To use the Honey Stinger Energy Gel, simply tear open the packet and squeeze the gel into your mouth. It's best to consume it during your adventures, like a long - distance run or a cycling trip, when you start feeling your energy levels dropping. Remember not to have too much at once as it's highly concentrated. Store the gels in a cool, dry place to keep them fresh. There's no special maintenance needed, just keep them sealed until you're ready to use.
