G Fuel, (stylized G FUEL), is a brand of caffeinated drink mix sold by Gamma Labs, based in West Babylon, New York.

G Fuel has had sponsorship deals with PewDiePie, Dr DisRespect, and FaZe Clan, among others.

Formula

Green apple and coconut energy formula packs

A serving of G Fuel (12 US fluid ounces (350 ml) contains 150 mg of caffeine, which is considered to be higher than other energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster Energy.

Flavors

Consisting of a variety of different flavors such as fruit punch, green apple, and lemonade, the company also offers other flavors made for sponsorships with YouTubers, Twitch.tv streamers, and Esports gamers.

Discontinued flavors

In March 2018, G Fuel discontinued coconut, pineapple, and mystery flavor.

Criticism

One of the ingredients in G Fuel is the amino acid Taurine. CEO Clifford Morgan stated that "There is nothing wrong with Taurine, especially in small amounts".

A 5th grade student in Plymouth, Massachusetts was hospitalized after another student handed him G Fuel, after he began vomiting and slurring his words. A representative from G Fuel said “he was horrified” and stated that the product is marketed to those over 18.
