Huma Chia Energy Gel, Variety, 24 Gels

I’ve tried so many gels over the years, and Huma is the only one I’ve consistently used for all my long runs, half marathons, and now marathon training. The flavors are incredible—light, natural, and they actually taste like a treat instead of something overly sweet or artificial. My personal favorites are Mango and Strawberry for non-caffeinated runs, and Mocha and Chocolate when I need a little extra boost. What really sets Huma apart is how gentle it is on my stomach. Even during hard efforts, I never feel that heavy or sugary crash that I’ve experienced with other brands. I also love that Huma is chia-based and made with natural ingredients—it feels clean, simple, and effective without relying on artificial additives. If you’re looking for a gel that tastes great, digests easily, and keeps you fueled without the stomach issues, Huma is hands down the best option out there. I recommend it to every new runner I meet!

I’ve tried a lot of energy gels over the years, and Huma Gels are easily my favorite. They taste like real food, not artificial syrup, and the texture is smooth and easy to take even mid-run. I love that they use chia seeds and natural ingredients—it actually feels like I’m giving my body something good instead of just sugar. They’re also incredibly gentle on the stomach. No cramps, no nausea, even during long workouts or races. The steady energy helps me avoid crashing, and I feel more consistent and focused during my runs. Flavors are fantastic (especially apple-cinnamon and strawberry), and the packaging is easy to open while moving. Overall, these gels are a great balance of clean ingredients, great taste, and reliable performance. If you're looking for a natural energy gel that actually works, Huma is the way to go

These are the only gels I can tolerate for long runs! Every other gel I’ve tried has tasted like chemical snot. These are perfect and have the texture of almost like an applesauce but not as chunky, which is really nice and tastes like real food. I love the apple cinnamon flavor of these and the ultra version. I also tried the chocolate caffeinated version and it tasted like real chocolate and the caffeine was subtle. I probably could have many of the chocolate kind as it was kinda rich. I could have infinite of the cinnamon apple though! These plus tailwind have been my first successful bonk prevention fuel

I tried three different flavors in my long run yesterday and they were delicious. The blueberry was my least favorite, but it was still good. The apples and cinnamon tasted like apple pie filling and was my favorite. I haven’t been able to use gels in the past because it causes me stomach issues. I have no issues with this product. I was a little bit apprehensive about the “chia” part, but the gel is smooth and easy to swallow while running. My only complaint is that when I opened the outer package, it was covered in strawberry gel because one of the gel packets had a hole in the side seal. It leaked all over everything. I’ve reached out through Amazon using the “get product support” link and contacted the company, but I still haven’t heard anything back. Mostly I just want a replacement gel for the one I lost. So for now, I give four stars because the product is great, but I haven’t had much luck with customer service

These are my FAVORITE running gels (I have now run 2 half marathons hehe). I love the flavors and the texture of these. The chia texture was a bit surprising at first because it almost tasted like an applesauce or jam. These were nice and easy only my stomach, but strong enough to keep me energized. As far as hydration I think that it's hard to say because I also take salt tablets but it's nice to know that these have some electrolytes too. I also think these give you a bigger serving per gel which help me stay full longer. I have repurchased this pack a couple times because it's THAT good. Would definately recommend if you are exploring different running gel options!

I can't say I've tried all nutrition options, but I've tried some of the typical options including GU, Stinger, Clif products, etc...in various forms, gel, blocks, chews, jelly beans, waffles, etc (you can see some in the associated photo). As I run farther distances my tolerance for the previously mentioned products is no good...I've noticed late in the run the flavor becomes difficult "enjoy" with the sweet or typical gel flavor becoming overwhelming and requiring a lot of water to overcome. The texture of the waffles is different and variety is nice, but later on in a run for me those are like trying to eat peanut butter...no good! Chews and jelly beans are nice every once in awhile but the chocking hazard and flavors become too intense for me over the course of a long run. This is where Huma comes into play!! These little gel like gems are great! I've run ultra distances on the trails with these and have had zero issues. They seem to contain the right balance of flavor and consistency that works for me. The consistency is very similar to apple sauce so not runny nor dense gel. I am able to open one up and consume in about 3 seconds without stopping, which even with GU I wasn't always able to do due to the thicker consistency. I actually find myself looking forward to having one when it's time, which I can never say was true for the other options I've tried. I don't think I've tried all of the flavors but I enjoy the apple cinnamon and strawberry the best so far. I haven't tried the plus version yet because I use salt caps during my runs and don't think I need the additional electrolytes. Unless something more magical comes along, these will be in my bag for every long run/race from here on out! Just as a point of reference, I run between 40-50 miles of week on trails around lake Tahoe and on my longer runs may consume 5 or more nutritional supplements (depending on temps, terrain, time, etc). Also, side note, I haven't had any strange GI issues with these (knock on wood) either so that's definitely a HUGE bonus! I hope this review is helpful and have fun out there!!

Taste great

I really like these, they are not a heavy gel, they work great, no stomach issues.

Excelente sabor (en su mayoría), no me cayeron pesados al estómago, su presentación es práctica y valen por el precio.

I do quite a few running events and I've used these for the past year. They store well and don't deteriorate, they taste good and best of all I don't have any side effects or nausea etc. Also easy to open on a run and won't slow you down. I'm just buying another pack.

Buenos, si sirven

These are way too sweet. Really hard to eat during a long (30km+) run. They made me feel sick because they were too sweet. Take out the added sugar. My suggestion take out the extra sugar that is added, the sugar and cane sugar.

Lo utilicé como complemento energético en carreras de entrenamiento de más de 20 KM y en maratones y me ha funcionado muy bien, no me ha generado malestar y he experimentado una mejora en el rendimiento físico.
