What are Veloforte energy chews?

Veloforte energy chews are soft, melt-in-the-mouth fuel made from real fruit juice, designed to deliver fast, natural energy before and during exercise. Each pack provides 42g of dual-source carbohydrates (glucose and fructose) and 145mg of electrolytes, with no gums, synthetic additives or artificial shortcuts. They sit within our Perform range, made for active people who want real nutrition without the trade-offs.

Are Veloforte energy chews vegan?

Yes. Every flavour in the energy chews range is vegan and vegetarian. They're also gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, soy-free and GM-free, so they suit a wide range of dietary needs.

Do Veloforte energy chews contain caffeine?

Only Amaro does. Amaro delivers 75mg of natural caffeine from guarana to help sharpen focus when fatigue sets in. Citro, Fresco, Mela and Nero are all caffeine-free, so you can fuel without a stimulant.

How many carbohydrates are in a pack of energy chews?

Each pack contains 42g of natural dual-source carbohydrates — a blend of glucose and fructose from real fruit juice. Dual-source carbs are absorbed through two different pathways, which helps your body take on more energy during hard efforts.

Do Veloforte energy chews contain electrolytes?

Yes. Every pack provides 145mg of pure electrolytes — 95mg sodium and 50mg potassium — to help replace the essential minerals lost through sweat and keep your energy steady.

How many energy chews should I eat during exercise?

We recommend two chews every 20 minutes during activity to maintain a steady flow of energy. You can also take them in the hour before you start to top up your reserves ahead of the effort.

Should I take energy chews before or during exercise?

Both. Take them in the lead-up to fuel before you start, and during longer or harder sessions to sustain energy and focus. Because they melt in the mouth and sit gently on the stomach, they're easy to take on the move.

Which energy chew flavour should I choose?

The main choice is caffeine or caffeine-free. Choose Amaro for a natural caffeine boost, or Citro, Fresco, Mela and Nero for caffeine-free fuel. Beyond that it comes down to taste — the Mixed pack is an easy way to try the range.

What sports are Veloforte energy chews good for?

They're made for endurance and high-effort activity, including running, cycling, triathlon, swimming, hiking, racket sports and gym training. Anywhere you need clean, fast-access energy that's easy to carry and easy to eat.

What's the difference between energy chews and energy gels?

Energy chews give you the same fast, real-fruit energy as a gel in a soft chew you eat bite by bite, so it's easier to control your intake and easier on the palate. Like everything we make, they're built from real, recognisable ingredients with no gums or artificial shortcuts.

Are Veloforte energy chews easy on the stomach?

They're designed to be. They melt in the mouth, absorb quickly and are made without gums or synthetic fillers, so they sit gently even at higher intensities. As with any fuel, it's worth trying them in training before race day.

How & When To Use

Energy Chews give you fuel one bite at a time. Up to 44g of natural dual-source carbohydrates and 145mg of pure electrolytes per pack, in six soft chews you can take at your own pace. Controlled fuelling for sessions of every kind — before you start and all the way through.

Carbs Per Pack	Up to 44g natural dual-source carbohydrates — glucose and fructose from real fruit juice, absorbed via two pathways so your body can take on more energy during hard efforts.
Carbs Per Hour	Two chews every 20 minutes works out at one full pack per hour, delivering up to 44g carbohydrate. Take fewer, more often for lighter sessions.
When To Take	Both before and during. Take a few chews in the hour before you start to top up your reserves, then keep fuelling steadily once you're moving.
How Often	Two chews every 20 minutes during activity, for a steady flow of energy rather than peaks and dips.
Electrolytes	145mg of pure electrolytes per pack — 95mg sodium and 50mg potassium — replacing essential minerals lost through sweat.
Caffeine	Amaro delivers 75mg of natural caffeine from guarana; every other flavour is caffeine-free. Following caffeine consumption guidelines, don't exceed 375mg per day (the equivalent of 5 packs of Amaro).
Why Chew	Chewing releases saliva and enzymes that help digestion and absorption, turning food into usable energy more efficiently.
Best For	Sessions where you want control over your intake, and longer efforts where varying texture and flavour keeps fuelling easy deeper into the miles.
Suitable For	All sports — running, cycling, triathlon, swimming, hiking, racket sports and gym training. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, soy-free and GM-free.
Fuelling Strategy	Designed to work alongside our Energy Gels and Energy Bars — mix formats across a long day to hit your carbohydrate targets without flavour fatigue.

Deciding whether to use Chews or Gels is very much a personal preference.
Each have their own benefits. Both deliver pro performance.

We pioneered the original soft energy chew as a powerful alternative to energy gels, allowing athletes to pace fuelling better during long efforts.

When to Choose Energy Chews:

Best for steady fuelling and performance over time
Ideal for long training sessions or endurance efforts
Great if you prefer a soft, chewable texture over more liquid gels
Easier to control your energy intake gradually
Paced, more manageable fuelling over time

👉🏻 Choose chews when you want energy control, comfort, and consistency.

When to Choose Energy Gels:

Best for rapid energy and in fast race conditions
Ideal during high-intensity sessions
Perfect when you need quick carbs
Great for late-stage fatigue when chewing feels difficult
Easy to carry and simple to track intake
Veloforte Gels can (uniquely) be diluted into water bottles too, as an energy drink

👉🏻 Go for gels when performance and speed are your priority.

Great taste!
Really pleasantly surprised by these chews. Lemon and mint is a great combo - nice and refreshing. I find chewing while running quite difficult but these do melt away fairly quickly. I didn’t feel quite the same hit I get from a gel but these kept me going in between gels. It was nice to have some variety on a long run - I will definitely buy again.
