High5 Energy Gel Electrolyte Tropical with electrolytes
An energy gel that does two things at once: 23 grams of carbohydrates for energy, plus sodium, potassium, magnesium and chloride to replace what you sweat out. The tropical variant with mango, lime and pineapple is made for long, warm days on the bike or on your feet.
Carbohydrates and electrolytes in a sachet
The energy comes from a mix of glucose syrup, maltodextrin and sucrose. In addition, each 60-gram gel contains 57 mg of magnesium and 0.22 grams of salt, as well as potassium. Magnesium contributes to normal electrolyte balance, and the added vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. In short: fuel and minerals from a sachet, without having to carry a separate electrolyte drink.
For long, warm workouts
Especially on warm days, you lose more than just fluids through sweat. Use a maximum of three of these gels per hour, and fewer if you are also drinking a sports drink that already contains electrolytes. The gel pairs well with the regular Energy Gel and the Caffeine variants within the same nutrition plan. Test your plan in training before applying it in a race.
Tropical and the rest of the Electrolyte range
Tropical combines mango, lime and pineapple into a fruity flavour that stays refreshing in the heat. The Electrolyte range is also available as Raspberry. Every HIGH5 energy gel is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and contains no artificial sweeteners or colourings.
HIGH5 has been making sports nutrition for endurance athletes since 1994; this is the gel for the days when the sun is working just as hard as you are.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference with the regular Energy Gel?
Two things: the added electrolytes and the carbohydrate blend. This gel combines glucose syrup and maltodextrin with sucrose, and weighs 60 instead of 40 grams. The amount of carbohydrates is the same: 23 grams per sachet.
How many of these gels can I take per hour?
A maximum of three per hour, and less if you're also drinking an electrolyte sports drink. This prevents you from unknowingly double-dosing on electrolytes.
Does this gel replace an electrolyte drink?
Partially. For most workouts, the combination of this gel with water is fine; during long, hot efforts, an electrolyte drink or a ZERO tablet in your bottle remains a logical addition. The gel is especially useful when you want to take energy and minerals with you all at once.
Is this gel vegan?
Yes, suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The flavour comes from real fruit juice concentrate and the gel contains no artificial sweeteners or colourings.
Does this gel contain caffeine?
No, the Electrolyte Gel is caffeine-free. If you want caffeine in the same range, combine it with the Energy Gel Caffeine or Aqua Caffeine, each with 30 mg of caffeine per sachet.
