The HIGH5 Energy Drink Berry 1kg is a berry-flavoured endurance carbohydrate drink designed to provide steady energy and hydration support during long-duration exercise like cycling, running, and triathlon training.
What it is
This is a carbohydrate drink mix based on:
- Maltodextrin (glucose source)
- Fructose (32%)
- Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride)
- Berry flavouring
It uses a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio, designed for efficient fuel absorption during endurance exercise.
Main performance benefit
The key advantage is improved carbohydrate uptake:
- Standard absorption: ~60g carbs/hour
- With 2:1 mix: up to ~90g carbs/hour
This allows:
- more energy delivery to working muscles,
- delayed fatigue,
- improved endurance performance over long efforts.
How to use it
Typical preparation:
- Mix 47g powder into 500ml water
- Shake well
During exercise:
- Drink 150–250ml every 20 minutes
This creates a steady energy flow instead of spikes.
When to use it
Best for:
- MTB endurance rides
- Gravel events
- Road cycling training
- Indoor trainer sessions
- Long runs or triathlon training
Berry vs Citrus
Both versions (berry and citrus) are:
- nutritionally identical in function,
- differ mainly in flavour profile,
- designed for long-term hydration and fueling consistency.
Electrolyte support
Contains:
- sodium
- potassium
- chloride
These help replace sweat losses and support hydration, especially in hot conditions.
How it fits with other HIGH5 products
In a full fueling system:
-
Energy Drink → base carbs + hydration
-
Energy Gummies → chewable carb top-ups
-
Gels → fast energy spikes when needed
Most endurance riders use the drink as the foundation, then layer other fuels depending on intensity.
Bottom line
This berry Energy Drink is a core endurance fuel product that helps you maintain consistent energy and hydration so you can sustain performance over long rides without bonking.
