Description

Introducing CARB DOPE.  Gone are the days of "gels" that you have to gag down, or practically chew to consume.  Gone are the days of OVERPRICED "premium" gels that work, but are too expensive to use often.  And gone are the days of bulky, oversized mega gels that work, but taste gross.

Carb Dope addresses all the issue found with modern gels and solves them all.  In line with all Formula 369 products, Carb Dope uses simple ingredients with nothing extra you don't need. It uses a 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio that pairs perfectly with Formula 369 1:1 high carb mix.  It packs the "Goldilocks" number of carbs at 45g so you can take 2 per hour to hit 90g, or take one and supplement the rest with Formula 369.  And last but not least, we added a splash of real Lemon Juice for an unbelievable flavor that goes down easy and won't over power your taste buds.

Check mate. Game over. Formula 369 is the undisputed champion of Endurance Nutrition.

If I could bathe in the stuff I would. It’s absolutely amazing. I am Type 2 diabetic and have trouble keeping my glucose up. I have been using Formula 369 religiously, sipping from a bottle with 3 scoops at 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 minutes and then every 15 minutes during my ride. This is the only thing g that would maintain my glucose properly. Well, a few days ago I tried Carb Dope. After my initial 15 minutes I took a Carb Dope and was able to ride for an hour and forty minutes with only drinking plain water. Tried it on my next ride at the beginning and rode hour and forty-five minutes in only water. This has brought my fueling and glucose control to the next level as I am not a slave to the bottle anymore and am able to just drink water to hydrate and let the Caeb Dope aide in fueling!

This is hands down the best tasting gel out there. I like the fact that it is subtle, and mellow tasting, not one of those crazy over the top flavors. Absolutely no GI distress.

Can't beat these gels! You will not find another gel of this quality for $2 anywhere. I have tried many others, but when you look at the ingredients and nutritional values compared to the cost, nothing comes close to Carb DOPE! Can't wait when there are other flavor options to mix it up. Great product.

Ive tried a fair number of nutritional products and while the gel flavor, contents, taste, etc worked as expected, the packaging was a bit of a challenge. the 'outlet' of the gel is narrow, making it hard to squeeze the all the product out of the package. sometimes felt like i was trying to get all the air out of a balloon animal. squeeze one side and the gel just moved to the other side.

hate to give it a rough score when the gel worked, but when you can't get the gel out, makes it tough to make it work....

I’d say hands down the best tasting gel I’ve tried, it tastes more like a lemon drink than a gel. The fuel is great too. My one gripe is how big the packet is and how much you have to slurp down to get those 45g of carbs. This is just first impression gonna try them on some longer rides see how they go but unquestionably worth a try if you’re new here!

I love this stuff. One of the first gels that doesn't upset my stomach. I also like the fact you don't have to finish it all at once. Because of the shape of the packet it doesn't leak everywhere.

Awesome product! A friend introduced me to it. Tastes great and provides the nutrition and energy for long rides.

This is based on using the gel for distance trail running.

This gel is fine.It's a decent choice if you want added water, don't mind carrying extra water weight, and don't mind the larger volume of each packet vs a less watery gel.

I found that it was no easier to get the gel out of the pack than a less watery gel. Maybe there's a trick, but I haven't found it.

I found that the citrus flavor got old after about 3 gels. Not a terrible flavor, but not meaningfully better than most gels. Stomach was fine. For comparison, I can happily go for 6hrs on only Carbs Fuel gels (8-12 gels) or regular maple syrup.

I'd pick this over Gu gels for palatability or other gels with higher cost per calorie. Maybe better for very hot activities where water sources are sparse. Huge fan of the low cost/calorie approach. I'm returning to Carbs Fuel: they don't taste good, but the packets are smaller and lighter per calorie (I think; have not measured), and I don't mind consuming a bunch of them.

Convenient to carry along just the right amount of added carbs on my training.

I just started using this 2 weeks ago on my bike rides, getting in condition for 102 mile event in November. I like the large size , the taste is pleasant, and more fuel in my body seems to be helping me. And the lower cost compared to other gels is very welcome.

This is my main carb source on my long rides. Though it is a bit sweet, I can drink a little more water and it tastes fine. I’m glad I found this product. Also the price is appealing.

I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Ill be ordering more of these next time. I grabbed a few to try and I liked them a lot. Not exactly sure what the flavor is but it didnt upset the gut and thats a huge W in the fast carb space.

It took 1 sacrificial packet to get used to it… after that it was pretty good.

I love carb dope for the taste and carb dose that it provides. As an endurance cyclist, I’m targeting ~90g/hr. Combined with Formula369 in my bottles, carb dope helps me hit my fueling target with ease. I only wish the consistency was a touch runnier, as it can be difficult to consume while on the bike. In my experience, I need both hands to squeeze all of the contents of the packet as opposed to sucking it out.
