Since launching VALA in 2020 (after 2.5 years of testing), I've been passionate about including only natural goodness in our gels.

I have been trying different gels for a few years now and haven’t found one I liked or that didn’t upset my stomach due to my IBS. This one tasted great and gave me no trouble at all with my stomach. It has all natural ingredients and you can really taste each individual flavour....

Yes, VALA crew… that is none other than the living vegan legend that is @gazoakley using one of our 100% natural gels during footie training.

Huge thanks to the Creative Kicks crew for the local love and for inviting us...
