UCANEdge Energy Gel Shots, Orange Mango (12, 2 Ounce Packets) for Running, Training, Workouts, Fitness, Cycling, Crossfit | Sugar-Free, Vegan, & Keto Friendly

This gel tastes like a fruit smoothie and is easy on the stomach. With sugar-based gels like Gu or Maurten I tend to get a cycle of sugar-highs and crashes if I’m not constantly downing one every 40 mins. By the end of a marathon or a long run or ride I feel kind of gross. With UCAN I don’t get the quick sugar high, but I also don’t crash out as quick and I can space out my fueling a bit longer. These also aren’t sticky sweet so they go down smoother. It’s almost like a runny Greek yogurt consistency. Only downside is that they take an adjustment period to train the body to work with slow digesting carbs.

I’ve used so many different gels I’ve lost count, all of which either give me a stomach ache or provide sub par energy. These give me excellent long lasting energy and cause me no stomach issues. The taste is not great, but it does not matter to me if the performance is there. Highly recommend these for runners.

I used UCAN Edge Energy Gel Shots during my Marine Corps Marathon run, and they were a game changer. One of the most notable aspects of these gel shots is their taste – it's surprisingly good compared to other energy gels I've tried, which often have a medicinal or artificial flavor.But more importantly, they do their job exceptionally well. These gel shots provided me with the sustained energy I needed throughout the marathon. They were easy to consume on the go and didn't cause any stomach discomfort, which can be a common issue with other energy products.Whether you're a long-distance runner, a cyclist, or someone in need of a reliable energy boost for endurance sports, UCAN Edge Energy Gel Shots are a great choice. They not only taste good but also deliver on their promise of sustained energy, helping you power through even the most challenging activities.

I love the clean energy I get from this with zero sugar!! The gritty texture I can get over. I almost wish they had more of that exploding candy that was all the rage texture (iykyk I guess) but it’s really fine. The pineapple taste is decent. Overall I just really love the good mood I have from this and the energy I get to get through long runs and just throughout the day. Love these! I will also say that it says gentle on the stomach.. maybe so but every time I’ve taken it I have to find latrine fast or risk having to throw away my clothes to put it as nicely as I can. I do have IBS mixed, so take that with a grain of salt, some things do that to me and some things i wish did that to me after two weeks of the opposite happening. So in some ways it’s not a bad thing for me, but if you have a super sensitive stomach and you don’t like having to rush to a toilet then be aware. Otherwise incredible and I really only give it four stars for the gritty texture not because of my stomach issues. Work on the texture it would be 5/5 and I’d probably be using these more than just 1-3 times a day. Great substitute for caffeine!!! And great for a mood boost (who would have thought) definitely recommend!!

They are just what I needed to keep going!

Embarking on my journey to conquer the half-marathon, I found my secret weapon: UCAN Edge Energy Gel Shots, in the exquisite flavor combo of strawberry banana. These little packets of goo promised to be the turbo boost my running shoes never knew they needed. So, I stashed them in the high-tech vaults of my compression tights, ready to unleash their power mid-stride.Alas, my dreams of effortless energy were punctured, quite literally, during the final rehearsal runs. Not one, but two of these gelatinous grenades decided to go kamikaze in the outer realms of my spandex fortress, leaving me less like a slick, speed demon and more like a sticky, fruit salad on legs.Come race day, I thought I had mastered the art of gel transportation, only to discover that one of my squishy companions had yet again embraced its explosive destiny. There I was, crossing the finish line, not in a blaze of glory, but in a splatter of strawberry banana - a walking, talking advertisement for how not to fuel your run.In the end, while the UCAN Edge Energy Gel Shots did indeed add an unexpected edge to my runs, it was less about the edge of peak performance and more about the edge of how many ways one can unintentionally wear their snack. Who knew race prep included mastering the art of gel shot containment?

If you are a runner and you’re looking for gels, these are the best on the market. It’s easy on the gut, gives you plenty of energy and helps you stay focused while running.

Used these for my 50k ultra. Got to conserve some of my water. No tummy aches.
