Huma Plus - Chia Energy Gel, Original and Plus Variety 24ct | Double Electrolytes, Real Food, Stomach Friendly Energy, 12 Original and 12 Plus Gels

I’m extremely picky when it comes to energy gels, and honestly, this product completely exceeded my expectations. The Huma Plus Chia Energy Gels have a much better texture than most gels I’ve tried—smooth, easy to swallow, and not overly thick or sticky. The flavors are delicious and don’t have that artificial aftertaste that many energy products have. I mainly use them for running, and they provide a steady boost of energy without upsetting my stomach. I also noticed that I didn’t experience the usual energy crash afterward. The variety pack is perfect because I got to try different flavors and found several favorites. If you’re someone who is very selective about what you put in your body during workouts, I highly recommend giving these a try. I’ll definitely be ordering them again!

As a 3x marathoner who is currently training for a 50 mile ultra, Huma brand gels are my favorite hands down. I order the variety packs so I have a mix of caffeinated and non-caffeinated, as well as gels that include additional electrolytes which come in handy because I live in a humid climate where I sweat a lot during training, even in the cooler months. There isn’t a flavor I don’t like, and I find the consistency easy to get down. The packages are easy to open while running, and Huma gels have never bothered my gut or made me feel nauseous like other brands have. As someone with a Masters degree in Exercise Science, I’m strict about my training and fueling, and I can proudly say I’ve never hit a wall due to insufficient fueling during a long run or race, and Huma is hands down my gel of choice to fuel my runs.

I used to used GU’s in high school for cross country meets and had gone back to them when I started running longer distances after graduation. I’ve been training for the 50K distance for the past year and started experimenting with nutrition. I tried skratch chews, honey stinger waffles, honey stinger chews, health warrior chia bars, bolt chews, the list goes on. Some were okay, but I still found it hard to stomach any of those options after 15 miles. I ordered the variety plus pack of hüma gels to try them out and I LOVED them. GU gels had been great because they had good flavor and gave me energy without having to chew solid food. However, I always felt like I was choking it down because it was similar to the consistency of peanut butter - it would make my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, it coated the inside of my mouth (nasty feeling), and I always had to follow it with a lot of water to feel like I could breathe again without my tongue sticking to the roof of my mouth. The Hüma gels are not like that at all. They have a great texture (as others have said, similar to applesauce) and are easy to eat while running! I’m pretty picky about flavors (I don’t like banana, mango, blueberry, etc.), but I actually liked all of the flavors and there were flavors like banana, mango, and blueberry. I was really surprised that I liked all of them, but it was a pleasant surprise. They aren’t too sweet so they don’t upset my stomach like some of the other nutrition options I listed. They’re easy to carry, easy to eat, and provide a good energy boost. I’m about to order my third variety pack and I’ll definitely stick with these gels.

These are my favorite gels for distance running! I am a sensitive flower when it comes to ingredients especially while training, and these hit the spot. I was skeptical that they would taste good, but they are so yum. The chocolate specifically tastes like frosting 🙃

I am picky with my gels. I can't stand those that are two thick. Maybe they have better flavors, or more sodium, or potassium, or carbs, or whatever. For me, the thickness of the gels is a 100% deal breaker. I am also not a fan of gels that overpower you with flavor. I would prefer more neutral or muted flavors. My go to gel and flavor used to be Powerbar tangerine (orange was just to much orange), but then I found the "orange dream". But even with Powerbar, you take to many (how many depends on the event) and my iron stomach would bit off. In comes huma, referred by a friend. Read the backstory, like it. Like the goal for a bit more natural, like the claims for easy on the stomach, though I never really had GI issues. Pros: - great flavors. Not a big fan or mocha and chocolate, but in a variety, I'll eat those. - easy on the stomach, never once has issues with it. - the new flavors, love the direction and interested to try them out. Saving them for a 100k coming up Cons: - not as easy imho to open as some others - not as easy to squeeze out the top. Its like the hole needs to be bigger, or they need the gel to be a bit thinner - yes its easy on stomach, but it doesnt seems to pack the punch/boost I would get from Powerbar. Not a deal breaker, but an observation - more expensive - they are not as thin as I would have guessed. Yes more than Gu, or Hammer, but the Powerbar is still more smooth. Seems like more cons, but they are quite minor. These are my go to gels. for ultras, I do still bring some powerbar, and mix them in, but its primarily huma and Tailwind Update: 05/19/2017 This is still my go to gel. Love most of the flavors. Really like the two newest once. Still not a fan of the rip top I wish the mouth area was a bit wider to allow the gel to come out quicker/more volume. That would change it to 5 stars for me.

So far so good! I’ve only tried 2, but I went with the chocolate this morning. If I’m going to have GI issues it’s going to be with chocolate. I had zero issues and this was the best chocolate flavored gel I’ve ever tried, and I’ve tried a lot. I have a sensitive stomach and so far I love both flavors, the consistency, the energy I felt, and no GI issues (which I almost always have w/ gels).

These are my favorite gels! So far, they’re the only gels that don’t make me nauseous. I’m a repeat customer!

I've been using Huma Gels for a while now, and I can honestly say they’re my go-to nutrition source during both training and races. The texture is smooth, the flavors are delicious (no artificial aftertaste!), and they provide a quick yet lasting energy boost that I rely on every time. What really sets these apart is how effective they are at preventing cramps and keeping my energy steady. Whenever I see someone struggling with cramps during a race, I always pass out a Huma Gel. The difference is immediate – they work fast and keep you going for the long haul. It’s a small act of kindness, but it always feels great to help someone push through with the support of such an awesome product. Highly recommend Huma Gels to anyone who needs reliable, clean energy for endurance sports. They’ve become a key part of my racing and training routine.

Sellados y en buen estado

Good on taste and texture.. easy on the stomach!

It taste really well. Using it for my 25km run and did not face any GI issue. Will consider to try this and Spring Energy for this year end marathon.
