Motivational wrote No, g-fuel is completely based around the caffeine that's used to make it.

Your reactions are how fast your brain sends signals to other parts of your body and it's almost completely based upon your genetics. Taking Gfuel will not make you good at gaming, in-fact it probably wont even make you any better. Things like what weapon you use, your internet speed and how much sleep you have are far more important on deciding if you'll actually win a gunfight or not.

As I said in the beginning, Gfuel is basically just based around caffeine which will make you feel more energized and awake, however after those effects wear off then you'll feel more tired and exhausted than you died before taking the Gfuel.

If you're taking it to get better at Xbox games then it will honestly do nothing, the Xbox controller is designed in a way that means it's almost impossible to build muscle memory and the skill cap is generally quite low. That's because Xbox games don't have competitive ranks like CSGO or LoL and they don't want their younger fan base to be stomped on by better players. I've been playing COD since I was about ten and I'm eighteen now and I'm not one of the best players in the world, even though I've been playing it for eight years. I bet if I had of put those eight years into something like archery or League of Legends then things would have been very different.


Two key things you mentioned here to tell you why gfuel helps me.. "energized" and "awake" both of these make you more alert. It doesn't help me press buttons on my controller faster, it helps me make split second decisions faster and reduce the chance of mental fatigue while the drink is in my system. Yes you can have a crash after the effects are off but the drink does work. i too have been playing cod from the age of 9, I am now 19 and I can see difference in how I play. Not just cod but any fast paced competitive game. There is not a 'dramatic difference' but basically saying gfuel just creates a placebo effect on yourself is completely wrong. Obviously people will react different to it but I can 100% say it makes a difference

* also a good brain stimulant so it can in fact help you revise if you use it every now and then


I never said that GFuel doesn't work. I said that it's falsely advertised and it doesn't work the way people think it does.

Basically, caffeine is a drug. GFuel is filled with caffeine and when you take caffeine, you get a "high" as to say. This high is the energy that Gfuel users claim to get after taking it and the energy crash they receive after is the comedown effect from the drug.

I don't think people actually realize that Caffeine is a drug and if you take two scoops of GFuel everyday for two weeks then you're going to have withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it. You're going to have headaches, stomach cramps and so on.

I'm completely against GFuel, like 100% against it. Simply because if a human being is not capable of playing a computer game to a decent standard without taking drugs on a daily basis then something is wrong. A healthy child should be able to spend a couple of hours sitting still and moving their fingers without feeling tired or weak. And if you can't then it's insulting to all the kids who work all day and stay up without the use of "GFuel".

As I've said above, GFuel contains caffeine and caffeine is a drug. Of course you're going to see effects because you're literally cheating, the problem is that this that GFuel isn't advertised as being filled with caffeine and it's target audience is young kids who, quite frankly shouldn't be staying up playing the game late.

Z4M wrote I've just invested in a couple of pots of G-fuel. I wanted to know is it worth it and what does it change? I know it makes your reaction time faster but does it actually ?


It basically has similar affects as coffee.

I prefer it just because it's quite more healthier than soda, but all in all quality is good, flavor choose are solid, price is ok, and I personally don't see a difference in my play style but I can be wired to grind all night.

Suppose you make a good point I'm not gonna argue with that.

Following what Motivational said if you need to have g-fuel to stay up and play video games then you shouldn't probably be doing it because it not only has side effects and becomes addictive but you are also 'overworking' your body which will just make your body even more tired and weak the next day

Personally I don't like it and don't use it at all.
