Spring Energy Gel - Electroride - 20 Ct - Sports Nutrition Energy Gels for Runners

Good product. Easy on the stomach. Goes well with added salt supplements. BUT, the price is getting more ridiculous each year.

I've tried a lot of sports drinks and drink mixes trying to find one that wouldn't make me gag by the end of a long run. Tailwind, cliff, GU, vega, scratch, nuun, they all start out ok, but a couple hours in and they just don't taste good anymore. Too sweet and too articfial tasting.So far I've used this mix on runs ranging from 1.5 hours to 5hrs. It sits well on my stomach and the flavor has stayed refreshing the whole time.The flavor does, however, take a little getting used to. The first sip, it reminded me a little of kambucha tea. A little bubbly and fermented. It's not, but the apple and mint combo tastes that way at first. After I got used to it though I found it very refreshing. Not too sweet.It goes down well with food and huma gels.The little packets it comes in are easy to open and the gel mixes well. It doesn't seem to have any trouble dissolving in water.All in all, it's the best and only product I've been able to run with for long distances and keep down.

The is good to use. Hi had one of the packs leak into the bag it came with. But there is no easy way to contact seller to correct the issue. Overall happy with it...

It’s spendy but worth the price.

The Spring Electroride hydration mix has everything I was looking for. It has essential electrolytes, the added mint helps freshen my mouth after taking several energy gels (which is important as the run gets longer), and the ginger helps keep my stomach settled. after 20 miles, I didn't have that nauseated feeling I normally experience. This mix also has some carbs and it's a great way of sneaking in some extra calories between gels. Most importantly, it has a light taste--doesn't taste sugary at all. You're left with more of the mint flavor, which is fine for me.

I love this product, I have used this on a 50 mile trail race, a few 50k's and it worked perfect, no cramping at all even during the high temps when I was sweating a lot. I love the taste and never got an upset stomach from it. This product works and that is the bottom line. This will be my only hydration mix going forward, no stupid powders to mix, pour it in, fill with water and run, it will mix itself up very quickly.

I liked the taste of this product, and would drink one prior to my long runs, but this product in no way has enough electrolytes to sodium pre-load or use for hydration during endurance exercise without additional supplementation.

If it were just an apple flavor I would probably love this. But the ginger really detracts from the taste, IMO.
