Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I used to take other gels. I always felt sick after taking them (either stomach cramps or nausea). Accel Gel is thinner consistency and tasty. I use it before I swim (regular practice and races) - it is very helpful for open water swims. It keeps my energy level high, and I never get cramps. I also use it for running, and in triathlon.Same thing, keeps your energy high and you never get cramps. I take one before and during long runs during. You never get that feeling that it is "stuck" in your throat (which you get from other types of gels).
I love this product, and the flavors are pretty good. I prefer the Vanilla and the strawberry kiwi.

I love that it's easy to take. It's smoother and less gooey than other gels. The vanilla flavor tastes great. I wouldn't go on a run over 10 miles without it!

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I have used the chocolate-caffeine for several longth runs, including 2 half-marathons. Less sticky and esaier to manage than other gels. Digests easily

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Really effective. And for me, they taste a bit better than other gel choices. Try the key lime...

I'm more comfortabel using these gels than my previous selection

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I am hypoglycemic and and have to be careful with my carb intake. This product has the 4:1 ratioin which is perfect for nutrition during a run. My husband loves this product too.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I can eat then for 24 to 30 hours and still get them in.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Gels, sport drinks, etc. are all so personal - one product doesn't fit everyone. This is my personal choice with its protein/carb mix. I eat one before my typical weekend long run (typically 10 miles) and another about halfway. I like the chocolate flavor best. Be sure to drink something with it.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Great balanced energy source. I have gone away from Accel Gels, but keep coming back. The carbs with some protein provide a quick, even energy supply that doesn't upset my stomach. Good flavor. Great results.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

One an hour while running ultras. Perfect.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

One of my favorites for halfs, marathons, and endurance cycling. Has some protein so you don't get a sugar crash.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I am hypoglycemic so I have to be very careful with carb intake. This has the perfect 4/1 ratio of protein to carb. Just enough carb to get me through many miles. Depending on the course I will use 3-4 in a half marathon and 5-6 in a full marathon

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Use for my long runs and 1/2 marathons and found it settled on my stomach better and worked faster in giving me the extra energy I need at the end of the run.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I put 4 in a 5 oz gel flask and add water to top and drink a sip every 10 miles while riding. It really helps keep my energy level high and keeps muscle spasms away. I prefer the chocolate and have been using it for years.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I use it for my marathons and Ironman competitions. It gives great energy with out the spike in blood sugar that most gels create. The added protein in Accel gel helps stabilize the blood sugar so the risk of stomach issues is decreased.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Great chocolate taste. I have found one every 10 miles very helpful on ultra runs. I used to drink a carbonated beverage for caffeine, but the carbonate binds to calcium and gives me muscle cramps. Just a little bit of caffeine helps with breathing and gives a needed energy boost. I use with occasional Saltstix.

This gel helps get me started on a long run and - if needed - gives me a mid-run boost to finish strong.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I use these during marathons, long runs and sometimes right before the speed portion of my work outs. The vanilla is not a strong taste so goes down easy. Really feel a pick up in my leg turnover about 1/2 mile after taking one. These gels took me all the way to a 3:13:07 finish at the Berlin marathon, not bad for a 46 year old female. Serious energy packed in these little silver packets!

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

taste is slightly below powerbar gels, that is why only 4 stars. easy to use. I feel they give me better energy boost than powerbar gels. They are more liquid too.
I recover better when I use pacific products, that may be part due to the gels but surely due to the endurox powder.
All in all I prefer over powerbar gels.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Great boost while on any run. Vanilla and Chocolate are by far the best tasting. Caffeine in the chocolate. Texture is thinner than other gels I have used. That takes some getting used to but the protein does improve stamina. Still use some carbohydrate based gels as well but Accel Gel is now my favorite.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I've tried tons of gel/ gu type samples over the years. Accel Gel is by far the best I've ever used. It's not thick, so if you're on mile 8 and need to take one without water you won't choke on it going down. The viscosity is great. I can tell within 15 minutes it's in my system. For a half marathon I'll use 2 of the Raspberry 40mg Caffine throughout the course. My only wish is that they made a variety of flavors in 40 mg caffine in the bulk packs that I buy. It's not chalky tasting like a lot of other gels.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

At marathon race time, I take one before the race and then about every 5 miles apart.
The 4:1 forumula helps to keep your muscles strong at the last 6 miles of the race

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

The consistency in these gels don't stick to your mouth--they can be taken without water (though recommended to do so). They all taste great, but I don't have that excessive sweet taste in my mouth afterwards.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I am running long trail runs and for long time have a problem to find gel which I can eat to 6, 10, 24+ hours in raw. Accel gel is the one it is pretty liquid, so it easy to eat, test good, have protein.... Awesome product

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I tried these on a 14 miler a couple of weeks ago. I usually use GU, Sports Beans, or the Honey Stingers chews. Someone had a bunch of these, so I figured I'd try it. The taste was nauseating, and the consistency is worse. It's runny and feels disgusting. Four people were around me when we decided to try them, I was the only one who managed to get it all down. And then 15-20 minutes later, my stomach felt quesy. I will not be using this ever again. The only reason it gets two stars is because I think it could have been worse (could have had to run out in the woods immediately). It took a few hours after my run for my GI tract to fully recover.

Have used this in a 40 mile bike race just this weekend. Much needed boost at the 25 mile mark. Worked very well on a 12 mile run 2 days alter also. First time I have used a gel and I was impressed.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I hate gels. But I love these!! All the flavors are good. The chocolate is awesome and the caffeine is great. The vanilla is next best. Every now and then I try another gel I pick up somewhere and it just can't compare. I think the protein helps with endurance as well. I think I will stick with Accel forever!

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I purchased this brand because of the 4:1 ratio carbs & protein, having a great taste is bonus! It is now the only gel I will use. Have tried most flavors, all are yummy & have a good consistency.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Great way to refuel on a long bike ride or long run.

Comments about Pacific Health Labs All Natural Accel Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Tried the chocolate gel today on my long run (mainly for the caffine and protein). Very watery, and too sweet for my taste. Caution with this gel; it contains milk products for those who may have sensitive stomachs. I will stick with GU.
