ARE THERE ANY ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS IN HIGH5 PRODUCTS?

HIGH5 try to use natural ingredients where this is possible. All our products contain natural flavours, and we do not use artificial sweeteners like aspartame or acesulfame. The only products to contain any artificial sweetener is ZERO, which contains sucralose.

SHOULD I TRY OUT THE PRODUCTS BEFORE MY EVENT RACE DAY?

It is always best to trial products and your fuelling strategy before race day as you have time to adjust it to work best for you. Try to simulate the race day conditions, distance and setup, if possible.

WILL ZERO HELP FUEL ME OVER 2 HOURS?

ZERO is perfect for hydration and re-hydration. It is an electrolyte drink with zero calories and zero sugar, therefore not designed to be a fuelling product.
If you wish to take on fuel for exercise over 2 hours then our carbohydrate and electrolyte drinks would be better suited for you needs.

CAN I MIX ZERO WITH OTHER PRODUCTS?

ZERO Neutral was designed to be mixed with other products. Whether that’s your favourite supermarket drink (to make it into a sports drink) or an existing sports drink (to increase the electrolyte content) you’ve got free range to partner it with anything you like!

SHOULD I USE ENERGY GEL OR ENERGY GEL AQUA?

There is no right or wrong answer: they both do the same job; it’s simply down to personal preference. Energy Gel Aqua has a lighter consistency - somewhere between a drink and a gel. Whereas Energy Gel is less bulky and lighter in weight, which makes it easier to carry in larger quantities.

CAN I MIX THE DRINKS THE NIGHT BEFORE?

HIGH5 drinks do not contain any preservatives so should be consumed soon after mixing. If you mix it the night before, we recommend storing the mixed drink in the fridge overnight.
