100% natural goodness - always!

I love it when a customer tags VALA in their pics and says that our gels “Only include the good stuff" and that "Every ingredient has a purpose!”. That’s what I set out to achieve with our gels and seeing so many connect with our brand purpose always makes me smile from ear to ear.

When we say “Made from natural ingredients” we really do mean it! Keep reading to find out the purpose of each of VALA’s seven ingredients…

MAPLE SYRUP
Maple syrup contains a blend of sucrose and fructose, which are easily absorbed by the body. These are essential for a quick burst of energy when exercising. Maple syrup is one of our base ingredients and helps to give VALA its sweet edge. We use 100% pure Canadian maple in our gels.

DATE PASTE
Date paste is another one of our base ingredients as its sugars are easily digested and can be immediately moved to the blood after consumption. Dates can be quickly metabolised to release energy, which makes them ideal for endurance sports.

LEMON JUICE 
Lemon juice is high in vitamin C and contains several essential electrolytes, including potassium, which is crucial for proper muscle function.

LIME JUICE 
Lime juice helps to eliminate excess acids from the body, including lactic acid. It’s also packed with antibacterial properties. These citrus juices add a zingy aftertaste to VALA and complement the sweetness of the dates and maple syrup.

POWDERED CHIA SEEDS 
Chia produces a gel-forming action, which slows the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar, allowing the body to be be fuelled for longer periods of time. We use powdered chia seeds to avoid that ‘gloopy’ feeling that whole chia seeds can leave in your mouth.⁣ 

MATCHA TEA POWDER
Matcha is full of antioxidants called catechins, which reduce inflammation. It also contains polyphenols - the most potent antioxidant - and has more of these than broccoli, blueberries and dark chocolate.⁣ It also prevents our gels from tasting too sweet!

SEA SALT
Salt regulates water content both inside and outside of cells, creating an electrolyte balance and increasing hydration. We use @halenmon salt as its distinct taste adds a unique taste to VALA (and Halen Môn is a Welsh company, just like us!).
