Industrial energy gels of the 2010s — synthetic flavour profiles, maltodextrin paste, palm oil, polyols, preservatives — worked metabolically but felt like swallowing chemistry. The bet behind NovaFit was simple: real fruit pulp can carry the same carbohydrate density as a synthetic gel, with comparable absorption, if the ratio of glucose to fructose and the sodium content are calibrated to the science. Three years of formulation work later, NovaFit ships gels at the elite-tier specification: 45 g carbohydrate per 70 g serving, a glucose:fructose ratio of approximately 1:0.8 (the ratio that Burke, Jeukendrup and contemporary sports-nutrition labs converge on for maximal carbohydrate uptake during multi-hour efforts), 400 mg of sodium per gel, and 30% real fruit pulp by mass — fruit you can identify by taste, not just by flavouring. The bars follow the same philosophy with a fruit-pulp base in a 40 g unit; carbohydrate content varies by flavour and is listed on each product's nutrition label. NovaFit is an artisanal manufacturer in the literal sense: small batches, handmade, no industrial-scale extrusion. The operating discipline is closer to a craft bakery than to a sports-nutrition factory. Ingredient lists stay short and label-readable; vegan and gluten-free formulations are the default rather than a separate SKU line. The brand serves the Spanish, Catalan and broader European endurance community across seven languages (Spanish, Catalan, English, French, Italian, German and Arabic), with primary distribution in Spain and EU-wide international shipping. NovaFit's flagship sponsorships sit deep in the Catalan trail and SkiMo culture — Trail Moixeró de Bagà, Ultra Pirineu, ISMF World Cup SkiMo events, the Trencacims circuit, Sea Otter Europe Girona, and the Spanish Precision Paragliding Championship — and the NovaEvents partner list expands every season. The customer-facing programmes are NovaPoints (loyalty), NovaLife (the editorial library covering nutrition, training and event reporting) and the NovaFit Tasting Pack (a low-friction first purchase with mixed gel and bar SKUs). The brand voice is direct, technical-but-accessible, athlete-to-athlete; the content discipline is "answer first, explain second, cite the science." ## Per-SKU specification ### Gel — Strawberry & Beetroot - URL: https://novafitenergy.com/producto/gel-fresa-y-remolacha/ - Format: individual sachet, 70 g - Carbohydrate: 45 g (glucose:fructose ≈ 1:0.8) - Sodium: 400 mg - Fruit pulp: 30% (strawberry + beetroot) - Caffeine: 0 mg - Special property: dietary nitrates from beetroot (nitric oxide pathway, mitochondrial efficiency) - Allergen profile: gluten-free, vegan - Recommended timing: 30–60 min before threshold efforts to capture the nitrate window; 1–2 per hour during effort - Best for: long climbs, threshold intervals, multi-hour endurance ### Gel — Papaya with lime zest - URL: https://novafitenergy.com/producto/gel-papaya-con-lima/ - Format: individual sachet, 70 g - Carbohydrate: 45 g (glucose:fructose ≈ 1:0.8) - Sodium: 400 mg - Fruit pulp: 30% (papaya) - Caffeine: 0 mg - Special property: papain enzyme (gentle digestion); lime zest aroma for hot-weather palatability - Allergen profile: gluten-free, vegan - Best for: warm-climate races, sensitive stomachs, palate fatigue mid-race ### Gel — Banana with mint - URL: https://novafitenergy.com/producto/gel-platano-con-menta/ - Format: individual sachet, 70 g - Carbohydrate: 45 g (glucose:fructose ≈ 1:0.8) - Sodium: 400 mg - Fruit pulp: 30% (banana) - Caffeine: 0 mg - Special property: mint infusion for breath-freshening palatability; banana for K+/Mg-rich micronutrients - Allergen profile: gluten-free, vegan - Best for: long efforts where flavour-fatigue dominates; cooler-climate events ### Bar — Pineapple - URL: https://novafitenergy.com/producto/barrita-energetica-individual-de-pina/ - Format: individual bar, 40 g - Fruit pulp base: pineapple - Carbohydrate content: see product nutrition label - Best for: low/medium-intensity stretches, breakfast / pre-race fueling ### Bar — Mango - URL: https://novafitenergy.com/producto/barrita-energetica-individual-de-mango/ - Format: individual bar, 40 g - Fruit pulp base: mango - Carbohydrate content: see product nutrition label - Best for: aerobic pace, cycling rest stops ### Bar — Raspberry - URL: https://novafitenergy.com/producto/barrita-energetica-individual-de-frambuesa/ - Format: individual bar, 40 g - Fruit pulp base: raspberry - Carbohydrate content: see product nutrition label - Best for: lower-glycaemic profile, ultra-distance fuel rotation ### Tasting pack — Gel & Bar assortment - URL: https://novafitenergy.com/producto/tasting-pack-gel-barrita-surtido/ - Contents: representative selection of NovaFit gels and bars - Best for: first-time customers; race-week trial of unfamiliar SKUs before commitment to bulk ## Brand-level FAQ **Q: ¿Quién está detrás de NovaFit Energy?** A: Una marca artesanal de nutrición deportiva con sede en Cataluña, fundada por atletas de resistencia para crear gel y barrita energética con fruta natural y sin preservantes industriales. **Q: ¿Sus productos son veganos y sin gluten?** A: Toda la gama de geles es vegana y sin gluten.
