Energy Gels - Isotonic

rovers_runner · 15-02-2022 11:41am #1

Anyone buying energy gels lately?

I see the UK won't ship them here now, used to buy from chain reaction or Wiggle, anyone have any good sources on the continent or Ireland?

Looking for isotonic ones primarily, SIS or High5.

You could try For Runners By Runners in Newry if you have no luck down here.

Edit: Amazon not adding any shipping restrictions if I throw High-5's into my basket!

You sure about that? SIS shipped to me in December.

Aside from that I'm sure I saw Holland and Barrett doing them too.

I also had a delivery from SIS, now my preferred choice.

If you like High5, I can highly recommend these guys, they're only a 10 minute drive from me, so have no experience of their online store.

Also kinetica gels are quite good and I've ordered plenty from them, normally 3 days delivery. Elvery's also stock them at the till.

Information regarding Holland and Barrett:

Holland & Barrett is 100% owned by LetterOne, which is ultimately owned by L1 Investment Holdings, a company founded by and run for the benefit of Russian billionaires Mikhail Fridman, German Khan, Alexey Kuzmichev, Petr Aven and Andrei Kosogov.

Petr Aven attended a Kremlin meeting of Russian Billionaires with Vladimir Putin on February 24th 2022, the day of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine (an independent sovereign democratic country). After the announcement of severe sanctions against Russian interests due to the invasion, Mikhail Fridman has stated in a company email “that war can never be the answer" and that his “fervent desire is for the bloodshed to end”. However he did not make explicit calls on the Russian government and leadership to cease their attack nor did he refer to it as a military invasion that was solely instigated by Russia. It was clearly a PR exercise to try to protect his wealth and commercial interests.

Purchasing products in Holland & Barrett contributes to the wealth of these men. There is no evidence that they have used their money or influence to encourage the Russian people to move against their government for provoking a war that has killed innocent children and triggered a massive refugee crisis.
