Clif Shot Energy Gel is an all-natural and organic easily-digested source of carbohydrates and electrolytes for athletes during activity. It is the only energy gel made with 90 percent organic ingredients, giving athletes essential natural nutrition for performance.

CLIF has fewer ingredients than other brands - but more of what you need. The streamlined approach gives you a performance advantage with a fast-acting energy source from organic maltodextrin and organic evaporated cane juice, and with more essential electrolytes.

Clif Shot Energy Gel is primarily used by endurance athletes - runners, triathletes and adventure racers, and cyclists. However, any performance-oriented athlete needing a quick burst of energy can benefit from Clif Shot Energy Gel.

How to Use

Generally, endurance athletes need to consume 200-400 calories per hour from all sources, such as gels, chewables, bars and drinks. We recommend 1-3 gels per hour to help support your needs.

Caffeine

Caffeine is a safe, legal, and effective performance-enhancing ingredient. Clif Shot Energy Gels use all-natural green tea extract as its caffeine ingredient, to help with motivation, mental alertness and the burning of fat as fuel. Clif Shot Energy Gel offers three caffeine options (25, 50 and 100mg) and the most caffeine of any gel (100mg) so that you can customize your caffeine consumption. Three flavors with no caffeine are available.

Electrolytes

Clif Shot Energy Gel contains the optimal amount of added sodium and potassium to replace what you lose in your sweat. No other gel has more of both sodium and potassium. Taking in these additional electrolytes will support proper muscle function during activity.

Amino Acids and Vitamins

The primary purpose of Clif Shot Energy Gel is to deliver essential energy and electrolytes for performance. While vitamins and amino acids are critical to daily well being, studies continually show that there is no performance benefit to consuming these nutrients during activity.

Packaging

Clif Shot is the only energy gel with the Litter Leash. Its patented design allows the tear tab to stay attached to the bottom of the packet after use. We adopted this design after seeing so many gel tabs littering the roads and trails. The Litter Leash makes the process of opening, eating, and disposing of a gel significantly easier than any other gel.

The new package is more streamlined with a smaller opening and rounded corners making it easier for athletes to carry and use. The new design dispenses the gel easily and the new recipe helps it go down quickly.

Is Clif Shot Energy Gel vegetarian?

Clif Shot Energy Gel contains no animal-based ingredients so it is vegan-friendly.

Flavors

Athletes and foodies in the CLIF Kitchen created six base flavors: Citrus (25mg caffeine), plus Razz, Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry (25mg caffeine), Mocha (50mg caffeine) and two TURBO flavors in Double Espresso (100mg caffeine) and Chocolate Cherry (100mg caffeine) that contain the highest level of caffeine of any gel.
