What are Veloforte energy gels?

Veloforte energy gels are smooth, single-serve gels made from real fruit and natural ingredients, designed to deliver fast, easily digested energy during exercise — with no gums, synthetic additives or artificial shortcuts. Our original gels provide 22g of natural carbohydrates plus electrolytes, the all-round choice for sessions of every kind. Our core 30g gels step things up for bigger training and race days. And Limon goes further again — 45g of natural carbohydrates and 220mg sodium in one serve — high-density race fuel for your biggest fuelling demands. All sit within our Perform range, made for active people who want real nutrition without the trade-offs.

How much carbohydrate is in Limon?

Limon delivers 45g of natural carbohydrate in a single serve — our most concentrated gel to date. It's built for athletes deliberately fuelling at higher rates, so you can hit bigger carb-per-hour targets from fewer packs.

Our original gels deliver 22g, and our core gels step up to 30g for bigger training and race days. Limon goes further again: 45g of natural carbohydrate and 220mg sodium in a single serve. At 45g each, just two an hour reach the 90g fuelling rate that long, hard efforts call for — so you carry less, open fewer wrappers and simplify your race plan. Same real nutrition, concentrated into one serious serve.

How much sodium does Limon contain, and why does it matter?

Each serve carries 220mg of sodium. Sodium is the key electrolyte lost in sweat, and longer, harder efforts increase what you need to replace. Limon's higher carbohydrate density is matched with more electrolyte to suit the sessions it's built for.

Is Limon better than the 30g or 22g gels?

No — it's built for a different job. Every Veloforte gel shares the same real-food ingredients and the same promise: the miles hurt, the fuel shouldn't. The difference is your race plan, not quality. Reach for the 30g gels as your everyday race-fuelling standard, the 22g gels for lighter carry and smaller, more frequent servings, and Limon when you want more carbohydrate from fewer packs.

Are Veloforte energy gels Informed Sport certified?

Yes, all of our energy gels are Informed Sport certified, meaning each batch is tested against the banned-substances list used in competitive sport. That gives tested athletes confidence in exactly what they're fuelling with.

Do Veloforte energy gels contain electrolytes?

Yes. Every Veloforte gel includes electrolytes to help replace the essential minerals you lose through sweat and keep your energy steady. Limon carries 220mg of sodium per serve — more electrolyte to match the longer, harder efforts it's built for.

When should I choose Limon over a 30g or 22g gel?

Reach for Limon when your plan demands higher carbohydrate density: long-distance racing, back-to-back hard efforts, or any session where you'd rather carry fewer packs. For shorter sessions, lighter carry, or a mixed plan alongside drinks, chews and bars, a 30g or 22g gel may suit you better. Many athletes carry a mix and match the format to the moment.

How often should I take one?

One before you start, then one every 20–30 minutes to keep energy topped up and steady — no dips, no bonks. At 45g each, just two Limon an hour reaches 90g, the fuelling rate long, hard efforts call for, so you carry less and open fewer wrappers.

What sports are Veloforte energy gels 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 fast, easily digested fuel that's light to carry.

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

Energy gels are smooth and swallow quickly for fast fuel with minimal effort, ideal when you're working hard and don't want to chew. Energy chews are soft bites you take one at a time for more control over your intake. Both are made from real fruit with no gums or artificial shortcuts — it comes down to texture and preference.

Raw Performance

45g of natural dual-source carbohydrates and 220mg sodium, working together to deliver sustained energy when your body asks for more.

More Fuel. Less to Carry

Our highest energy density ever. 45g of carbohydrate in a remarkably compact 67g pack means more fuel in every squeeze and fewer gels to carry.

Fuel You Still Want

Real Sicilian lemons. Bright, fresh and deliberately restrained to reduce flavour fatigue and keep you fuelling deeper into every session.

Nothing Artificial

Nothing artificial. No maltodextrin. No gums. No fillers. Just real-food ingredients your body already knows how to use.

Ingredient Integrity

Informed Sport certified. Batch tested. Radically transparent. Every ingredient earns its place—and every one is recognisable.

Elite fuel that travels light

Leave everything out there but the wrapper.

Your effort. Your energy. Your race.
That's what belongs on the course.

Limon's tear-and-save top keeps every tab attached to the pack, making it easier to fuel without leaving anything behind. One less distraction for you. One less piece of plastic for the trail.

Nothing unnecessary. Not in the recipe. Not on the trail.

Built differently. Performs differently.

Most high-carb energy gels optimise for carbohydrate alone. Limon was designed around the athlete.

That means every decision — from the carbohydrate blend and sodium level to the flavour, texture and ingredient quality — has one purpose: helping you fuel better when performance matters most.

The result is a remarkably compact 45g carbohydrate gel made entirely from real ingredients, with nothing artificial, nothing unnecessary and nothing to get between your body and its best.

Limon combines the carbohydrate targets of a modern high-carb energy gel with the ingredient quality of real food — without maltodextrin, artificial sweeteners or unnecessary additives.

At last! And I'm hooked.
More carbs, less to carry and from the best brand - this new Gel is something I've wanted for years - and it's even better than I thought it'd be. Amazing smooth texture, really clean in the mouth with a light lemon taste that's somehow lemon-curd-like. I no longer have to use so many gels and I no longer have to buy poor quality big-gel alternatives - I can now fuel how I always wanted to... clean and strong. It's genuinely made me more excited to get out there and fuel my big runs in September.

Carbs per Gel	45g natural dual-source carbohydrates — our highest-density natural race fuel, designed for longer efforts and modern high-carb fuelling strategies.
Carbs per Hour	One gel per hour delivers 45g carbohydrate. Two gels per hour delivers 90g — today's widely recommended fuelling target for many endurance events, with fewer packs to carry and open.
When To Take	Start fuelling early, before energy drops. Aim for one gel every 20–30 minutes depending on your carbohydrate target, pace and event duration.
Best For	Longer distances, harder efforts and higher carb-per-hour plans: Marathons, Long-distance Cycling, Triathlon, HYROX, Gravel racing and Ultras - any endurance session lasting longer than 90 minutes.
Sodium	220mg sodium from pink Himalayan salt helps replace electrolytes lost through sweat, supporting hydration during longer or hotter efforts.
Suitable For	Running, cycling, triathlon, HYROX, hiking, mountain sports and all endurance training and racing.
Mix It Up	Every Veloforte gel dissolves completely in water—something synthetic gels cannot achieve. Add up to two Limon gels to a bottle for a refreshing natural energy drink delivering 90g carbohydrate and 440mg sodium. Perfect when your body wants to sip rather than squeeze.
Train your gut	Your stomach adapts just like your legs. If you're aiming beyond 60–90g carbohydrate per hour, increase gradually during training. Because Limon is made entirely from natural ingredients—not artificial sweeteners or synthetic carbohydrate systems—it supports comfortable, repeatable fuelling as your strategy develops
Fuelling Strategy	Limon has been designed to work brilliantly alongside Rosso and our wider range of Energy Gels and Energy Chews including our fresh lemon & cool-mint chew, Fresco - to build a varied fuelling plan, helping reduce flavour fatigue across longer races while consistently hitting your carbohydrate targets.
