According to G Fuel’s website, the Twitch-sponsoring energy drink wasn’t created for gym rats but rather for the gamer looking for an edge. It’s designed to increase focus and awareness unlike anything else on the market. After a big spiel geared toward gamers the website also says it can work in “split-second decision fields such as MMA, Sky Diving, Weight Lifting, BMX, and Extreme Sports.” So I’m drinking a formula that can work for MMA fighters and gamers, huh? Sounds good, I’ll give it a test run.
Purchase & Initial Thoughts
I bought the G Fuel tub, Fazeberry flavor on Amazon. EZPZ. Drank a scoop (recommended dosage) in some tap water as soon as the package hit my doorstep. The taste is way better and less chalky then the pre-workout supplements I’ve ever tried in the past. My roommate also tried some and he said it tasted like a “melted popsicle.” I actually could agree more.
The energy you get from sucking down the mix is different too. Your peripheries are hazy compared to what’s going on in front of you. I guess that’s just what focusing feels like… It’s a mellow rush even though your heart is racing at one hundred miles an hour. With a promise of no comedown, the product does, however, make me feel a slightly strange after it has worn off. A confusion rather than a crash.
Conclusion
I don’t think G Fuel can beat out originals like coffee and coke. Is it simple to use? Definitely. But it’s overhyped for what it is.
