GU Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel - 24 Count (Cherry Lime)

Standard energy gel with a decent taste.

Very effective. However the consistency isn’t my favorite nor the flavor. However if you in thr marines and you’re hiking back from being in the field of a week and you haven’t eaten anything except MRE for a week, this stuff will keep you from passing out on that hike so long as you drink water. I’ll always carry a few for my marines when in a tough spot. 10/10 would recommend, has saved a life or two.

Doctor recommended and helps keep up stamina. Easy to carry

Only sent me 1 gel pack instead of a 24-count box that I purchased for $50!!! . Please send me entire box that I purchased.

I'd been using the normal Gu for quite some time -- Vanilla Bean flavor -- and found that it worked fairly well. The occasional minor stomach issue, but no big deal. I've never been a big fan of the very thick consistency, and since I was working my way through a large box the vanilla flavor started getting on my nerves.I decided to "upgrade" to Roctane and thought that switching over to something with a fruit flavor would help break me out of my vanilla rut...The good: Roctane has a considerably thinner consistency, which is awesome. Easier to eat, doesn't coat the mouth/throat as much, and feels much easier on the stomach. I also feel like the extra caffeine gives me a small bonus boost. And the BCAAs? I have no clue, but apparently they help with carb uptake. I can't measure that. Energy levels feel pretty much the same, but MAYBE a bit faster acting with Roctane. (Could be totally psychological since these things are damn expensive and I want them to work better.)The bad: The cherry lime flavor that I bought tastes like jellied, chemical-infused regret. Ugh. Almost laughably bad. I brought two Roctanes and a plain Gu Vanilla Bean on a recent long run, and ate the Roctanes first. The vanilla Gu was like a delicious special treat after the Roctanes.So, four stars, mainly due to taste.Next time I'll try the Vanilla Spice flavor.
