Review of G-Fuel

Introduction

The Official Energy Drink of Esports, G-Fuel Energy Formula by Gamma Labs, was first created in 2012 and rapidly became an online sensation among the gaming community. G-Fuel is now the energy drink of choice for the world's best esports players, with some influencers creating their custom G-Fuel flavours, and is available in over 125 countries. G-Fuel's powdered version comes in sugar-free varieties, has just 25 calories per serving, and is packed with vitamins and antioxidants from 19 different fruit extracts.

Review
G-Fuel is very popular among the e-sports community for many reasons; Gfuel claims to give you endurance, energy and focus. It can be used for workouts, streams or just everyday life to give you that extra energy you need to make it through the day. G-Fuel can be bought in many flavours and many different shaker cups, each with a unique design. I bought 2 tubs of the G-Fuel energy formula and 2 shaker cups. I have bought the Pewdiepie's Lingonberry flavour and the Rainbow Sherbet flavour. They're almost empty now so I have been having it for quite some time now. As for energy, it does give you an unnoticeable amount of what they actually claim.
However, the powders are low in quality. G-Fuel uses a lot of artificial sweeteners and dye and a lot of filler ingredients. The filler ingredients cause to have a powdery texture when mixed with water which gives an almost unnoticeable amount of a bitter aftertaste. Another brand such as Gamersupps that also makes energy formula is better in quality because it is also zero sugar like G-Fuel and does not have filler ingredients. G-Fuel is expensive and only had 30 servings which are 30 scoops. Gamersupps come with 40 servings in a smaller scooper because of no unnecessary ingredients but has a better effect. This goes to show that G-Fuel is certainly tasty and accessible, but they are using manipulative marketing and using proprietary blends to trick people into buying their product.
The scariest part is the concept of "dusting" where they put a tiny bit of each ingredient into the product just so they can put it on the label even though there may be no effect at all.
All these products are not regulated by the FDA. Even if the label had said it had enough of the compound, there is no guarantee it actually does since it's not regulated. LabDoor is a site dedicated to actually testing supplements to see how close they come to the label and if there are any harmful compounds (these cheap supplements are made cheaply). Because the drinks aren't food, they cannot be regulated in the same way. Because of that, the door is wide open for shady business tactics and marketing, and a potentially dangerous product.

I suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome (and by extension insomnia.) I always wake up tired and unable to function normally for hours. I've looked everywhere for some sort of drink to help me concentrate and snap me into a state that I can get work done. I've tried coffee, but it only makes me more tired (caffeine alone does that to me), I've tried store-bought energy drinks, but the carbonation messes with my stomach and doesn't set right with me (plus, they haven't worked). I figured I'd try G-Fuel since I've a lot of Youtubers have shoved it down my throat for the last few years and I'm glad I did!

First I bought Moon Pie-- wasn't a fan of the flavor (tasted like watered down chocolate milk, even when mixed with milk), but the effect it had on my concentration and alertness has done wonders, so I ended up buying several more flavors I've enjoyed all of the others I've bought.

Wumpa Fruit - Love this one. I can't quite put my finger on the flavor, it tastes like apple mixed with another fruit. Not an overly complicated taste and very pleasant.

Strawberry Shortcake - Fantastic in milk, which is really the only way I drink it. I don't recommended this with water at all. In milk, though, it's by far my favorite of the bunch so far! Tastes just like strawberry milk and has all the effects of G-Fuel to boot!

Hype Sauce - It's pretty basic overall, not that that's a bad thing. It's Raspberry Lemonade and tastes as such, not much to add, there.

PewDiePie - I really like this flavor, although I've noticed it leaves an off taste in my mouth. I can deal with that, though, as it isn't so overwhelming that it distracts me from the drink. Once again, though, pretty basic so not much for me to say in regards to the flavor.

Scorpion Sting - Wasn't expecting to like this as I wanted the Sub-Zero version, but really wanted the orange shaker cup over the blue. That said, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't think orange would pair well with spicy (it's not overly spicy, mind you). But I was proven wrong. If there's one critique it's that I can never finish a glass because the added cayenne and some other ingredient never fully dissolve leaving the bottom of the glass being too strong and undrinkable. That said, I can drink enough of it to not be bothered.

It's worth mentioning that the 40 drinks you get out of each tub of G Fuel is far cheaper than buying cans of energy drinks. I tend to pay around $26 a tub with discounts which they almost always have going on. That's about $0.65 a drink, which is a steal if you find one you love. Plus, they're sugar free, which is another point in their favor.

I just ordered three more tubs (Grape, Tropical Rain, and Ice Shatter), and I expect these to be just as good. The variety of flavors is huge, and while a lot of them aren't for me, I feel there is something here for everyone. While I know this is just how it affected me, perhaps it can help those that are looking for a way to focus when they can't. Worth a try just to buy a couple packets for a few drinks to test it out! Of course, you should also drink responsibly.

G-Fuel also finally gave me a use for this spice rack I bought that was far too small for my kitchen, haha.

I love g fuel so much great price, great tasting, and great community I recommend buying GFUEL to gamers or anyone that wants to try!

