I don't consume energy gels often, but I have heard good feedback about SIS gels too. They rarely upset your stomach. SIS offers a good variety of tastes too, and they have "cakes" and other forms of nutrition. Most recently, I had a lemon cake/bake: https://www.scienceinsport.com/sis-go-energy-bakes-lemon-12-pack

What is this sorcery and why hasn't this reached our shores?? Oh man I can imagine this'll be good for any event and if you're already sick of gels, imagine alternating this with their Gel product on a really long endurance event, this solves most of the problems we cyclists have with getting tired or sick of gels during these events

If it's too good to be true it probably is..

@meamoantonio, just be thankful that this or such sorceries haven't reached your "shores"..

I am biased against anything that is this "processed". And, I worked in the biotech before quitting it after 15 years. Nothing this processed comes without its drawbacks...

So, I will stick to things are just natural or as-close-to natural. They might not make me super-human but will definitely not make me feel like crap or force me to crap water...:-)
