UCAN Energy Gel | Variety Pack | 4 Flavors | Sugar Free | 12 Pack | Easy on the Stomach | No Sugar Crash | Ideal for Running, Cycling and other Endurance Training | Vegan Gluten Free Non-GMO

I live these energy gels for runs longer than one hour. The taste is slightly sweet not chalky but gel like. Although the instructions say you don't have to drink water after I usually do. It is effective in helping my energy levels with endurance runs. I also use them with long bike rides and long swims. It is a fair price for its use considering there are many similar products in the market that we can choose from. Easy to transport in your vest, short's pocket or any waist belt. Easy to open while exercising and easy to place back in a pocket if there is not a trash can near by.

Easy to open and consume while cycling. The flavor is robust and easy to swallow without added water. A boost of energy to help you finish your training ride strong.

Love u can I use it for all my long runs and sprints. The formula is gentle on my stomach and flavors are tasty

I switched from using Gu gels for long distance runs to these. These are great, because they are not meant to be chased by water like Gu. They are very drinkable and not at all chunky or thick like other gels. The taste does take some getting used to, but it is not bad (it's not as tasteful as a Gu gel, probably because it's not packed with sugar). I find that these give me much better energy for runs, as they are not packed with any sugar, and don't give me a crash. The only caution is that the carb content is not super high, so for training for races like marathons, they may need to be taken more often than the recommended one every 75 minutes.

I tried this for my 14 mile long run, and I loved them. I went off of the good reviews. I hadn't heard of their product before. The flavor was really good. I tried strawberry banana, orange mango and lime I believe. The consistency was perfect. I felt a energy boost every time I ate one. I played with the timing a bit. I took one 15 min before my run, the next at 3 miles, the next at 7 miles and lastly one at 11 miles. It didn't feel like too much and I didn't have stomach upset. Some I've used before would cause some acid reflux which was terrible. The package says 75 mins, but that seemed to long to me. I'll have to keep trying to get the perfect fuel times. *** I have been using these for maybe a couple months? I do love the energy boost, but the after taste is starchy and does make your mouth dry***

Great gel shots for running/mtbing and this package did not come damaged like the last one(a few partially opened gel shots). There was white chunks and dust in the box.

This is not a fair review. These things didn't give me any energy whatsoever. I got a DNA test (which mirrors a test I took at a DEXA facility) that shows 85% of my energy comes from fat, and the rest from carbs, but my body probably makes its own carbs for my brain to use. So, these have zero effect when I take them on long bike rides. In fact, my energy drops after I consume them. They definitely work for other people, just not me. The taste is perfectly fine, and the ingredients are premium. However, cheaper, seemingly lower-quality energy gels work much better for me, likely because of the amount of salt they contain, not the carbs.

Tried the UCAN gels during my half marathon training/race and I’m impressed! Easy on my stomach, no sugar crash, and they gave me steady energy throughout my long runs. I also loved that they weren’t overly sweet like other gels. Definitely helped me push through those tough miles!
