Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I've been training for a marathon since January and have been bringing a couple of the Vanilla Powerbar Power Gel packs with me on each of my long runs.

I've found that this product works best for me above all others because the consistency of the product is a lot less viscous and less thick than the other brands.

It takes A LOT less fluid to wash the Powerbar Power Gel pack down and it doesn't sit in my stomach like a rock.

I've used other brands and they have a tendency to give me an upset stomach, which is a total pain (no pun intended) when running 10+ miles. To the contrary the Powerbar product DOESN'T.

Each of these little guys give me the energy boost that I need mid-run to make it all the way through to the end.

Bottom line: The Powerbar Power Gel packs taste great, go down easy, and provide the energy supplement I need to get to my goal.

I use these when I run for over an hour. They taste great and are easy to use and carry.

I use the product before my early morning workouts and in the middle of my triathlons. I love that I don't need water immediately after taking the goo to wash it down. It also has a good consistency and hasn't ever upset my stomach.

When I run the 2010 NYC Marathon, I had to stop at Mile 23 for severe cramps. The medical team gave me plain salt and it really helped! I was able to finish the marathon (my first) in less than 5 hours. So sodium matters and Powerbar has 200mg of it compared to just 50mg on the GU (which was what I used during the marathon). Powerbar also has more carbs, more potassium and more content (41g vs 32g) and is less guey so its easier to swallow. It has however twice the sugar than GU (the sole reason I chose GU over Powerbar before). But I realize now that, sodium and carbs are the more important components in distance running so I've been using Powerbar since. I highly recommend this. Strawberry Banana tastes best!

I absolutely love the chocolate Power Gel. I think it tastes just like pudding and the density is similar to pudding which appeals to me; however, after about 3 hours of running I usually switch over to a different flavor like strawberry banana because it's not as thick. The more hours I'm running the harder it is to take in nutrition.

This product, however, is just tasty as a dessert and I can almost feel the actual energy blast I get from them.

During and after longer runs. Very easy to use even without water; best surprise: I didn't even notice in stomach.

Tastes great-no gross after taste. Really helps with cramps mid run, nice little energy boost.

I've tried most of the flavors and tangerine is the best. The caffeine is helpful, too.

I use this gel in training and in competition. I recently became a masters female racer. I believe in taking care of all parts of your running - training, recovery, sleep, nutrition and hydration. Mess up one part and you'll fall short. Take care of all parts and you reach your dreams. Race with powergel. Train with powergel. Repeat for about 20 years and make the all womens start at Boston at age 40! Dare to dream! Oh, and it only works if you are a woman.

I definitively prefer the orange flavour. Most digestible than the other ones. A bit on the sweet side, so I typically chase it with some water.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I have used Power Gels for years during marathons and long training runs, and I have never had a problem with them. They provide energy without any digestive issues.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I have tried others and keep going back to Power Gel - the thinner consistency is perfect for a quick take before your workout and during workout. I run long distance, - they pin nicely in shorts or I just started using Flipbelt -slide in and out easily. All flavors are good - with VIP discount the value is great!!

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

great before an early morning run. They provide a little wake up at 5am. Take with some water.I like them better than GU they aren't as thick and pasty as GU. I also use them during long runs and long bike rides. Use only water. If you take then with a sports drink you will get cramps from to much sugar

I love the chocolate PowerGel during my long training runs. It tastes good and is not difficult to get down like some other brands. I also like buying it in bulk because you save quite a bit of money and I'm not running to The store to get them all The time. The 1x caffeine helps me through my runs by giving me that extra boost.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

The thing with gels is everyone has their favorites for some reason or another. The powerbar gels are "that" brand for me. Good taste and have gotten me through a bunch of training and races miles.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I use it during bike or run workouts that will take more than 2 hours.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I need to eat during long runs to keep my energy levels up and PowerBar nail it for me with this product. Easy to take in, doesn't take too effort to digest it and you can feel the boost in a short while. I'm eating one every 20 minutes depending on the distance I'm covering and I can you I'm finishing stronger than I did before using this product.

2x Caffeine - Double Latte

This is the second box I've purchased. I read the reviews before purchasing that this product is pretty easy to eat during a work out and decided to take a chance. I usually CANNOT eat gels, chews, etc. without nausea, gagging, stomach ache, you name it. I CAN eat this one and have used 2-3 during long work outs without a stomach ache or heartburn. (10-12 mile runs)The product is thin and more like a drink than a gel. The flavor is mild. I can consume it quickly, wash it down with water, and keep going.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Caffeine in gels has been counter-productive in my experience (5 ironmans, aplenty marathons) - vanilla PG'els is all I use and it works. I'll never use any gel w/ caffeine based on negative training impacts.

I have been a runner for decades. This is the first time I used supplement, Power Gel in particular. A big pleasant surprise.

Gives a great energy boost when I am struggling to continue.

Easy to use just pull it off fuel belt tear open with teeth and squeeze.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Was given one on the course of my first marathon 11+ years ago and I have been a loyal customer of powerbar gels ever since. Easy to carry, tastes good and does exactly what they advertise. I think the flavors vary from person to person(strawberry/banana is my go to) but nothing else out there really compares.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I loves this product because the taste is good and it easy to eat. Some Gels are so thick they are hard to swallow while exercising.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I use this for bike and XC ski workouts over an hour. Blueberry - acai is my favorite non-caffeinated flavor. The packing is a little tedious to get every drop out while riding (using one hand at a time). I usually don't take them for running because I don't run for more than an hour, but once in a blue, if I feel very draggy and not running, taking a caffeinated one before the run (strawberry-banna) will perk me up.
