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. Mountain Berry is formulated to be well-tolerated across long training days and race conditions. *Excluding trace amounts from cranberry juice, blueberry 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
Magnesium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, and Sodium Citrate 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 Mountain Berry.
Long Runs (60+ min)
The sweet-tart berry profile naturally counteracts palate fatigue — a go-to for athletes who find sweeter gels cloying after the first hour.
Cycling & Gravel
Easy to consume on the move. The berry tartness works well alongside plain water, making hydration timing more intuitive.
Trail & Ultra Running
Fruity, bright flavors are among the most consistently tolerated in ultra events. Mountain Berry is designed for exactly this — miles 30 and beyond.
Flavor Rotation Strategy
Pair with Cool Citrus or Maple Bacon to rotate flavors across a long race and reduce the risk of any single flavor becoming unappetizing.
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.
Mountain Berry gets its flavor from concentrated cranberry and blueberry juices — real fruit sources, not synthetic berry flavoring. Like all VFuel formulas, every ingredient is selected for a specific performance or palatability role.

What's not in the pack.
No Added Fructose*
No high-fructose corn syrup, no added fruit sugar. Fructose is present only as a trace amount naturally occurring in the concentrated cranberry and blueberry juices used for flavoring. *Excluding trace amounts from cranberry juice, blueberry juice, and natural flavors.
No Artificial Sweeteners
Sweetness comes from glucose, maltodextrin, and the fruit juice concentrates — not aspartame, sucralose, or stevia.
No Artificial Colors
The characteristic berry color comes from anthocyanins naturally present in cranberry and blueberry concentrates. 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: Mountain Berry contains no added fructose. Concentrated cranberry juice and concentrated blueberry juice each contribute 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 formulas share the same carbohydrate base (maltodextrin + glucose), MCT Oil, and amino acid complex. The key difference is flavor source and sodium level: Mountain Berry uses concentrated cranberry and blueberry juices and contains 13mg of sodium per pack, compared to Cool Citrus at 42mg (which uses more Sodium Citrate). Mountain Berry's sweet-tart profile suits athletes who prefer a fruit-forward flavor over a citrus-forward one, and works well as part of a rotation strategy.
No fructose is added to Mountain Berry. Concentrated cranberry juice and concentrated blueberry juice — used for flavoring — each contain a naturally occurring trace amount of fructose inherent to the fruit. No high-fructose corn syrup or added fruit sugar is used. Athletes with severe fructose malabsorption or hereditary fructose intolerance should consult a dietitian or physician before use.
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.
Mountain Berry 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 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.
