There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only gripe (is it even a gripe?) is that they recommend consuming several of these during a long run and there's just no way I can do that. I have been using one per 90-120 minutes and that has been working for me. If I were running a marathon, I'd likely consume one every 60 minutes. You need to play with the amount as you train and do what works for you.
Overall, I'd recommend this to my endurance athlete friends out there.
So after discovering this Gel company, and the fact that they're formulated so you don't need water to chug these down with, I gave the variety pack a go with training. Now I think all energy Gels flavors are not ideal, but honestly these are fine and all I need to have is something that I can not think about it. And I found the tropical one to be the "best". The last thing I need during my marathon is to consume something disgusting 3 times an hour for a few hours. So as long as it's satisfactory, like some of these were, then it's good with me.
Anyways, these proved to work! I bought a box of 30 Tropical (as well as their sodium and some caffeine ones) and have used them every weekend for a few weeks now. I did a 20 mile run consuming 3 per hour per the instructions, which led me to complete my distance without any energy issues! No "wall"! These also rip fairly easily at the perforation, I had no issues with opening them during the runs.
The only real issues I had with them is their size and price. It was decently larger than I thought at 6in by 2in wide, but I guess that's what 2oz gets you. A pack of 6 variety was $10, and a pack of 30 Tropical flavor was around $30, so in bulk it's a dollar a piece. I'm no expert in this field, and that may be a great deal for all I know, so take those negative opinions with a grain of salt from this newbie marathon runner.
Aside from that, gonna stick with these for the long run (I promise that pun was not intentional hahaha). I will be taking them alongside me for the upcoming marathon! That alone should prove their efficacy, and hopefully your decision if you were as lost as I was in this world of energy gels.

Update:
Ran the LA Marathon, carried these for a packet per 20 minutes. I had ZERO energy issues throughout the race. Sure I was tired, but I had no carbohydrate energy issues. These were also gently on my stomach with how sensitive it was that day. Strongly recommended!
This is my first experience with SIS energy gel. I ordered the orange flavor. I like that it does not have any caffeine, but rather 22 grams of carbohydrates per gel. I also like that you do not need to consume water with SIS gel. For individuals who are vegan, this is vegan friendly.
This product is made with Maltodextrin; this is the second ingredient listed after water. Maltodextrin is used as a thickener, filler or preservative in highly processed foods. It’s an artificially produced white powder that can be enzymatically derived from any starch, but is commonly made from corn, rice, potato starch or wheat
THINGS TO BE AWARE OF WHEN CONSUMING PRODUCTS WITH MALTODEXTRIN
1. Spikes Blood Sugar
Maltodextrin can cause spikes in blood sugar because IT HAS A HIGH GLYCEMIC INDEX, and CAN BE PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DIABETES OR INSULIN RESISTANCE.
2. Suppresses the Growth of Probiotics
Maltodextrin can change the composition of your gut bacteria by suppressing the growth of beneficial probiotics.
TASTE
It’s a sports gel, and they all have some sort of odd flavor or consistency, and this one is no different. The actual orange flavor is pretty much nonexistent, and the consistency is less than desirable.
FIRST IMPRESSION
Honestly, I gagged a little because of the consistency, it was gross, and then I thought I have five more to consume. I may give them to my friend and stick with GU.
CONCLUSION
I like that the orange gel has 22 mg of carbohydrates. I like that one does not need to consume water with it. However, I ride with an Osprey backpack with water reservoir; so, this is not a game changer. I also like the orange flavor gel it does not have caffeine. However, I’m on the fence with SIS energy gel, hence by 3-star review. It’s the consistency that grossed me out, and I mean really grossed me out. Additionally, one expects to have a little flavor, but the almost nonexistent flavor in conjunction with the gross consistency almost makes this a definite no. My recommendation, give it a try and if you don't like it, then you at least know what does not work for you.
------- TEN MONTH UPDATE -------
Initially I gave SIS energy gel a three-star review mainly because I was on the fence about consistency and taste. Also, you may be wondering why I tried this stuff for ten months if I was so grossed out? Simply put, I have not had another product that compares to this stuff yet. In fact, GU is now completely off the table for me. It’s not that GU is bad product, it’s not, it’s just that GU is too thick to consume, and you have to knock it back with water and lots of it. Try racing in hot climates and having to consume a thick product like GU and over consuming water or whatever fitness electrolytes you are carrying in your reservoir. In fact, now that I am writing this update, this is one of the best aspects I like about SIS energy gel. It’s super easy to consume, thus allowing one to keep the fitness drink for when it’s really needed.
Just yesterday before training I had an SIS energy gel and I was thinking this isn’t that bad after all – at least as far as consistency goes. The taste still needs improving, but it did not gross me out as much as it initially did. I guess this is just one of those things you have to acquire a taste for.
NOTE: I kept the original review intact with the exception of the “First Impression” section. I edited this section so it is not so descriptive.
CONCLUSION
I still stick with the majority of my review but have changed my mind about the consistency, which was the biggest factor regarding the number of stars for my review. The consistency really grossed me out initially, but I got used to it. My recommendation, give it a try – maybe a little longer than just a few packets. I’m glad I did. With that said, I am changing my three-star review to five-stars. I am no longer on the fence about this product.
