THE COMPANY IS NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND THE COMPANY A PROXY
To the Shareholders of NutraFuels, Inc.:
This Information Statement is furnished to holders of shares of common stock of NutraFuels, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), to inform you that, in lieu of a special meeting of shareholders, on February 4, 2019, by written consent the holder of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of voting capital stock has approved the name change of the Company’s company to “NutraLife BioSciences, Inc.” (the “Action”).

INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(C)
OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Information Statement is being mailed on or about February 15, 2019, to the holders of record at the close of business on February 1, 2019 (the “Record Date”), of the common stock of NutraFuels, Inc., a Florida corporation, in connection with actions taken by written consent of the holder of a majority of the Company’s voting capital stock in lieu of a special meeting approving a change of the Company’s name from NutraFuels, Inc. to “NutraLife BioSciences, Inc.” (the “Action”).
This Information Statement is being distributed pursuant to the requirements of Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended to the Company’s shareholders of record on the Record Date. The action approved by the majority shareholder will be effective 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement. The Company anticipates mailing this Information Statement on or about February 15, 2019, to shareholders of record on February 1, 2019. This Information Statement also constitutes notice under Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporations Act that the corporate action was taken by written consent of the majority shareholders.
The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by us. The Company will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Company’s common stock held of record by them and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith.

As of the Record Date, the Company had the following shares of its voting capital stock outstanding:
|
● |
106,304,585 shares of common stock with one (1) vote per share; and |
|
● |
1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock each entitled to five hundred thousand (500,000) votes per share. |
The Company’s transfer is VStock Transfer, LLC and its mailing address is 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598. Its telephone number is (212) 828-8436 and its facsimile is (646) 536-3179.
The sole member of the Company’s board of directors and principal shareholder of the Company who holds a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting capital stock, on the Record Date has executed a written consent on February 4, 2019 approving the Action.

Under Florida law, a meeting of shareholders is not required to approve the Action. The elimination of the need for a meeting of shareholders to approve the Action is made possible by Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation Act which provides that any action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if the action is taken by the holders of outstanding stock of each voting group entitled to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes with respect to each voting group that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all voting groups and shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. In order to eliminate the costs involved in holding a special meeting the majority shareholders executed the written consent.
NO MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS REQUIRED
The Company is not soliciting any votes in connection with the Action. The majority shareholder that has consented to the Action holds a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting rights and, accordingly, such person has sufficient voting rights to approve the Action.
AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
The Company is amending its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) solely for the purposes of changing its name from “NutraFuels, Inc. to NutraLife BioSciences, Inc. No other changes are being made at this time to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit A to this Information Statement.
The Company expects the effective date of the Amendment will be 20 days after this Information Statement is first mailed to the Company’s shareholders who did not execute the written consent of the majority shareholders.
Because the Company’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the name change will also require processing by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, pursuant to Rule 10b-17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in order for this action to be recognized in the market for trading purposes. The Company expects to receive FINRA’s clearance prior to the effective date. The Company’s common stock will be quoted on the OTC Markets OTCQB under its new name and new trading symbol immediately following the effective date. The Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the effective date of the name change, as well as its new trading symbol and CUSIP number, prior to such effective date.
Following the name change, the share certificates in bearing the current name and CUSIP number will continue to be valid. In the future, new share certificates will be issued reflecting the new name and new CUSIP number in due course as old certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer, but this in no way will affect the validity of the stock certificates held by the Company’s Shareholders. The Company requests that shareholders do not send in any of their stock certificates at this time

DISSENTER’S RIGHTS
Under Florida law there are no dissenter’s rights available to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the name change of the Company.
SHAREHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME LAST NAME AND ADDRESS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy and information statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy or information statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy or information statement to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or the Company that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy or information statement, or if you currently receive multiple proxy or information statements and would prefer to participate in householding, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to NUTRAFUELS, INC., 6601 Lyons Road L-6, Coconut Creek, FL 33073 or by faxing a communication to 754-227-5340.
