Why VFuel Drink Mix
Hydration and fuel. One packet.
190 kcal per Pack
Each pack delivers 190 calories of dextrose-based carbohydrate energy dissolved into a drinkable format that's easy to consume continuously during activity.†
730 mg Sodium — Lineup High
The highest sodium level in the VFuel Drink Mix lineup. Raspberry Lemonade is formulated with a higher electrolyte concentration, designed for athletes in conditions where sweat rate and mineral replacement are a priority.
Real Lemon Juice Powder
The lemon-forward tartness comes from concentrated Lemon Juice Powder — not solely from citric acid or artificial flavoring. This contributes to the clean, natural citrus character that holds up across repeated sipping. *Contains trace fructose from lemon juice. See disclaimer.
Caffeine-Free
VFuel Drink Mix is caffeine-free across all three flavors. Combine with VFuel Endurance Gels to add caffeine selectively at planned points, keeping your hydration source consistent throughout.
No Added Fructose*
No high-fructose corn syrup, no added fruit sugar. Dextrose is the primary carbohydrate source. Lemon Juice Powder contributes a trace amount of naturally occurring fructose inherent to the fruit. *See disclaimer below.
Amino Acid Complex†
L-Citrulline, L-Ornithine, and Taurine are included alongside the electrolyte and carbohydrate base, consistent with the full VFuel endurance formula approach.
Sodium per pack — how Raspberry Lemonade compares
Usage Guide
When to reach for Raspberry Lemonade.
Hot Weather & High-Sweat Events
730 mg of sodium per pack makes Raspberry Lemonade the most electrolyte-concentrated flavor in the lineup — designed for conditions where mineral replacement is a primary concern.
Long Runs & Ultra Events
The sweet-tart raspberry-lemon profile is one of the most consistently well-tolerated across long efforts. Use continuously as your hydration source, supplementing with VFuel gels as needed.
Cycling & Gravel
Prepare in your bottle before a ride. The bright fruit flavor provides a clean contrast to the neutral taste of water, helping athletes maintain consistent drinking habits over long durations.
Triathlon & Multi-Sport
High sodium content makes this well-suited for the bike leg of a triathlon, where sweat rate is typically highest and electrolyte intake is most critical.
Preparation & Timing
More water = lower concentration and easier drinking. Less water = higher sodium and calorie density per sip. Adjust based on your sweat rate and conditions.
Transparency
Everything in the pack, and why.
Raspberry Lemonade achieves its highest-in-lineup sodium level primarily through Sodium Bicarbonate at 4.00% w/w — double the amount in Ginger Twist. Lemon Juice Powder at 4.51% w/w provides the natural citrus character alongside Citric Acid. Dextrose at 82.31% w/w is the primary carbohydrate source.

What's not in the pack.
No Added Fructose*
No high-fructose corn syrup, no added fruit sugar. Dextrose is the primary carbohydrate source. Lemon Juice Powder contributes a trace amount of naturally occurring fructose inherent to lemon fruit — the only fructose source in this formula. *See disclaimer below.
No Caffeine
All VFuel Drink Mix flavors are caffeine-free. Add VFuel Endurance Gels selectively for caffeine, keeping your hydration source clean and predictable throughout your event.
No Artificial Sweeteners
Sweetness comes from dextrose only — not aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame-K, or stevia.
No Gluten
Formulated without gluten-containing ingredients. Consult your physician if you have celiac disease.
*Fructose-free: Raspberry Lemonade contains no added fructose. Lemon Juice Powder contributes a trace amount of naturally occurring fructose inherent to the fruit. Athletes with severe fructose intolerance should consult a dietitian or physician before use. † These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

FAQ
Common questions.
The label recommends 20–26 oz (600–750 ml) per packet. More water makes the drink more dilute and easier to drink in quantity — better for hot conditions or high sweat rates. Less water increases the sodium and calorie concentration per sip. Start at 24 oz and adjust based on your conditions and taste preference. Given the higher sodium level of Raspberry Lemonade, some athletes prefer slightly more water to keep the flavor bright without tasting overly salty.
VFuel Drink Mix is formulated with a higher electrolyte concentration across all flavors, reflecting a design priority around meaningful mineral replacement during sustained efforts. Raspberry Lemonade in particular uses Sodium Bicarbonate at 4.00% w/w — double the amount in Ginger Twist — which is the primary driver of the higher sodium level. The three-sodium-source formula (Salt, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Bicarbonate) distributes the load across different ionic forms to help balance flavor alongside function.
No fructose is added to Raspberry Lemonade. Lemon Juice Powder — used for flavoring — contains a trace amount of naturally occurring fructose inherent to lemon fruit. This is not added fructose and represents a very small fraction of the total formula. Athletes with severe fructose malabsorption or hereditary fructose intolerance should consult a dietitian or physician before use.
Yes — the drink mix and gels are designed to work together. The drink mix provides continuous carbohydrate and electrolyte intake through hydration; adding a gel every 45–60 minutes brings additional calories and the amino acid complex. Combined, they can help you approach the 60–90g/hr carbohydrate intake range studied for events over 2 hours. Both use dextrose-based carbohydrate sources, so they stack without fructose concerns from the carbohydrate side.
All three VFuel drink mix flavors use the same dextrose-based carbohydrate and amino acid formula. Raspberry Lemonade stands out for its highest sodium level (730 mg) and its use of real Lemon Juice Powder for a natural citrus character. The sweet-tart profile is the most universally familiar of the three — a natural starting point for athletes new to the VFuel Drink Mix lineup.
Yes. Mix in your bottle before your activity and store in the refrigerator if preparing more than 30 minutes ahead. Once mixed, consume within 24 hours for best taste. The higher citric acid content in Raspberry Lemonade means the drink is slightly more tart when cold — adjust water volume to preference.
