Why we use 100% natural ingredients
When I created VALA, I was passionate about formulating a gel that was kind on the gut AND the immune system when training. It seemed counterproductive to eat an unrefined diet, only to undo all of the carefully considered nutrition by chugging back a sachet of lab-created ingredients. I knew then that nature had all of the ingredients I needed to make this gel, so it was only a matter of finding the right ones that worked together and getting the balance juuuust right.
It always makes me really happy to say that VALA includes 100% pure lemon and lime juice, not the synthetic tasting ‘juice from concentrate’ (yuk!) that leaves a weird aftertaste in your mouth. Not only do these natural juices give our gels a delicious flavour, they also have heaps of hidden benefits.⠀

Lemon juice is praised for being high in vitamin C and contains several essential electrolytes, including potassium, which is crucial for proper muscle function. Lime juice is known for helping to eliminate excess acids from the body, which includes lactic acid. It’s also said to boost the immune system and is packed with antibacterial properties.
It took a lot of trial and error but the lemon and lime juices are two of my favourite ingredients in VALA. Not only do they help to keep our gels naturally preserved, they also add a subtle citrus aftertaste following the initial sweet hit!
