Science
Explore all the scientific advantages provided by G5 Performance Fuel — and all the ways in which it is formulated to enhance energy production during exercise.
Why Use Our Products?
Quick
Energy
Powered by three separate chains of carbs: glucose, fructose, and tapioca maltodextrin, our formula delivers instant energy, enhances carb absorption through multiple transport pathways, and provides sustained fuel for lasting performance.
Reduced Digestive Distress
By using multiple carbohydrate transporters (SGLT1 and GLUT5), our formula allows your body to efficiently absorb more carbs.
We've also eliminated common additives like gellan gum, xanthan gum, artificial colors, MCT oil, artificial flavors, and excess preservatives, while adding purple sea moss to help support the gut lining.
Enhanced
Endurance
Our product supports ATP production in the muscles. This allows you to become more efficient at utilizing oxygen and energy, which improves your cardiovascular health and VOâ‚‚ max while reducing stress during intense endurance training.
1:0.8:1
Optimal Carb Ratio
Unlike traditional formulas that rely on a single carbohydrate transporter, G5 Performance Fuel features a scientifically backed 1:0.8:1 glucose-to-fructose-to-maltodextrin ratio. By utilizing both the SGLT1 and GLUT5 transporters, this blend increases carbohydrate absorption, delivers more fuel to working muscles, and helps sustain performance during prolonged exercise. Zero crashes afterward.
Under the
Microscope
View how G5 is formed on a microscopic level.
Glucose
As a simple sugar, glucose is easily and quickly absorbed by the body, providing a rapid increase in blood sugar levels, and 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 when needed.
Matcha + Cordyceps
Matcha, with its 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 has a distinctive structure made up of elongated, branching fibers that resemble a delicate network.
Glucose + Cordyceps + Seamoss + Matcha
The combination of glucose, cordyceps, seamoss, and matcha creates 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. Sea moss adds valuable nutrients and minerals, further supporting overall well-being and providing a holistic boost to the G5 formula.
​What Happens To Your Body During Prolonged Training?
01
Dehydration
Exercising without adequate water or electrolyte replenishment can lead to dehydration. Your body loses water through sweat during exercise, which can cause symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and decreased performance.
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.
02
Increased Fatigue
Without carbs as a quick fuel source during prolonged training sessions, your blood sugar can drop as glycogen stores become depleted, leading to decreased endurance and earlier fatigue, also known as bonking.
04
Brain Fog
When engaged in intense physical activity, your body uses glucose as an energy source for the brain and liver, as well as the rest of the body. Without maintaining stable blood sugar levels to ensure a steady supply of glucose to the brain and liver, you may experience decreased focus, mental alertness, and concentration.
A Message From Our Founder
The evolution of energy gels over the past three decades has significantly improved their formulation and effectiveness for endurance athletes. Researchers have focused on optimizing carbohydrate types and ratios, resulting in better absorption rates and a more balanced release of energy.
​
Incorporating sodium chloride has become an important part of sports fueling, 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.
