VitalFuel is designed to be gentle on the gut. Many HYROX athletes struggle with GI distress from thick gels during the running portions between stations. The smooth texture and real-food ingredients make VitalFuel easy to digest — even during the most demanding race efforts.

Does it replace meals? +

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

How does VitalFuel compare to other energy gels? +

Most energy gels are loaded with maltodextrin, artificial sweeteners, and synthetic ingredients that can cause GI issues during the running portions of HYROX. VitalFuel provides a controlled amount of carbs from real food — no jitters, no crash, no GI distress. Racers use it as a cleaner alternative for sustained energy across all 8 stations and 8km of running.

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 HYROX? +

Yes. Many athletes use VitalFuel for running, CrossFit, cycling, obstacle course races, triathlons, and any hybrid fitness event where they need quick, clean energy without caffeine or heavy stimulants.

How should I store VitalFuel? +

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

What if VitalFuel doesn't work for me? +

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