I never understand why people take these.
The human body has around a 3000 calorie store of glycogen in the liver. After that it will start burning fat. These gimmicks are just useful for the electrolytes so therefore why not just drink water with an electrolyte tablet dissolved in it!?
If you need more energy than the ~3000 cal store in the liver you should be asking yourself whether you are pushing yourself too hard and damaging your health as your body is not designed for that kind of energy expenditure.

Nice price, although these are a little thicker than some gels, and not to mention the gas they give you .lol. other than that great things.

Good deal.
Why do we use these, because carrying water when running or doing other sports is rather difficult. Stopping and waiting for a tablet to dissolve in a drink would rather destroy your times. Generally speaking if you wait for your energy to drop to zero it is too late. Most sports people would benefit from these when an event or training lasts longer than around an hour, as the concensus is the body will use reserves by this time. I am no doctor but my experience in following these guidelines compared to using just water or nothing show a substantial difference in performance. Others may experience different results.

I saw a guy taking a gel about halfway into a parkrun 5k. :disappointed:

If you're a cyclist just stick some maltodextrin or actually any type of sugar in a bottle and be done with it.
And the guy above talking about burning fat after glycogen stores run out has no clue at all.
Your body will always use fat as a fuel source, however the further up the zones you go the more your body needs to burn glycogen, all the way up to threshold and past it to anaerobic. The percentage of glycogen increasing dramatically the harder you're going.
Once that runs out, your body has to purely rely on fat, which is can't convert quickly, hence you hit the wall, or bonk, depending on your sport. Even the best fat adapted keto athletes can't ride or run at the highest intensities without sugar. Your body simply cannot convert fat fast enough.

Not the point. You don't always want sugary water! Gels are convenient. They take up very little spacec
