Xact Nutrition: energy and protein for running

Discover the complete Xact Nutrition range, designed in Quebec to deliver fast energy, effective hydration and recovery protein for runners and endurance athletes. Fruit bars that are easy to chew even mid-effort, convenient electrolytes and protein snacks: simple, natural, effective nutrition for road, trail and long distances.

The Xact range: a format for every need

Fruit energy bars

Small, soft and easy to digest, Xact Energy bars deliver fast-absorbing carbohydrates in natural flavours: cherry, strawberry, maple, orange, green apple, apricot. Many are vegan, and the blackcurrant version adds caffeine for demanding efforts.

Chews and fruit gel

Energy chews let you split up your carbohydrate intake, while the caffeinated fruit gel delivers a quick boost on race day.

Electro2 electrolytes

Tablets that dissolve in water to replace the sodium lost through sweat — perfect in hot weather and on long outings.

Immediate Recovery and protein wafers

The Immediate Recovery drink (chocolate or vanilla-caramel) and protein wafers support muscle repair and energy replenishment after your effort.

Why choose Xact Nutrition?

Simple ingredients, soft textures that are easy to eat on the move, and no digestive heaviness, even at high intensity. Designed in Quebec, the brand supports local runners through winter training and summer racing alike.

How to fit Xact into your training plan

Before your effort: a light bar 30 to 60 minutes before your session to top up your stores. During your effort: once a run exceeds 60 minutes, take in carbohydrates regularly (bar, chews or gel) with electrolytes in your water. After your effort: a recovery drink or protein wafer within 30 minutes to support muscle repair.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Xact energy bars and protein bars?
Fruit energy bars deliver fast carbohydrates to fuel your effort during the run. Protein bars and wafers are meant for after the effort, to support muscle recovery.
Do Xact products contain caffeine?
Only some. The blackcurrant bar and blackcurrant fruit gel are caffeinated; other flavours are caffeine-free. Choose based on the time of day and your sensitivity.
Are Xact bars vegan?
Many Xact fruit energy bars are vegan. Check each product page to confirm by flavour and format.
How do I use Electro2 electrolyte tablets?
Dissolve one tablet in your bottle or soft flask of water. Use them during efforts over an hour, in hot weather, or whenever you're sweating heavily.
When should I take the Immediate Recovery drink?
Ideally within 30 minutes after your effort — the window when muscles best absorb carbohydrates and protein for recovery.
Is Xact Nutrition a Quebec brand?
