High5 Energy Gel Aqua Orange, almost drinkable
An energy gel with the consistency of a sip of sports drink: 23 grams of carbohydrates in a 66-gram sachet. Not a thick gel that requires water, but a watery version with a fresh orange flavor that you can drink in one go. For runners and cyclists who find classic gels difficult to swallow.
Why Aqua is thinner than a regular gel
The difference lies in the amount of water. The regular Energy Gel packs 23 grams of carbohydrates into 40 grams; the Aqua packs the same carbohydrates into 66 grams, making the texture more like a sports drink. This means you can take it without water, even deep into a race when chewing and swallowing becomes difficult. The energy comes from glucose syrup and maltodextrin, with real fruit juice for flavor. Each gel also contains vitamin B6, which contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
23 grams of carbohydrates, and how to use them
As a guideline, use 1 to 3 gels per hour, depending on duration and intensity. For efforts up to two hours, 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour is common; those who continue for longer combine the gel with a sports drink bottle or a bar to reach 60 to 90 grams per hour. Test your regimen during training, then you will know exactly what your stomach prefers.
Orange and the other Aqua variants
Orange is fresh and fruity, easy to drink at any point in your ride. The Aqua line is also available as Berry and as Aqua Caffeine with 30 mg of caffeine per gel. Every energy gel in this line is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and contains no artificial sweeteners or colorings.
HIGH5 has been making sports nutrition for endurance athletes since 1994; this energy gel is the answer for anyone who has ever struggled with a dry, sticky gel halfway through a race.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many gels can I use per hour?
One to three per hour, depending on duration and intensity. One gel provides 23 grams of carbohydrates; for long or intense sessions, combine the gel with a sports drink or a bar to reach 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. Build this up during training, so your stomach gets used to it.
What is the difference with the regular Energy Gel?
The same 23 grams of carbohydrates, but the Aqua comes in a 66-gram sachet instead of 40 grams. That extra water makes the texture thin and drinkable, so you don't need water when consuming it. The regular gel is more compact and lighter to carry.
Is this gel heavy on the stomach?
Thanks to its watery consistency, the gel is easy to drink. Everyone reacts differently; always test your plan during training first.
Is the gel vegan and what are its ingredients?
Yes, the gel is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is water-based with glucose syrup and maltodextrin, flavoured with real fruit juice concentrate and supplemented with vitamin B6. It contains no artificial sweeteners or colourings.
Does this gel contain caffeine?
No, this Aqua is caffeine-free. If you want the same watery gel with caffeine, choose the Energy Gel Aqua Caffeine: identical base plus 30 mg of caffeine per sachet.