Shipping is fast and amazing- flavor is consistent and on par- specials and coupons save tons of money- I will ALWAYS be a customer of gfuel

Before buying my first shipment of G Fuel, me and my mom were astonished at the amount of flavors that were on display in the shop and the amount of product options there were. To the point where we were wondering how good could the flavors be and what constitutes the amount of flavors if there were only a few good sellers(based on other companies we tried that had many flavors). However, this wasn't the case after trying about 8 flavors that all gave u quite a bang for your buck so it didn't feel like a waste on something that didnt taste right. When we saw the starter kits that carried seven different flavors and a cool cup design for only $15. We tried it, and were very excited at the results because the flavors were great, they tasted like their title, and the cup was good quality. However, the flat shipping rate could be an issue for how high it is to the target time of shipping, shipping took longer than expected on one of our shipments and it ended up arriving double the time we paid for, without delay warnings or compensation for the shipping cost(but I think longer ship time is a rare occurrence). They only way we found that you could lessen shipping costs was to order gfuel less and in large amounts so we didn't have to pay shipping very often. Other than that, the site puts out discount codes to youtubers and media influencers to share(honey really helps with this), has weekly sales and new releases; and if you make an account with them you will be rewarded xp for every purchase for you to redeem as a discount for other purchases. All these incentivising you to order knowing you will get a good(or great) deal of savings on every shipment(usually 30% off), and in comparison to other energy drink companies, this one is my favorite and is a good pick. In conclusion, they try to make it a consumer friendly experience with their site, their sales, and what you pay for; it's a 9.5\10 for my experience so far and I think it will be great going forward.
P.S. The whole thing about them having noticable lead traces in their gfuel products is false, the company that did the search has been known to be inaccurate with there food product rulings in the past and a youtuber did an experiment by drinking gfuel everyday for a year and drinking it twice the day of the test to see if his lead count increased in that year, the doctor found zero difference to the test he took prior to the experiment and they were normal.

You can always find good deals on their site for various flavors, including BOGO, 10-20% off and more

I been a buyer and fan of gfuel for years. When I first been with them there wasn't a fazeberry by the way "Delicious" but my favorite and many others was the strawberry kiwi sad they don't make it anymore "disappointment" I order hundreds of times many different flavors different Shaker cups and there's my first complaint the Shaker cups when they first came out there were made by a different company and they were fantastic somewhere down the line they used a softer plastic which made them brittle when they got old or the flip cap that sits into the cup breaks off and gets stuck and now you can't close your shaker I complain about this problem once and I just got a coupon for more Shaker cups but there's still the same quality. The next is the flavors I don't know who's doing the flavor testing but some of these flavors are horrendous they're coffee French vanilla tastes like if you took a one is of Dunkin donuts coffee French vanilla coffee and filled the cup with water and ice it is just nasty watered down it's like when you forget your two sips on your iced coffee and let it sit and the ice melt don't know how that ever passed anyone's palette or flavor check as a laughing joke among my friends to try it because it tastes just the way I describe it today I had to order it was $135 I use a 20% code brought it down for $94 do my check out and see that they charged me $140 I'm still waiting on customer support the product is good but their products were a lot better before they were paying massive amounts of money to streamers and teams I miss my five star g fuel and I love you guys I just hope this is a wake-up call for not cheaping out on products and please explain to me how was I was told that check out 94 and my card get charged $140

Honestly, it started as a curiosity. I was looking for ways to get a quick pick-me-up when I simply didn't have the time to brew a pot of coffee when I needed an energy boost. Long story short, I came across G Fuel, and before long, I fell in love with it. At first, I wasn't too sure about the first two flavors that I got from them -- Lemonade and Black On Blackberry -- but I knew it had potential, and I still needed an emergency pick-me-up.

Truth be told, most energy drinks out there didn't appeal to me. They all tasted like sweetened urine mixed with some sort of household cleaner to me, and for the longest time, I avoided them like the plague, so the fact that Gamma Labs apparently uses natural ingredients and no sugar was a major selling point for me. Not only that, but they have an enormous assortment of flavors to choose from, and they even have starter kits and single-serving packet bundles for first-time buyers, so instead of feeling like you have to commit to a 40-serving tub of one flavor and hope for the best, you can try a sample of several differentfl flavors and see if any of them suit your tastes. If not, well, at least you didn't spend more than you would have, right?

Assuming you do find one or more flavors that you enjoy, you can get those aforementioned 40-serving tubs that will last you for some time -- at least a few weeks if you drink 2 servings every day, but I personally wouldn't recommend that unless you want to have insomnia and caffeine dependency. Regardless, despite the price tag, each serving is only about 90 cents per 16 oz serving, which isn't bad at all in the grand scheme of things when you consider how kuch a 20 oz bottle of soda or a can of Red Bull costs. Not only that, G Fuel regularly goes on sale and has coupon codes provided by the people they sponsor. To top it all off, they often have BOGO sales every so often throughout the year, so if you get two tubs, that's only 45 cents per serving. Talk about a bargain, right? If you do prefer to get energy drinks in carbonated form, thought they have a pretty decent selection of flavors in aready-to-drink cans, though be warned that they have twice the caffeine as a serving of formula.

All of that aside, Gamma Labs has had excellent customer sevice and relations. They frequently reach out to their customers be it through social media or the people they sponsor, so it never feels like they're "just" a business. That's something that I think elevates Gamma Labs just a little more ad a company. That personal connection is something that I feel like a lot of other companies need to work on if they want to keep their customers happy.

The only two real issues I take with G Fuel when bought directly from Gamma Labs is the shipping. It can be a crapshoot when it comes to times before your package is delivered, and depending on your location, shipping fees might cost an arm and a leg, relatively speaking.

I'd go on with this review, but it's late, and I feel like I've said enough to show how much I've enjoyed G Fuel as a whole despite my grievances with their shipping. Hopefully what I've written here will encourage others to give it a try, because before G Fuel, I was quite skeptical about every energy drink out there until this one. So yeah, long story short, it tastes great when you find that special flavor, it's cheap, and the customer service is outstanding.

So go on. You won't be disappointed. Or maybe you will. You'll never know until you try, as they say.

The flavors GFUEL has are really good and their shipping comes in very fast, at least for me though.

I love Gfuel and also all the flavors and it is healthy and no sugar Unlike different energy drinks
