Maple UnTapped

Risky as it may be, I am trying a new fuel source at the height of my marathon training. I have been struggling with options I have used through the last several years and was ready for something new. My Untapped Maple has now fueled many miles and there are no gut issues. The flavor is fantastic and energy is a good boost without the crash. Digging these a lot and happy to have this new option!

This product is without a doubt the best I have come across as part of my cycling nutrition plan. It’s definitely incredibly easy on my stomach (which as an IBS sufferer was vitally important). And how can you not like the taste of something so iconic. Plus I’ve read about the various health benefits of maple syrup in a person’s diet as well (look it up!) so it checks all the boxes for me.

Perfect: you know exactly what you’re getting in each pack: pure maple syrup. No chemicals or funky flavors. Easy to rip open & swallow without stopping. Gives me a steady reliable boost on long runs.

Awesome taste and packaging is so convenient to carry. A great value.

After using many of the "best" and "most advanced" supplements UnTapped is the only one that works to keep me fueled and without any distress. Including the epic 200 on 100 (208 mi) ride in VT last month where UnTapped was the only supplement I used!

This is the first item that doesn't give me digestive issues over the course of Ironman training! So happy to have found something that works!

A few reasons why I always grab a few Untapped packets before a ride: 1) It's a real food, not some crazy engineered cocktail of maltodextrin and fructalose galactose anhydrogenase with synthetic B-vitamins to boot. 2) Dare I say it works better than those goop packets (for me). I can put away two or three ounces of maple syrup per hour, easily, and not experience GI distress or bloat. Always a question mark for me if my body is going to tolerate the goo on any given day, never the case with Untapped. 3) It has naturally occurring antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals. If you need some extra sodium, the cocoa flavor is my favorite. 4) The flavor - I get to a point where I'm looking forward to the fueling, rather than dreading the fact that I may have accidentally packed a birthday-cake flavored gel in my jersey and subsequently may become physically ill mid-ride. All that is to say, this stuff just works for me. Tastes great, goes down easy, doesn't mix things up in the gut while I'm riding, and doesn't leave me questioning what I'm putting in the fuel tank during aerobic endeavors.

I am beyond thrilled that I found these syrup packets, thanks to my local running store. I have started training for longer distances where it’s really important to refuel mid-run. I’ve tried a few different gels and they are all disgusting. I have no idea how I would stomach them during a race. I’m so happy I found UnTapped because gels are gross and maple syrup is delicious. I can’t wait to use these during my half marathon next weekend!

Decided to try Maple Untapped--I like the "isotonic" gels in terms of not needing water to wash them down, but the taste is very artificial. These are pure, delicious, go down easy, provide quick energy, and there's no crash. Very stoked.
