UCAN Edge Energy Gel Shots, Vanilla Latte + Caffeine (12, 2 Ounce Packets) for Running, Training, Workouts, Fitness, Cycling, Crossfit | Sugar-Free, Vegan, & Keto Friendly Energy

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 love Ucan, I’ve used the protein powder for years, the energy gels are just as good and the flavor is pretty good in my opinion.

I use to use the GU gels & honey stingers, but I was researching these, tried them out and they’re fantastic! I only have to take 1 pouch every 75 mins compared to 3 GU gels. The GU ones started to make me sick after downing like 5 of them, but these ones don’t make my tummy hurt at all. I also noticed a “sugar high” and “crash” with the others, but just solid steady energy with these. I took one pouch before my 5 mile run yesterday and I didn’t have to bring any extras with me- I felt great during my whole run. The only negative comment I have is the taste of the “original” flavor. I had to chase it with something else because the taste was gross in my opinion. But still giving these 5 stars because everything else is so much more important!

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***

I had been using gu energy gels which are fine, but they are high in sugar and calories and required you to use them every 30 minutes. As someone with diabetes and watching my calorie intake while marathon training I thought I would try these and they were great. One before and one an hour is perfect for long runs. Lower calories and easy on the tummy.

I’ve run 5 marathons and been an avid runner for 15 years. These are hands down the best for taste, texture, and performance aspects!

Provides decent energy, however some of the flavors are unappealing. The berry flavored packs were the best. Unflavored definitely had a flavor, and it wasn’t great. Overall, a decent product for the price.

Great stuff!
