#5: GU Gel Packs.
GU Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel is the energy gel that
started it all. Developed in 1993, by Dr. Bill Vaughn for his
daughter to help her perform better in ultra marathons, these gel
packs are calorie-dense and loaded with 21 grams of
carbohydrates.

Most importantly, they contain amino acids help your body build
the proteins you need to survive. Branched-chain amino acids
limit muscle fiber damage and increase speed of recovery, and
extra electrolytes help maintain water balance. Each packet
contains 450mg of Amino acids!

What makes these gel packs different from the others?

Carbs: 21g total carbs.
Electrolytes: Yes! GU has extra electrolytes help maintain
water balance
Stimulants: caffeine to increase concentration
Vitamins: Vitamins and amino acids

#6: Honey Stingers
One of the best energy chews available is an organic energy
chew. Honey Stingers, pictured right are a winner. Sweetened
with organic honey and tapioca syrup, these are made in the U.S.
A. and are USDA organic. They are 95% organic. (See also Cliff
Chews which are 85-90% organic). Honey Stingers also have a
gram of protein and come in options of caffeine or no caffeine.

Formulated specifically for health-conscious preppers who want a
great tasting energy snack, these bite-sized chews include 100%
RDA of Vitamin C and natural energy from honey.

What makes this energy chew different from the others?
These chews are smaller and softer than others on the market,
and they don’t stick to your teeth! They're actually good for you.
On the flip side, they are a bit stickier than the others. They
won't stick to your teeth, but maybe a bit to your hands.

Carbs: 39 grams
Electrolytes: No
Stimulants: Some are caffeinated with 32 mg of white tea
extract (look for caffeinated cherry cola if you want the
caffeine
Vitamins: 100% Vitamin C, and 40 mg Potassium

#7: Sqwincher Energy Bursts.
Sqwincher energy chews restore, revitalize and recharge.
Sqwincher Energy bursts offer electrolyte replenishment plus
vitamins and amino acids to help increase energy and help relieve
fatigue.

These electrolyte replacement chews help you to power through
your physical activities or your work day by sharpening your
senses and recharging your muscles with essential minerals.
Convenient energy chews help you reduce that groggy, dragging
feeling of lost electrolytes. It's good to know that Sqwinchers
have electrolytes to help recovery after physical work, exercise, or
illness, or following exposure to extreme heat.

Isotonic electrolyte replacement drinks have similar
concentrations of salt and sugar as in the human body, allowing
for quick absorption. Sugar provides carbohydrates for energy, and
salts (such as sodium, calcium, potassium, chlorine, magnesium,
and bicarbonate) help to restore the body's electrolyte balance.
The cells in the human body use electrolytes to carry electrical
impulses (such as nerve impulses and muscle contractions) across
themselves and to other cells, a process required for proper brain
and body function.

Carbs: 22 grams
Electrolytes: Yes! Sqwincher Electrolyte replacement chews
restore lost electrolytes during physical activity or high heat.
Stimulants: Caffeinec to help increase energy and help
relieve fatigue
Vitamins: Essential minerals with 30 mg potassium per
serving.

#8: Survival Tabs.
The Survival Tabs, pictured right, are not quite like food bars or
ration bars. They come in little bite-sized nuggets. Try
butterscotch for just $8.95 on Prime, pictured right. The Survival
Tabs are energy chews, but they won't satiate your appetite,
because they are only 20 calories each and they have no bulking
fiber, but they will help ensure you get the vitamins you need in a
crisis situation where the food you're eating is less nutritive than
what you'd have in a non-emergency situation. Think of Survival
Tabs as a cross between an energy chew and a vitamin.

Three packets, representing three meals, have a total of around
240 calories -~ which is only 10% of the calories you need in a
day. Certainly this is better than starving. Again, think of them
more like survival vitamins and something tasty to go with your
rice and beans.

The Survival Tabs have such a highly concentrated formula that
99% of their calorie content is absorbed by the body with 97% of
the protein content being available to repair or replacement of
muscles, and nerves!

What makes these tablets different from the other chews?
One portable, personal pouch of the Survival Tabs will sustain a
person for an entire day! They will last 25 years in part because
the pouches are made of Mylar. You're basically getting the
nutritional equivalent of a 2000-calorie diet without getting the
calories. These are gluten free and non-GMO to boot!

Carbs: Carbohydrates 58%, plus 25% recommended fat
Electrolytes: No.
Stimulants: No
Vitamins: Yes! You get all the daily essential vitamins and
minerals needed when facing uncertainty:

Vitamin A........ ..... 5,000 I.U...... ...100%

Vitamin D........ ..... 400 I.U. ...........100%

Vitamin E.......... ... 30 E.I.U. ..........100%

Thiamine (B1). ..... 1.5 mg. .............100%

Riboflavin ... ..........1.7 mg. ............100%

Niacin ... ...............20.0 mg. ..........100%

Pyridoxine (B6)..... 2.0 mg. ............100%

Folic Acid ... .........0.4 mg. ............100%

Vitamin B12 ... ......3.0 mg. ............100%

Vitamin C ... ..........60.0 mg. .........100%

Plus, 18mg of

Iron (as Ferrous Fumarate)

amazing energy tablets. When you want a long lasting, calm,
clean energy with no jitters, and no crash, reach for Atomic Tabs.
It's not an energy drink ~ it's a tablet that you can chew, though
the packaging makes it look like an electrolyte drink tablet. One

quenching, but packed with carbohydrate energy, Gatorade Energy

bears, but dissolve much faster in your mouth. They're not too
chewy, and they're easy to digest. Prep muscles before a workout
or refuel during a competition or hike.

the shots when it comes to energy. Eat all six carb chews before
