Clean, bright, and genuinely fruit-forward, it delivers \u003cstrong\u003e100 calories and 24–25 g of carbohydrates\u003c\/strong\u003e in a smooth, easy-to-swallow gel with no maltodextrin, no artificial ingredients, and no GI surprises. \u003cstrong\u003eCaffeine-free\u003c\/strong\u003e, vegan, gluten-free, and made in the USA — the go-to gel for athletes who want real fuel in a format that actually tastes good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ── FEATURE SECTIONS ───────────────────────────────────── --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReal Strawberry — Actually\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavour in this gel comes from \u003cstrong\u003estrawberry purée and strawberry concentrate\u003c\/strong\u003e — whole fruit processed into the gel, not synthetic flavouring added afterward. That distinction matters both in flavour and in digestion: real fruit carries naturally occurring compounds that your gut already knows how to handle, and delivers a clean, recognisable taste that doesn't have the chemical edge common in synthetic fruit flavours. What you taste is what's actually in the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo Maltodextrin — A Real Difference on Long Efforts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost conventional energy gels are built on \u003cstrong\u003emaltodextrin\u003c\/strong\u003e — a highly processed carbohydrate that requires significant water to digest and is one of the most common causes of mid-race GI distress. Hüma replaces it with \u003cstrong\u003ecane sugar and brown rice syrup\u003c\/strong\u003e in a \u003cstrong\u003e2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same ratio sports scientists have identified as optimal for carbohydrate uptake during endurance exercise. Real-food carbohydrates digest cleanly, and clean digestion is a meaningful performance advantage when you're two hours into a race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth Texture — Chia Seeds, Not Thickeners\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe characteristic smooth, applesauce-like consistency of Hüma gels comes from \u003cstrong\u003emilled chia seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than synthetic gelling agents. Chia seed powder provides soluble fibre that gives the gel its body without making it thick or sticky — the result is a gel that goes down easily at race pace without needing to chase it with half a cup of water. If you've struggled with gels that are too thick to swallow cleanly mid-effort, the texture here is a noticeable step up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaffeine-Free — Flexible Within Any Nutrition Strategy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Strawberries flavour contains no caffeine, making it the straightforward choice for athletes who manage their caffeine intake strategically — saving caffeinated gels for specific points in a race or avoiding caffeine entirely during training. It can be used at any point during an effort without affecting sleep or caffeine tolerance, and pairs freely with caffeinated products in a mixed nutrition plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInspired by the Tarahumara — Backed by Sports Science\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHüma's formula draws on two sources: the traditional running fuel of the Tarahumara — the Indigenous ultramarathoners of Mexico's Copper Canyon, known for running extraordinary distances on whole-food energy sources — and modern sports nutrition research on carbohydrate uptake and endurance performance. The result is a gel that respects both: real food at its core, optimised ratios on the science side.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ── SPECS TABLE ─────────────────────────────────────────── --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Huma Gel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943726985472,"sku":null,"price":3.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/1999\/8616\/files\/huma-chia-energy-gel-strawberry-caffeine-free-packet-front-hero.webp?v=1783610670","url":"https:\/\/crazeoutdoors.com\/products\/huma-gel-original-strawberry-energy-gel-caffeine-free","provider":"Craze Outdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
