Neversecond C30 Energy Gel, Performance Nutrition & Hydration, Never2 Energy Gel for Ultra Triathlons, Cycling & Marathons (Passion Fruit 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 others Consistency - 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 marathon Nutrition - 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 do Taste - 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 me Size - 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

These are fantastic . Had them provided on a half marathon course and I’m so grateful I did bc I’m not sure I’d have tried them otherwise. They’re not thick, go down easy, and the passion fruit is truly delicious.

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.

Best GEL hands down! I recommend this to everyone endurance athlete. Worth the price! Tastes great! They have caffeinated and non-caffeinated.

Es una buena opción de carbohidratos para comer mientras hace ejercicios luego de 90 minutos. Buenos sabores, no se sienten muy dulce, más bien saben a cítrico y el plus es que son electrolitos al mismo tiempo. Caen bien en el estómago, líquido y no necesitas tomar agua para que se absorba.

Great!

It tastes great, refreshing, and can tell it’s adding to your body’s energy sources.
