Take your first gel within the first 30 minutes of any effort lasting longer than 30 minutes, then top up at regular intervals rather than waiting until you feel low. For most sessions that's one gel every 20–30 minutes. Taking a gel 15–30 minutes before you start can also give you an early edge.
As a guide, aim for 45–60g of carbohydrate per hour for steady efforts and up to 60–90g per hour when you're pushing hard. With 22g of carbs per gel (30g in Rosso), that's roughly 2–3 gels an hour. A half marathon typically means around 3–6 gels and a marathon around 8–12, depending on your pace and target intake. Always practise your fuelling in training first.
Most energy gels start working within 5–15 minutes, as the carbohydrates are absorbed into your bloodstream and delivered to your muscles. Veloforte gels use dual-source carbohydrates from real fruit for fast absorption, giving you a quick lift without the heavy, sugary feel of synthetic gels.
A single gel typically provides around 30–45 minutes of fuel, depending on the intensity of your effort. Because of that, it's best to fuel steadily at regular intervals rather than waiting until your energy dips.
Yes. Energy gels deliver fast-absorbing carbohydrates that top up the glycogen your muscles burn during exercise, helping you sustain energy on longer efforts. Veloforte gels do this with real fruit and natural carbohydrates rather than maltodextrin, plus 110mg of sodium per gel to support hydration.
Used as intended during exercise, energy gels are a convenient way to fuel endurance activity. Some conventional gels rely on maltodextrin, synthetic sugars and artificial additives, which can feel harsh on the stomach for some people. Veloforte gels are made with real fruit and natural ingredients, are free from maltodextrin and synthetic additives, and are Informed Sport Certified.
Yes. Veloforte gels have a smooth, easy-to-digest texture designed to be taken without water, so they're easy to use on the move. Small sips of water can still help them go down comfortably.

Aim for up to three gels per hour during exercise. Target 45 to 60g of carbohydrate per hour for moderate efforts, rising to 60 to 90g for high intensity. With 22g of carbs per gel, that's roughly 2 to 3 gels an hour, spaced to your preference.
No. None of our gels, or any Veloforte product, contain maltodextrin. The whole range is free from synthetic ingredients, artificial additives, flavourings, colourings and preservatives.
Yes. Each Veloforte energy gel contains 110mg of sodium to support hydration and absorption during exercise.
Yes. All Veloforte energy gels are produced in an Informed Sport Certified facility and are Informed Sport tested, so they're screened for prohibited substances and made to high quality standards.
Veloforte energy gels are made with real fruit and natural carbohydrates instead of maltodextrin, synthetic sugars and artificial additives. That makes them easier to digest during exercise and delivers smooth, steady energy without the spike-and-slump of conventional gels.
Energy gels are the simplest way to carry fast, reliable fuel for a long run or ride — compact, easy to carry, and quickly absorbed when your body needs carbohydrates most. The difference is what's inside them. Most gels lean on maltodextrin and synthetic sugars. Veloforte energy gels are made with real fruit and natural carbohydrates instead, so you get smooth, steady energy that's easy to digest, mile after mile.
Every gel is Informed Sport Certified, free from maltodextrin, artificial sweeteners and synthetic additives, and 100% plant-based. It's real nutrition, built for performance — with 30,000+ reviews and 46 Great Taste Awards behind it.
Energy gels are concentrated carbohydrate supplements designed to deliver easily digestible energy during exercise. Their smooth, compact form is absorbed quickly, topping up the glycogen your muscles burn through as a session goes on. That makes them a staple for runners, cyclists and endurance athletes who need fuel on the move without stopping to eat.
Veloforte gels use dual-source carbohydrates from real fruit for fast absorption and sustained energy, plus 110mg of sodium per gel to support hydration during longer efforts.
Three things decide which gel suits you best:
Aim to match your carbohydrate intake to the intensity of the effort. For moderate sessions, target 45–60g of carbs per hour; for high-intensity work, 60–90g per hour. With 22g of carbs in most Veloforte gels, that works out at roughly two to three gels an hour. Spacing comes down to personal preference, so use training to find the rhythm that sits well for you.
Take your first gel early — ideally within the first 30 minutes — on any session lasting longer than 30 minutes, then keep topping up at regular intervals rather than waiting until you feel depleted. Fuelling steadily helps you hold your energy and focus from start to finish. The gels are easy to take without water, though small sips can help them go down.
Most sports nutrition relies on artificial shortcuts — maltodextrin, synthetic sugars, gums and fillers. We take them out. Veloforte energy gels are crafted from real fruit and natural ingredients, with optimised electrolytes and a smooth, easy-to-digest texture that's kinder on the stomach during hard efforts. No synthetic sugars, no artificial additives, no compromise on performance.
Gels are one part of the system. Pair them with our energy chews, energy bars and electrolyte powders to build the fuelling plan that carries you through your longest days.
