Gleukos is made with glucose, the body!s natural source of energy. It works fast because it doesn!t require digestion to be converted to energy. The beverage, available in a variety of flavors in liquid and powder forms, provides natural energy, optimal electrolytes, hydration, and a light crisp taste, allowing athletes to perform their best before, during and after sport.

Punch

BevNET Review:
Using the same formula as the Lemon variety, Gleukos Punch features a refreshing tropical punch flavor that’s a bit stronger on the tongue than its counterpart. Aside from the fruit punch flavor – which we prefer over the lemon – the products are identical in formulation, packaging, and brand. Like the lemon variety, we believe that the pouch is a bit clumsy and uncomfortable to hold, leaving this product feeling like a specialty product. With a different package, we think that this product could have penetration into the mainstream sports drink category. Still, the fruit punch flavor is quite tasty and the product seems to work – and that makes Gleukos Fruit Punch worth your dollar.

Lemon
Category: Sports Drinks: Sports Drink; Packaging: 16 fl oz (473 ml) pouch

BevNET Review:
The purpose of Gleukos Performance Beverages is pretty clear: create a beverage that is fueled by glucose which, unlike fructose and sucrose, can be rapidly absorbed in to the bloodstream. The result is a product that can be taking before, during, and after physical activity. The Lemon variety of Gleukos will taste familiar to anyone who has had a lemon-lime sports drink, but with a much lighter, less intense flavor. While we can’t speak to its efficacy, we can certainly say that the flavor is light enough that it could be consumed during physical activity. The packaging, a screw-top, soft-sided pouch, is probably the most recognizable and memorable aspect of the product. Unfortunately, that’s a drawback: it’s not the most convenient product to hold. In all honesty, if this were in a more traditional packaged we’d be much more likely to consume it on a regular basis.
