U GEL (30g Carbs -120Kcal) Liquid energy gel by UMARA

I love the gels! Very easy to carry on my trail runs, to eat, and then put away. Great energy and super easy to eat. Goes down very easily. Have used during many long and super long runs!

I'm a runner without a lot of experience with nutrition (usually something like haribou is what I've historically opted for). For this year's Lantau 70 relay I opted for a different approach and used two U Gel packets during my 14km / 1,400m elevation leg. I'm pleased to report it felt like a much more integrated approach to what my body needed and was very easy on the stomach. I also didn't experience some of the cramping that occurred in the 2023 version of the race.

Great combination with UMARA gels of other flavour for in-race nutrition!! The gels are easy to be ingested as they are almost like juices and without the artificial tastes. Even for me with a sensitive stomach I can take one every hour or so and keeping my body in good condition with sufficient energy in this endurance race!!

TM not allowing bring a bottle or a soft flask of liquid so it was worrying for me as I used to have concentrated energy drink with me. Then I researched and consulted the intels…..U gel could be the solution….I didn’t think it would work so well but the gel being so liquid and not gluey made it so much easier to get down the stomach even without water. In other races I always had my water with me but TM is so strict that I could only rely on pocari/water provided by the organiser. Anyway, u gel really got into my block steam quickly even without water with it. Of course the trade off was I had to take it more frequently but it’s all fine given how fast it gave me the boost in energy! Thanks Elliot mate for bringing this to us! Highly recommended!!!

Used during a recent 50k race. Having been scarred by sickly sweet gels in the past, it was refreshing (pun intended) to try these ugels, which were easy to consume as they have quite a high liquid content. Good to combine with Usport to top up the calorie intake per hour.
