Veloforte Limon – Natural lemon energy gel, 45 g of carbohydrates
A high-performance natural energy gel for endurance sports
The Veloforte Limon is a natural energy gel rich in carbohydrates, designed to support athletes during the most demanding endurance training sessions and competitions. Its formula combines 45 g of dual-source carbohydrates and 220 mg of sodium in a compact format of 67 g.
Made with real Sicilian lemons and Himalayan pink salt, this energy gel features a natural composition, with no artificial additives, unnecessary fillers, or synthetic sugars.
With its light texture, refreshing lemon flavor, and high carbohydrate concentration, Veloforte Limon is designed for runners, trail runners, cyclists, and triathletes who want to meet their energy intake goals while carrying fewer gels.
45 g of carbohydrates per gel for prolonged efforts
Each Veloforte Limon provides 45 g of carbohydrates, a particularly useful amount for high-carbohydrate nutrition strategies.
Its formula is based on two complementary sources:
This combination of dual-source carbohydrates makes it possible to build an energy strategy suited to long, intense efforts.
With 45 g of carbohydrates per unit, it's also easier to achieve high intakes without carrying lots of wrappers.
| Quantity consumed |

| 1 gel |

| 2 gels |

| 3 gels |
135 g |
For athletes aiming for 90 g of carbs per hour, two Limon gels provide this amount, provided it fits their nutritional strategy and digestive tolerance.
220 mg of sodium to support hydration
The Veloforte Limon energy gel also provides 220 mg of sodium per serving, from Himalayan pink salt.
During physical activity, sweating leads to losses of water and electrolytes, including sodium.
The sodium in Limon helps complement an athlete's hydration strategy, especially during prolonged efforts or exercise in hot conditions.

A natural recipe with Sicilian lemon
Veloforte developed Limon with a simple philosophy: prioritize natural ingredients while meeting the energy demands of endurance sports.
Its recipe celebrates real Sicilian lemons, which give it a fresh, light, tangy flavor.
The manufacturer also highlights a formula that is:
This approach offers an alternative to conventional energy gels while maintaining a high carb content.
A light texture for easy consumption during exercise
The texture of Veloforte Limon was designed to be easy to consume during training and competitions.
Its lemony flavor brings a refreshing sensation that is especially welcome as the miles add up.
The gel can therefore be included in a nutrition strategy for efforts when eating solid foods becomes less practical.
It is also a great option for adding variety and avoiding flavor fatigue during long events.
A compact 67 g format for high-carb strategies
With 45 g of carbs in a 67 g sachet, Veloforte Limon provides a high energy concentration in an easy-to-carry format.
This feature helps reduce the number of gels needed to reach a given carb target.
For example, a strategy of 90 g of carbs per hour can be achieved with just 2 Limon gels, compared with 3 gels, each containing 30 g of carbs.
Fewer sachets to carry also means less packaging to handle during the race.
Practical packaging with an attached tab
Veloforte has equipped Limon with an opening system Tear-and-Save.
This design keeps the tab attached to the sachet after opening, helping limit small pieces of litter that could be left along the course.
A practical detail during trail, running, or cycling events, where every move counts.
How to consume Veloforte Lemon energy gel?
Start fueling early
Veloforte recommends starting your energy intake before energy levels start to drop.
The frequency of intake should then be adjusted to your carb target, the intensity, and the duration of the effort.
Adjust the number of gels to your goal
| Strategy |
Consumption |
Intake |
| Moderate intake |
1 gel per hour |
45 g of carbs/h |
| High intake |
2 gels per hour |
90 g of carbohydrates/h |
Veloforte also mentions taking one every 20 to 30 minutes depending on your needs. With 45 g of carbohydrates per gel, this amounts to 90 to 135 g of carbohydrates per hour : a high amount, which should be reserved for athletes who have prepared and tested such a strategy.
Intake frequency should therefore be determined based on all the energy products consumed.
Can Veloforte Limon be diluted in a bottle?
Yes. Veloforte states that its gels can be fully diluted in water.
It is therefore possible to add up to 2 Limon gels in a bottle to make a natural energy drink.
This preparation provides:
-
90 g of carbohydrates
-
440 mg of sodium
This method is particularly useful for athletes who prefer to sip their energy gradually rather than consume several gels directly.
The amount of water can be adjusted to achieve the desired concentration and meet hydration needs.
Gradually accustoming your digestive system to high intakes
High-carbohydrate nutrition strategies require some preparation.
Veloforte recommends gradually increasing carbohydrate intake during training, especially when the goal exceeds 60 to 90 g of carbohydrates per hour.
This digestive training, often called gut training, allows you to test different quantities, intake frequencies and product combinations before an important competition.
It is therefore best to validate your strategy during long training sessions rather than trying a new carbohydrate source on race day.
Varying gels to avoid flavour fatigue
Veloforte Limon can also be combined with other energy products from the brand, including:
-
Veloforte Rosso, another natural energy gel;
-
other Veloforte energy gels;
-
Veloforte energy chews, such as Fresco Lemon & Mint.
Alternating formats and flavours helps vary the experience during prolonged efforts while maintaining a consistent carbohydrate strategy.
