5.0 out of 5 stars First marathon, they worked great., February 23, 2006

By	Eric D. Telhiard (Pensacola, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used these gels while training for my first marathon and finally during the marathon 4 days ago. They were an invaluable tool in helping me finish. If you take one every 45 minutes, your energy level stays constant throughout the run. The Strawberry Banana flavor is also very tasty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the product in picture., May 11, 2006

By	Tonic (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

The actual product shipped was not the one pictured on this page. The ones in the picture above are the normal ones you would find at GNC, Vitaminshop, etc and I'm sure that most people are used to taking for races, games, events.

However, the ones Amazon shipped look different and are labelled "4x sodium" on the front of each pack. That translates to 200mg of salt in each packet. They taste salty, the texture is different/watery, and they require a whole lot more water to wash out the salty taste. The original powergels taste great, have great texture, and require about 8 oz of water to wash down (great for the middle of a foot race).

They advertise on each packet that we sweat out salt ("electrolytes") and need to replenish it with these gels. I just wanted carbs to finish the race. They're call carb gels, not salt gels. Try to find and order the originals.

But other than that, this is a great price for them and they work (even if they require more water to take down).

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Horrible, Gets the Job Done, May 15, 2008

By	Scott Sherman "Author: 'First You Fall'; Host... (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

These aren't the most delicious things you'll ever eat - the taste is a little bit off and chemically.

But they're certainly better than tolerable. And that fact that you're going to want to wash them down with plenty of water? That's a good thing - you're working hard, and you could use the extra H20.

Best of all, these get the job done. They keep me from bonking during my workout..the carbs are great and the caffeine can't hurt. Amazon's price is good, too.
