I have been experimenting with different gels and beverages to use during races and Hammer Gel has been the best by far. It isn't too thick and does not cause any stomach discomfort.

Hammer Gels are great especially for the runner with a picky stomach since it's a more natural option than the popular GU Gels. They definitely help give that extra energy boost at the end of long runs. The taste (chocolate) is a little bit bland, so if taste is your main priority, I would say stick to GU.

I've tried many different types of energy gels, and I have not grown tired of the hammer gels, especially the apple cinnamon flavor. When you need energy to sustain you on long training sessions and you just don't feel like eating, I like to have a flavor where I think - yum! and not bleck!

I am a competative runner/cyclist and have tried a variety of gel products. Hammer gel is the best by far...great flavor, not to sweet tasting, does what it says it will do...provides you with energy when you really needed it. Plus, it does not cause any stomach issues!
I do not go out for a bike ride or long run without my Hammer Gel.

Good for long hikes or runs

I switched to Hammer from GU's with much better results. Better sustained energy, no GI troubles and easier to take (not as thick or sweet as GU) ... I don't compete without my Hammer Gel ....

I have used Gu Rocktane for a number of years and was getting tired of the harsh, artificial taste. Preparing for a recent 100 mile trail race I decided to give Hammer gels a try as most aid stations would have Hammer beverages too. I was pleasantly surprised by the natural taste and ease on my stomach. Good stuff, I am a convert!

I use Hammer gels on my longer runs and for racing. I like that they are easy to get down (not too thick) and don't taste all that bad. The Vanilla is especially mild tasting for gel. The main sugar is maltodextrin, which is easier on my stomach than fructose or honey. And with only 2 sugar grams, they are much lower in actual sugar than most gels, which is also easier on my tummy.(total carbs are 21 grams, which is comparable to other gels.) Have to say, these are the only gels that don't give me stomach upset on a long run.

The fact that Hammer Gel is gluten free is important to me. In addition, the taste is also equally important and Hammer Gel does not disappoint. However, it gives me the energy to keep me going when the miles get long and without GI issues which makes it the go to Gel for me.

I was a faithful Gu user until I tried Hammer Gels. I prefer the taste and consistency, but I wish they made Hammers with more caffeine for the Wall.

Delivery failed. Ordered on a Sunday, got confirmation (several) that products had been shipped. Products arrived Friday or Sat. (5 or 6 days. Delivery was to late for me, had left town for IronMan race and had to purchase more products at the race expo. VIP membership failed in their promise of fast delivery.Never again.

use on long runs (10 -22) gives a boost but not as well as other products that really rock better. bit hard to open for me . but all in all a good product just not for me

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

I had highly recommend Hammer products, as I have read a lot of reviews and health maz. which rate all the gels side to side and Hammer came on top w/ little to no side effercts

I use Hammer gels during long training runs and races (10K-marathons). It has helped with various GI issues I was having with other gels and chews- I have never had any problems with Hammer nutrition. Huckleberry and raspberry flavors are delicious and caffeine free. I take 1 just 20 min before the run and then every 30-45 min during the race with plenty of water and I feel great.

Great taste

I try the Hammer Gel on a training run. I have the Apple Cinnamon ones and they taste very good. No stomach upset, quick results. I use them on my long runs now.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

I just walked my 1st half-marathon and was impressed by the Raspberry Hammer. I have a some-what sensitive stomache and this didn't even bother me...plus it tasted great.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

For a Hammer Gel that is very mild in flavor, this is the best of the four I've tried: Vanilla, Chocolate, Banana, & Apple-Cinnamon. The vanilla is not strong, and the gel does not taste too sweet. Like other Hammer Gels, it is easy on the stomach. This is now my gel of choice.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

I have a very sensitive stomach while running and other products used in the past contributed to them. This get went down easy and settled with no GI issues at all. Can't tell you how happy I am with that! I will be trying all the flavors at this point and will NOT be purchasing the old ones that I have used.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

If I am short on time or at work I use as pre-run snack before runs longer than 90 minutes. I also take along on my runs to suppliment energy drink. My stomach has trouble with other products but not Hammer gels.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

I consume one per hour on my long runs and it works as advertised. Be prepared; they are super sweet, but the apple tastes like apple pie filling, so pretty good stuff. Very gentle on the stomach and no sugar crash at all.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

I have tried them all. Hammer Gel is the BEST for GI issues. I love the flavors, too!!!

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

I used to use GU all the time but I thought I'd give this a try. It has a good taste and I find it is easier on the GI tract and easier to digest. I use this all the time now on runs longer than 8 miles. I find the package a little more difficult to "eat" from, though.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

Hammer makes some great products, and their gels are at the top of my list...especially since I think they have some of the tastiest flavors out there. I like that Hammer gels use such high-quality ingredients. Great for a quick boost before a morning workout or during long stretches.

tastes good and has a great consistency in the mouth that makes it easy to take

I have tried many energy gels and Hammer Gel is my favorite. I really like the raspberry flavor -- tastes like candy!

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

I would like improved packaging without sharp corners and a slit to tie empties to my shoe so I don't litter....otherwise...great

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

I like to use these while trail running or on long road runs. The Montana Huckleberry is my favorite.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Gel 12 pack Nutrition:

I use this for long runs and for my last marathon. The packet is more bulky than other gels, but it's not too sweet and has a mild flavor.
