Press Reviews
Energy Gel is a fact acting high carb' gel with a smooth texture. It was the first gel to be flavoured with real fruit juice for a fresh taste. Its not thick or overly sweet and it's exceptionally easy on the stomach. Energy Gel has been race-proven in the world's toughest events. Energy Gel Plus also contains 30mg caffeine. When used correctly and in moderate doses, caffeine can increase the speed of carbohydrate absorption. It also acts as a stimulant, reducing the perception of fatigue while increase focus and concentration.

High 5 Energy Gel Orange - Much like running long distances this energy gel requires one thing it would seem: practice. Knowing you are about to ingest sea-salt, for instance, is never going to be particularly easy on the mind, but the body appreciates the orange-flavoured, sugary content and will reward you by moving your legs faster, for longer. Placebo or not it seemed to do the job.

This is a pleasantly simple, no-nonsense gel formula with a relatively average carbohydrate (23g) and sodium content (42mg). If you're new to gels this could be a good one to start with.
A 6% carbohydrate solution is generally deemed the optimal concentration for the contents to be absorbed into the stomach while limiting any gastro intestinal (GI) discomfort. When taken with 500ml of water this will bring the product to 4.4%, which is one of the lowest here and less risky on the stomach.
This gel is free flowing, and provides an instantly noticeable zing, but after taking it with water this is hardly noticeable. Rating - 7
