Glucose
As a simple sugar, glucose is easily and quickly absorbed by the body, and provides a rapid increase in blood sugar levels, supplying the necessary fuel for physical activity.
Its versatility and effectiveness make glucose the perfect base for energy gels, ensuring a quick and reliable boost of energy whenever it is needed.
Matcha + Cordyceps
Matcha, with the highest EGCG antioxidant content and natural caffeine, provides a sustained boost of energy while Cordyceps, known for its adaptogenic properties, supports endurance and helps combat both mental and physical fatigue during training. Matcha exhibits unique vibrant green particles that are rich in antioxidants and catechins. Cordyceps presents itself as elongated and branching hyphae, resembling a delicate network.
Glucose + Cordyceps + Seamoss + Matcha
The combination of glucose, cordyceps, seamoss, and matcha yields a potent and synergistic effect. Glucose acts as a readily available source of instant energy, while cordyceps and matcha contribute their adaptogenic properties, enhancing endurance and promoting focus. Seamoss adds valuable nutrients and minerals, further supporting overall well-being and providing a holistic boost to the G5 formula.
​What Happens To The Body During A Prolonged Training Session?
01
Dehydration
Exercising without water or electrolyte replenishment can result in dehydration. Your body loses water through sweat when you exercise. This can cause symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and decreased performance.
02
Increased Fatigue
Without G5's carbohydrates that provide a quick fuel source during prolonged training session, blood sugar imbalance can cause your body to run out of glycogen stores, leading to decreased endurance and fatigue earlier in your workout, also known as bonking.
03
Increased Muscle Soreness
G5 Performance Fuel contains electrolytes. Without these crucial minerals to maintain proper hydration and support muscle function, increased muscle soreness and longer muscle recovery time can result.
04
Brain Fog
When engaging in intense physical activity, the body utilizes glucose as an energy source for the body as well as the brain and liver. Without maintaining stable blood sugar levels to ensure a steady supply of glucose to your brain and liver, the brain can decrease focus, mental alertness, and concentration.
A Message From Our Founder
The evolution of energy gels over the past three decades has significantly enhanced their formulation and effectiveness for endurance athletes. Researchers have focused on optimizing carbohydrate types and ratios, resulting in better absorption rates and a balanced release of energy.
​
Incorporating sodium chloride has become essential, as studies highlight its importance for fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle performance. Additionally, advancements in sports science have introduced specialized ingredients like cordyceps, offering extra cognitive and cardiovascular support. As R&D progresses at G5 Performance Fuel, we can anticipate even more tailored formulations that meet the diverse needs of athletes, further enhancing their endurance.
