Veloforte Rosso – Natural Raspberry Energy Gel, 30 g of Carbohydrates
A natural raspberry energy gel for endurance sports
The Veloforte Rosso is a natural raspberry energy gel, designed to support athletes during demanding training sessions and endurance competitions. Its formula combines 30 g of dual-source carbohydrates and 150 mg of sodium in a compact 45 g.
Made with real raspberries and naturally sourced ingredients, Rosso stands out for its fruity, refreshing flavor, with no artificial flavors or maltodextrin.
Designed for runners, trail runners, cyclists, and triathletes, this gel makes it easy to build a nutrition strategy for 60 to 90 g of carbohydrates per hour, while enjoying a variety of flavors during prolonged exercise.
30 g of dual-source carbohydrates to fuel your effort
Each Veloforte Rosso provides 30 g of carbohydrates, from two complementary sources: glucose and fructose.
These carbohydrates come from real fruit juices and use distinct intestinal absorption pathways.
This combination is particularly useful for athletes who want to structure their intake during prolonged exercise and maintain a regular fueling schedule.

With its 30 g of carbohydrates per gel, Rosso makes it easy to calculate the amounts needed based on the duration and intensity of the activity and digestive tolerance.
150 mg of sodium to support hydration
The Veloforte Rosso also provides 150 mg of sodium per gel, from Himalayan pink salt.
During exercise, sweating leads to water and electrolyte losses, particularly sodium.
This intake helps complement a hydration strategy, especially during long rides, competitions, or sessions in hot conditions.

A natural recipe with real raspberries
What makes Veloforte Rosso energy gel lies in its formula made with real fruit.
Veloforte uses real raspberries, not artificial flavors, for a fruity, slightly tart and refreshing taste.
The brand also highlights a recipe that is:
This formula offers an alternative to conventional energy gels, with a focus on natural ingredients.
A raspberry flavor to add variety to your fueling
During prolonged efforts, repeatedly consuming very sweet gels can lead to flavor fatigue.
With its natural raspberry flavor, Veloforte Rosso offers a fruity, refreshing note that is especially welcome as the kilometers add up.
Its texture and flavor are designed to make it easy to consume during training and competitions.
Rosso can be used on its own or alternated with other energy gel flavors to add variety to your fueling.
A compact, easy-to-carry 45 g format
The Veloforte Rosso provides 30 g of carbohydrates in a sachet weighing just 45 g.
This concentrated formula lets you carry a substantial amount of carbohydrates without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.
Its compact format fits easily into:
-
a cycling jersey pocket;
-
a trail vest;
-
a running belt;
-
a hydration pack;
-
a bike bag.
A practical solution for athletes who want to plan their fueling precisely during competitions.
How should you consume Veloforte Rosso energy gel?
One serving every 20 to 30 minutes
Veloforte recommends consuming 1 gel every 20 to 30 minutes during exercise, depending on energy needs and the nutrition strategy chosen.
This corresponds to an intake of 60 to 90 g of carbohydrates per hour.

The amount should be adapted to the duration and intensity of the effort, as well as other sources of carbohydrates consumed.
Veloforte also recommends start refuelling early enough, before an energy dip occurs.
Can Veloforte Rosso be diluted in a bottle?
Yes. Veloforte says its energy gels can be fully diluted in water.
The brand notably suggests adding up to 3 Rosso gels in a bottle to prepare a natural energy drink.
This preparation provides:
-
90 g of carbohydrates
-
450 mg of sodium
This method is particularly useful for athletes who prefer to gradually consume their carbohydrates in liquid form rather than directly from the sachets.
The amount of water can be adjusted to suit the desired concentration and hydration needs.
Gradually train your digestive tolerance
High-carbohydrate nutrition strategies require appropriate preparation.
Veloforte notably recommends gradually increasing the quantities consumed during training when the target exceeds 90 g of carbohydrates per hour.
This practice, called gut training or gut training, allows you to test different intake amounts and consumption schedules before a competition.
Even with a natural recipe, digestive tolerance varies from person to person. It is therefore best to validate your nutrition plan during training rather than trying new quantities on race day.
