365-day guarantee. Free shipping over $50.
-
Four ingredients. All of them food.
Raw wildflower honey, ancient sea salt, magnesium from the Great Salt Lake, potassium from a mineral deposit. Nothing you'd need to look up.
-
Real, raw honey. Not maltodextrin.
Most gels are maltodextrin and corn syrup engineered to feel like fuel. This is the fuel people have run on for thousands of years, never heated above 95°F so the enzymes survive.
-
It won't wreck your gut at mile 18.
Honey is food your body already knows how to digest. "First run in 15 years that did not have any type of belly issues." Franciine S., 20+ marathons and ultras
-
Energy that holds. No wall.
Honey is glucose and fructose together: the glucose works now, the fructose keeps coming behind it. Steady fuel from the first mile to the last.
-
Electrolytes built in. Fewer cramps.
Sodium, magnesium, and potassium in every packet, so you're not stacking a salt tab on top of your fuel.
-
20g of carbs. 340mg of electrolytes. On the label.
The same numbers you'd check on any gel, from ingredients you can actually name. No guessing what a packet does for you.
-
Proven on race day.
Chicago, NYC, 70.3s, a double Ironman. "I used four of these to keep me fueled for the Chicago Marathon." Matt F., 18 years of running
-
Tear it, eat it, keep running.
One 20g packet fits a flip belt or a vest pocket. Sip of water, and go.
-
It's thicker than a gel. That's the honey.
Real honey has body to it, and a few people take a packet or two to adjust. Then it flips: "the first gel I have used that my body actually craves." Billy W., 10 years on GU

If it doesn't work for you, we refund it. 365 days, no questions. Most brands give you 30.

What Runners Say After the Switch.
I used four of these to keep me fueled for the Chicago Marathon. I have been running for 18 years and have always struggled with finding an energy gel that didn't upset my stomach and digested well. This is my new fuel source going forward.

I recently completed the double Ironman in Wisconsin and used this as my primary fuel source throughout 2 back-to-back Ironmans. I've done over 40 Ironmans and can tell you the strength, stamina, endurance when using this product is unparalleled.

I was looking for something that was natural and didn't slow me down or make my stomach hurt while training for a marathon. Pungao has been a game changer for my endurance and also delicious.

This was my first time using Nectar on my long run for the week. I took it at the 45 minute mark of my run and it definitely helped me finish the second half of my run. It was the first time I've run this far without stopping for a walk break!

The deeper I got into ultra running the more I reassessed the types of supplements and fueling strategies I employed. Pungao fits perfectly into my new paradigm of healthier alternatives that also meet my fueling requirements. It took a little getting used to because of the thickness, but did great with a water chaser! Excellent taste and real world success during events!

As a long distance runner competing over 20 marathons and ultras, Pungao has been the first "gel pack" that delivered clean, gut friendly, great tasting needed nutrition on runs. Thanks, this is a keeper!
