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.†
No Added Fructose*
No high-fructose corn syrup, no added fruit sugar. Cool Citrus is formulated to be well-tolerated across long training days and race conditions. *Excluding trace amounts from lemon juice and natural flavors.
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.
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.
Electrolyte Support
Sodium Citrate, 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 Cool Citrus.
Long Runs (60+ min)
The clean citrus flavor is designed to stay palatable over repeated servings — ideal when flavor fatigue is a concern.
Cycling & Gravel
Easy to consume on the move. Works well alongside VFuel Drink Mix for a complete in-ride fueling strategy.
Trail & Ultra Running
Lemon-forward flavor is refreshing in warm conditions. Low gut load supports digestion during very long efforts.
Triathlon
Take pre-swim or on the bike leg. Pairs cleanly with water during the run portion.
Suggested Timing
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.
VFuel uses a short, purposeful ingredient list. Every component is selected for a specific performance or palatability role — nothing added for appearance or margin padding.

What's not in the pack.
No Added Fructose*
No high-fructose corn syrup, no added fruit sugar. The only fructose present is from concentrated lemon juice — a trace amount inherent to the fruit itself. *Excluding trace amounts from lemon juice and natural flavors.
No Artificial Sweeteners
Sweetness comes from glucose and maltodextrin — not aspartame, sucralose, or stevia.
No Artificial Colors
Color comes from the ingredients themselves. No FD&C dyes or synthetic colorants.
No Gluten
Formulated without gluten-containing ingredients. Produced in a facility that processes other food items — consult your physician if you have celiac disease.
*Fructose-free: Cool Citrus contains no added fructose. Concentrated lemon juice 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. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
FAQ
Common questions.
Most mainstream gels use a maltodextrin + fructose blend. VFuel Cool Citrus is formulated without added fructose, using maltodextrin and glucose instead. It also includes MCT Oil as a fat-based energy substrate, and a full amino acid complex (Citrulline, Ornithine, Taurine) that many gels omit. The result is a more complete endurance formula in a single packet.
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.
Cool Citrus contains approximately 11 mg of caffeine per pack — a conservative amount, roughly comparable to a small sip of coffee. This is intentionally low to allow you to stack multiple gels without accumulating a high caffeine load. If you need more caffeine support, Cafe Mocha contains approximately 32 mg per pack.
VFuel does not add fructose to its formula. However, concentrated lemon juice — used for flavoring in Cool Citrus — contains trace amounts of fructose inherent to citrus fruit. Athletes with severe fructose malabsorption or hereditary fructose intolerance should consult a dietitian or physician before use.
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.
