NeverSecondC30 Energy Gel, Performance Nutrition & Hydration, Never2 Energy Gel for Triathlons, Ironman, Cycling & Marathons (Citrus Flavor, 12-Count Pack)

I've been using these for the past two years. I use them frequently, every race over 10KM. Have used them for marathons and ultras (I prefer to eat sold food for ultras but these are my backups in case I have an upset stomach). Obviously there are several things to consider with gels so I'll breakdown the benefits here. Honestly I don't have much in terms of detriments, these are honestly the best gels I've found after trying Guu, Gatorade, Maurten, and a number of othersConsistency - this is key as they have a very liquid consistency. This means I do not have to take the gels near a water station, can take them anytime on a course. This allows me to keep to my clockwork 30 minutes for each gel for a marathonNutrition - I hope the calorie count is close to what Neversecond claims. After the Spring Energy debacle it's natural to be suspicious, but the weight in ounces does correspond to the possible caloric amount. Very important to me is the amount of sodium, 200mg. Maurtens has none which is why I moved away from them (heavy sweater). Neversecond is one of the very few gels to include a decent amount of sodium, probably plenty for most people who do not loose as much hydration as I doTaste - Regardless of the consistency and nutrition, if something taste like crap I'm not going to eat it. These have a sweet taste. This might turn away some people but in any hard race/effort I want as much sugar as possible. If you want zero sugar in your gels you really need to read about proper nutrition when exercising and the need to replenish your glucose levels. The passion fruit taste great, as does the mixed berry and cola. I can't comment on the other flavors but I know what works for meSize - Can easily stuff four to six of these in my shorts for marathons. Of course I wear split shorts with five pockets or a running belt. The package is a bit larger than a Maurten gel but the extra calories and sodium are worth it. I've never lost one of these while on a hard run because it would fall out.Downside? Wish they were cheaper, but then I wish everything was cheaper

I've tried almost every gel on the market over a several years. I would rate these in the top three. Actually, a good value because normally gels are $2.00 per ounce, these are 2 oz gels for $3.50. I like the Orange flavored gel the best. I'm a competitive mountain biker and I think they work as advertised.

This is good stuff! The taste is more than tolerable, not too sweet, not too funky! Mild texture and easy to digest.

Tastes great and higher in sodium (salt) than most other gels. If you sweat a lot you may need higher salt. About an hour into a hot ride, I switch to Never Second and feel more energy. My doctor said I probably need it.

Hands down one of my favorite gels!!!!

As an energizer and nutrient maintainer it is very good. It doesn't give you an incredible boost but the taste and digestion is very benevolent.

This is the best gel for carbs and electrolytes. And it tastes like fruit punch, for real.

Great!
