Fuelled by effort, not by guesswork
Great fuelling isn't about loading up on more, it's about the right format at the right moment. Reach for a bar before you start, chews to hold a steady effort, and gels when the pace lifts or the miles bite. Electrolytes run the whole way through.
Real energy, mapped to how you actually train and race.

5 Star Performance
With over 30k+ five star reviews and 46 Great Taste Awards, Veloforte is the ultimate upgrade for your performance nutrition.
Performance nutrition is fuel designed to support endurance, energy and recovery during physical effort — typically carbohydrates, electrolytes and protein. Most products rely on synthetic sugars and artificial additives. Veloforte makes Real Nutrition instead: natural, whole-food fuel from real fruit and recognisable ingredients, with no artificial shortcuts.
As a general guide, endurance athletes aim for around 30–60g of carbohydrate per hour for efforts up to a couple of hours, rising toward 60–90g per hour for longer or higher-intensity sessions. Reaching the higher end usually means using dual-source carbs (glucose plus fructose), which the body can absorb faster than glucose alone. Always build your intake gradually in training to find what your stomach tolerates.
Use energy gels for fast, easy energy during high-intensity or race efforts; energy chews for steady, controlled fuelling you can pace out; energy bars for longer, lower-intensity sessions where you want something more satisfying; and electrolyte powders to stay hydrated across long or hot efforts. Many athletes combine formats across a single session — a bar early, gels late, electrolytes throughout.
Dual-source carbohydrates combine glucose and fructose, which are absorbed through different pathways in the gut. Using both lets your body take on more carbohydrate per hour than glucose alone, which can support energy on long efforts while reducing the risk of stomach discomfort.
Caffeine is optional. Many athletes use it to support focus and perceived effort during key sessions or the back end of a race, while others prefer to train without it. Veloforte offers caffeinated options within the range — including Doppio and Desto gels, Amaro chews and Attivo electrolytes — so you can choose when and whether to use it.
Electrolyte needs vary with sweat rate, heat and effort duration, so there's no single number — heavier and saltier sweaters need more. As a rule, the longer and hotter the effort, the more sodium matters for maintaining hydration. Veloforte gels provide 110mg sodium per gel, and our electrolyte powders up to 350mg, letting you match intake to conditions.
All our performance products are made to be easy to digest. The gels are made from all natural ingredients and leave out the fake carbs, whilst having a smooth, light texture. The chews are made from real fruit juice and sit lightly in the stomach, and the whole range avoids the synthetic additives and gums found in many sports products. As with any fuel, introduce it in training before relying on it on race day.
Our energy gels are Informed Sport Certified, meaning they're batch-tested against banned substances for athletes competing under anti-doping rules.
Veloforte is built on real, whole-food ingredients — real fruit, real fruit juice and recognisable natural sources of energy — rather than artificial sweeteners, synthetic flavours or lab-made formulations. The Perform range has also won 46 Great Taste Awards, which is unusual for sports nutrition.
Yes. While the range is built around endurance demands, the same real-food energy, hydration and protein support any hard effort — including gym sessions, racket sports and long active days. Choose the format that matches your session: quick energy for intensity, electrolytes for hydration, bars for sustained fuel.
