5.0 out of 5 stars These Are Great
I'm not sure why this is getting some bad reviews. Do people not know what a gel is supposed to taste like or what the typical consistency of a gel is like? It's perfectly fine. Actually the tropical flavor is pretty darn good compared to some others I've tried on the past. If you're an athlete who participates in endurance sports, then you know what to expect from an energy gel. This one is really no different. Skip past the negative reviews. These work exactly like they're supposed to and taste good. The consistency is normal, a tiny bit less bulky than some of the other gels out on the market but, in my opinion, that's a good thing. It also gets to work quickly, which is another positive when your tank is almost on "E." One thing I will say, I found it a little tricky to get the last few drops out of the packaging. These don't seem to be as easy as some of the other energy gels you can simply squeeze from the bottom. I had to stop during my ride and use both hands to get the last bit out. I have small hands so maybe that's part of the issue. Very minor detail and not a deal breaker, imo.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gel Option For Athletes
My friend recommended this to me after I complained about tummy issues with the gels I used to use. These are super easy to swallow and don't require water like most gels, so that's great if you are in a pinch with no water. The flavor is fine. I mean, it's a gel, I'm not looking for a five star menu item here.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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good "Now" Energy, Terrible Taste
I realize that we don't buy energy supplements for flavor, but oh my God, I would give the flavor of these negative stars if I could. The consistency is "nectar-thick", but the flavor taste like one single berry whispering the word "berry" from down a long hallway. That being said, it IS isotonic and it DOES provide stable energy that doesn't have to be consumed long in advance to work, and doesn't require guzzling water thereafter. Would I use these again? Maybe to probably not, but you be the judge for yourself; I know some people place a different level of importance on flavor than I do.
5.0 out of 5 stars Initially On The Fence Because Of Taste And Consistency – UPDATE TEN MONTHS LATER
First, let me preface this review with the fact that I normally use GU energy gel on rides. However, I have a friend who started using SIS Energy Gel and he swears by it. Although, he warned me this has an almost nonexistent taste and consistency that takes getting used to. He also said the orange flavor is the best out of the SIS gels. Onward to my review and experience…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 wheatTHINGS TO BE AWARE OF WHEN CONSUMING PRODUCTS WITH MALTODEXTRIN1. Spikes Blood SugarMaltodextrin 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 ProbioticsMaltodextrin can change the composition of your gut bacteria by suppressing the growth of beneficial probiotics.TASTEIt’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 IMPRESSIONHonestly, 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.CONCLUSIONI 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.CONCLUSIONI 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.
