Why aren’t you guys just making your own gels?
I bought 4 x High 5 bottles from Amazon and then I do the following:
200g Fructose
400g Maltodextrin
400g water
2 tablespoons (10g) of citric acid
2 tablespoons (10g of citrus aroma)
1g caffein-stick (might not be suitable for everyone but it’s fine for me)
Heat the water to an almost boil and stir in the sugars. Stir until resolved and take it of the pan.
Transfer the gel to a drink bottle (approx 1000g / 1 litre) when it cools and stick it in the refrigerator.
It’s a pretty fluid drink mix and I calculate it to 35ml / serving just as Clif has in their servings.
That amounts to 280kcal/70g carbs with 35g of sugar.
EDIT: If you’re looking for the same kind of thicker gel as Clif has then add between 200-300g of water instead of 400g.
