Arrived quickly. Love the lemon and mango pineapple flavour hydro tablets. Neither are too sweet. Feel better after a workout when I’ve had one of these

I've been using SIS for years, never had any G.I issues from either the standard gels or the Beta fuel. Both options have a good variety of smooth tasting flavours.
I had never subscribed until recently, now I have a monthly supply of all the fuel I need at a very good price with all the convenience of it being delivered to my doorstep. All in all, a great service

I like SIS gels for marathon and ultra training, and I recently ordered a new (new to me, not to the brand) flavor, apple. After a 16 mile run, during which I consumed mostly SIS gels for fuel, I felt really weird with a racing heart and breathlessness. After examining the package, I discovered that this flavor has 200mg of caffeine in it, and I had consumed multiple packets! I completely overdosed on caffeine and felt awful the rest of the day.
Although SIS says its label “nootropics” is intended to “signal caffeine,” I don’t know why they wouldn’t just say “contains 200mg of caffeine” on the front of the gel, like other brands do. With other gels that might only have 25-35mg of caffeine, it is clearly written and highlighted on their packaging. This SIS gel says on the back, under directions (and who reads directions on a gel?) that only one should be consumed per day. These are sports gels, which athletes might typically consume several of over the course of a long endurance effort! Maurten, Gu, and all the other brands clearly state on the front of the package not only that they are caffeinated, but often how much caffeine is in a gel. I am a seasoned runner, and this was not my first time with SIS gels or caffeine or long runs. But I feel like the packaging on these gels is not only unhelpful but actually dangerous. I paid for my experience the rest of the day and into the night, and the disrupted sleep because of the overdose resulted in me paying for it the next day too. SIS needs to clearly state on the front of every gel package if it has that much caffeine in it, and if it’s a gel that should only be taken once a day!
I am disappointed that in their response to this review, the company dug in instead of acknowledging that their packaging could be clearer, as are so many of their competitors’. Nevertheless, I like and will continue to use SIS gels because they work for me.

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we’re really sorry to hear how unwell you felt after your run.
We’d like to clarify that this is not a new flavour or product type. Our nootropics range has been part of our offering for years, and the product is labelled accordingly as the term “nootropics” is intended to signal that these gels contain a significantly higher caffeine content than standard energy gels.
Because of this elevated caffeine level (200mg per gel), we clearly advise on-pack and on our website that these should be consumed with care. Guidance is provided in the suggested use section, including the recommendation to limit intake to one gel per day and to read the directions before use particularly when trying a product that differs from your usual choice. We also always encourage customers to reach out if they are unsure about a product before using it.
We understand that in endurance sports it’s common to consume multiple gels, which is exactly why these specific gels carry additional guidance around intake.
We’re very sorry again for your experience and hope you’re feeling fully recovered now. If you’d like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly.
Best regards,
Team SiS
