Why VFuel

Designed for the long haul.

Fast, Sustained Energy

Maltodextrin and glucose deliver rapid carbohydrate energy through dual absorption pathways, designed to support steady output throughout extended efforts — not just the first 30 minutes.†

MCT Oil Included

Medium-chain triglycerides are included alongside carbohydrate sources, providing a fat-based energy substrate that metabolizes differently from long-chain dietary fats. Vanilla's richer texture and slightly higher calorie count (130 kcal) reflect a fuller MCT-based formulation.

Amino Acid Complex†

Every pack contains L-Citrulline, L-Ornithine, and Taurine — amino acids studied for their roles in endurance performance, circulation support, and post-exercise recovery processes.

No Added Fructose

No high-fructose corn syrup, no added fruit sugar. Vanilla contains no fruit juice concentrates — making it the cleanest fructose-free option in the VFuel lineup.

Electrolyte Support

Magnesium Chloride and Potassium Chloride are included to help replace key minerals lost through sweat during prolonged activity.

Made in Japan

Every batch is manufactured in Japan under strict quality standards, with a 24-month shelf life. Clean production from source to pack.

Usage Guide

When to reach for Vanilla.

Night Runs & Long Efforts

The rich, neutral flavor is particularly well-suited for night-time events or extended efforts when sweet or acidic flavors can become harder to tolerate.

Ultra Running

At 130 kcal per pack, Vanilla provides slightly more energy per unit than our citrus-based gels — useful when calorie density matters across very long days.

Cycling & Gravel

The creamy texture holds up well at varying temperatures. Pairs cleanly with water or alongside VFuel Drink Mix for a complete fueling strategy.

Flavor Rotation Strategy

Rotate with Cool Citrus or Mountain Berry across a long race. Vanilla's neutral profile makes it an ideal palate reset between more assertive flavors.

Endurance Gels Vanilla

Suggested Timing

15–30 min before
Take one pack pre-activity to prime carbohydrate availability.
Every 45–60 min
Repeat throughout activity. Adjust to effort level and individual tolerance.
Always with water
Follow each gel with 4–8 oz of water to support absorption.

Target 30–60g of carbohydrates per hour during sustained efforts. Pair with VFuel Drink Mix to reach higher intake targets on long race days.

Transparency

Everything in the pack, and why.

Vanilla is the richest formula in the VFuel lineup. A fuller MCT-based formulation creates a more substantial texture and a slightly higher calorie count — 130 kcal versus 114 kcal in Cool Citrus or Mountain Berry. No fruit juices are used, making this the simplest fructose profile in the range.

Full Ingredient Statement (FDA Order)

Maltodextrin, Dextrose, Water, Edible Coconut Oil, MCT Oil (Medium-Chain Triglycerides), Natural & Artificial Flavor, L-Taurine, L-Ornithine Hydrochloride, Emulsifier (Sucrose Fatty Acid Ester), Magnesium Chloride, L-Citrulline, Potassium Chloride, Salt (Sodium Chloride), Caffeine.

Maltodextrin
Primary Fuel
The primary carbohydrate source at 70% w/w — slightly higher than in Cool Citrus or Mountain Berry, contributing to the higher calorie count per pack.
Dextrose
Fast Energy
Simple sugar absorbed directly and rapidly. Combined with maltodextrin to provide immediate plus sustained carbohydrate energy across an effort.
MCT Oil
Fat Substrate
Medium-chain triglycerides metabolize more rapidly than long-chain dietary fats, providing a fat-based energy substrate alongside the carbohydrate base. Vanilla's formulation delivers a richer texture and slightly higher calorie count (130 kcal per pack) compared to the citrus-based gels.
L-Citrulline
Amino Acid
Precursor to arginine, which plays a role in nitric oxide production and circulatory function. Studied in endurance contexts for potential to support blood flow during exercise.†
L-Ornithine
Amino Acid
Involved in the urea cycle, which plays a role in clearing ammonia — a metabolic byproduct that accumulates during prolonged exertion.†
Taurine
Amino Acid
A conditionally essential amino acid associated with cellular hydration, electrolyte balance, and antioxidant functions during exercise stress.†
Magnesium Chloride
Electrolyte
Magnesium supports over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those involved in energy metabolism and muscle contraction. Losses through sweat are significant during long efforts.
Caffeine
Stimulant · 11 mg
At 11 mg per pack, a conservative dose roughly equivalent to a small sip of coffee. Designed to complement, not dominate, your fueling strategy.

FAQ

Common questions.

The three formulas share the same maltodextrin-glucose carbohydrate base, amino acid complex, and MCT Oil. Vanilla stands out for its richer texture and higher calorie count (130 kcal vs 114 kcal), achieved through a fuller MCT-based formulation. It also contains no fruit juice concentrates — making its fructose profile the simplest in the VFuel lineup.

We strongly recommend consuming each gel with 4–8 oz (120–240 ml) of water. Water helps dilute the concentrated carbohydrates, supports absorption across the intestinal wall, and keeps the formula from sitting heavily in your stomach. Taking gels without water during exercise is a common cause of gastrointestinal distress.

Vanilla contains approximately 11 mg of caffeine per pack — a conservative amount, roughly comparable to a small sip of coffee. If you need more caffeine support at a specific point in your race, Cafe Mocha contains approximately 32 mg per pack.

Yes — VFuel gels and drink mixes are designed to complement each other. The drink mix provides approximately 190 kcal per pack with high-concentration electrolytes; combining with a gel every 45–60 minutes can help you meet the 60–90 g/hr carbohydrate targets recommended for events lasting over 2 hours. Both products use non-fructose carbohydrate sources, so they stack cleanly.
