Greater than one weekThe ease of use and the results within a few minutes keep me using these gels. I ride bicycles hard (20+ Mph) for 2-3 hours at a time. These gels help a quick recovery during the ride.

> 3 dayI tried other things before this that were meh and bleh and didnt really do what I needed. THIS however, is absolutely amazing and I seriously wouldnt run without it. Tasty. Very tasty. And it really works. I feel it kick in, literally, and Im good to go. No bonk. No hyper rush. Just good and steady necessaries for the workout.

> 3 dayThis stuff is fantastic. Tastes great. Easy to ingest. Gives almost instant and sustained energy. Not too much caffeine. Theres no sugar rush - the impact seems to last a good 30 - 45 minutes, depending on the level of exertion. I didnt ever get the jitters. I would alternate one of these and the Gu Endurance Energy Drink and water. This was my first, but definitely not the last time using these. I used these on a 500-mile ride over 7 days. I tried to stay ahead of the bonk. I didnt want to overdo it. But as soon as I felt my power level drop or a knew there was a big hill, I would tear one of these open and squeeze it into my mouth. It tastes delicious - like a dessert or a liquid candybar. It would take 5 to 10 minutes to kick in. But when it did BAM! My riding partners could notice the impact. When I would sprint to the front of the paceline, theyd say He must have had another Gu. YES, I DID! LETS GOOOOO! I also used the Gu Roctane Endurance Energy Drink (both with and without caffeine), Gu stroopwafels, and the Gu Roctane Protein Recovery. Its all that I would consume until dinner. This combo was enough to sustain me every day when riding and left me feeling great. The only thing that I wasnt happy about was that a few of the packages leaked. I wish I figured that out before I was on my trip. Fortunately, I kept them in a Ziploc bag, so the mess was contained. Still, my fingers and feedbag got gooey and sticky every day. The good news is that it washes easily with water. Even with the leakers, I still give this 5 stars.

> 3 dayI use these when I suddenly become hypoglycemic. They bring my sugar up to a level that allows me to get it back under control without needing a hospital visit.

> 3 dayAdmittedly, the “thicker” flavors are a bit more difficult to get down, especially if the get cold. But I’ve adapted to it. I’m not sure there’s a Gu flavor I don’t like. I’ve been using them for years and will continue to. I also like that they participate in the TerraCycle zero-waste program.
