Warnings
Made on equipment that also processes milk and soy. This product contains caffeine, which is not recommended for children 18 and under or pregnant women.
I used this on a 4mi hike as a quick boost to keep me going. It was very easy to open and worked well for the purposes of delivering that extra boost to keep me moving.
The flavor is a different matter. While I realize this is a concentrated gel - salty tangerine isn't the easiest to get down. You may need to chase it down with a few good swigs of water.
The consistency is a bit thinner than other gels I've tried making it easier to swallow (if you can get past the taste)
Though I didn't like the taste so much, I would recommend this as it did what an energy replacement gel is supposed to do.

This is a good way to add some energy while out and about or exercizing. The packaging also makes it very portable which is helpful. Compared to some other products in the category this flavor isnt bad, but it is still far from delicious.

I do not know if this really provides an energy boost because after one small taste I could not finish the packet. The tangerine flavor is awful.

I found this product had a very medicinal after taste. The consistency was fine and it went down well with water but it left a bad taste in my mouth and even made my tongue tingle.
