XACT Nutrition started with one idea: there has to be a better-tasting alternative to an energy gel. Our passion for food & sports led us to create products that work using natural ingredients that taste good. This idea led to xact nutrition’s 1st product, FRUIT2 energy bars.
Born from a marriage of our skills & passions, our team is dedicated to changing the way that consumers think about sport nutrition.
