If you find yourself running low on energy mid-session, High 5 Energy Gel is like a quick recharge for your body. No caffeine, just pure fuel for your muscles, keeping you strong and consistent when you need it most.
Who it’s for:
Perfect for runners, cyclists, triathletes – or anyone needing a quick energy boost during workouts, races, or long training sessions.
What it does:
Delivers 23g of fast-absorbing carbs to refuel energy stores, with a smooth texture that’s easy on the stomach and won’t weigh you down.
How I would use it:
Tear open a sachet 10-15 minutes before starting exercise, then up to three per hour as needed – squeeze into your mouth as you run or ride. No water required, but easy to sip alongside if you like.
The Science:
Effects of Energy Gel Ingestion on Blood Glucose, Lactate and Performance Measures During Prolonged Cycling
Study: A randomised crossover trial in trained cyclists comparing gel ingestion schedules (before and during exercise) and their impact on blood glucose, lactate levels, and 15-minute time-trial performance.
Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research (2021)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31977833/
Regular ingestion of energy gel every 30-45 minutes helped maintain blood glucose and significantly improved cycling performance compared to no gel. This supports using HIGH5 Energy Gel during prolonged effort for sustained energy and improved outcomes.
A Review of Carbohydrate Supplementation Strategies for Endurance Performance
Study: A comprehensive review of carbohydrate types – including multi‑carbohydrate gels – on endurance athletes, focusing on digestion, glycemic response, GI tolerance, and sustained performance.
Nutrients Journal (2025)

Combining glucose syrup and maltodextrin – as in HIGH5 gel – enhances carbohydrate absorption while minimising digestive discomfort, offering stable fuel delivery that supports endurance exercise.
