— A NOTE FROM VOLK
I’ve been fighting at the top level for over a decade. One thing has never changed: what I put in my body matters.
Most protein bars didn’t meet my standard. I’d read the label and find sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners, ingredients I couldn’t identify. Or I’d eat one and feel bloated for the rest of the afternoon. That’s not fuel. That’s a compromise.
So when CMBT came to me, I said: let’s build one that actually meets the standard I hold for everything else in my life. Zero sugar alcohols. All-natural ingredients. Prebiotics for gut health. Complete protein. And it has to taste good — because I’m a food guy, and if it doesn’t taste good, my name isn’t going on it.
This bar is what I eat. It’s what my wife eats. It’s what I throw in my bag before training and what I grab between the school run and the gym. It’s not a gym product. It’s a life product.
We could have taken shortcuts. Used sugar alcohols to keep costs down. Added artificial sweeteners for a sweeter taste. But that’s not how I operate — not in the octagon, not in the kitchen, and not with a product that carries my name.
The Volk Bar is built to my standard. I’m proud of it. And I think once you try it, you’ll understand why.
Every Ingredient. Every Reason.
