e-Gel vs
EFS Liquid SHOT Energy Gel

Advantage e-Gel:
First Endurance EFS Liquid Shot Gel is fairly new to the market and is improvement in some areas over many traditional gels, but it still comes up far short of e-Gel in terms of electrolyte levels and carbohydrate sources.
EFS Liquid Shot does not come in individual packets, so for the purposes of this comparison to e-Gel we have used 150 calories of each product. The first thing that jumps out is that EFS Liquid Shot contains 50% simple sugars, that’s the highest level of all energy gels on the market that we are aware of (you should be looking for low levels of simple sugars and high levels of complex carbohydrates). As for electrolytes, e-Gel contains 50% more sodium, the most important electrolyte for maintaining hydration and avoiding cramping. Amazingly, even when purchasing EFS Liquid Shot is the 2,400 calorie bulk jug, the cost per serving is 18% more than e-Gel.
