Great energy source for running and gym workouts Jun 03, 2009
By Stephen M. Charme This tastes great, does not require mixing with water, is low in sugar, and for only 90 calories per serving gives 23 grams of carbohydrate.
Often I go straight to the gym from my office in the evening before I eat dinner. I used to eat a protein bar to get me through my workout and then 5 mile run on the treadmill. Now I just take one serving of gel before my workout, and another serving before my run, and I am fine--no hunger pains, and much less calories and sugar, but more carbohydrates, than a protein bar.
When I do my 10 mile runs outdoors, one serving before and one serving midway gives me all the energy that I need. I noticed a difference right away from the energy level from the protein bars that I used to eat. The gel is superior, and requires no time to digest.
I highly recommend this product. I also suggest buying the regular flask (not the more expensive pliable one) that Hammer Nutrition sells for as an easy way to carry and consume this gel.
Update October 25, 2011: I recently bought a jug of the chocolate gel, which previously I had been using in individual packs. While the gel itself is great, unlike other flavors that I have used in a jug, the chocolate is very thick and a bit more difficult to dispense. Also, I usually put the gel from a jug into a container with server markings. But I gave up doing that with the chocolate gel since I had trouble measuring out the servings since the chocolate gel is so dark and coats the sides of my container.
Bottom line: Hammer Gel is great, but I probably will not buy a jug of the chocolate again since I did not realize how thick it was compared to other flavors.

Hammer Gel May 28, 2009
By W. Calhoun I have switched from GU to Hammer Gel. I like the flaver better and it is not quite as thick which is a plus. I am impressed with Hammer's research and attention to detail in the preparation of their products.

Rapid Energy Fuel Aug 11, 2008
By Edward Rasen Jr.
"ExecEditor"
I have used Hammer Gel for climbing Mount Whitney (14,500') in a dawn to dusk hike; for lesser mountains but longer climbs such as Mauna Kea (13,500') on the Big Island of Hawaii; and, for 5K competition races. I particularly like that it is ultra low sugar so you do not get insulin spikes. Also, you can drink it right out of the container without mixing, if you so desire. I think all the Hammer products are great and recommend such for serious athletes or active persons who spend more than two hours climbing, running, jogging, bicycling, kayaking, swimming, windsurfing, etc.

Caffeine included in Tropical flavor Sep 16, 2011
By R. Davis I got my 20 oz. bottle of Tropical gel and used some right away. Seemed to do me just fine on an hour-long run. The taste wasn't great, though. I was a little surprised, though, to find caffeine (25mg) listed as an ingredient. It was very surprising considering that the Amazon description states that the only flavor with caffeine is the espresso one. I feel a little cheated there since I wanted something without caffeine. The Hammer website does show caffeine, so it's Amazon's fault really. I'll try another flavor next time.
