Hey everyone, I'm training for my third marathon and always looking for natural energy boosts without the jitters. Saw these Olly Energy gummies at the store - caffeine free with B12 and CoQ10 sounds perfect for my long runs. Has anyone actually used these during endurance training? Do they give you sustained energy or just a quick sugar rush? Also curious about the berry yuzu flavor - is it too sweet?

OMG I've been using these for 2 weeks now! As someone who's trying to cut back on my 4-cups-of-coffee-a-day habit, these have been a game changer. The energy is much smoother than caffeine - no crash at 3pm. The 1000mcg B12 really seems to work for me. But honestly, the flavor is AMAZING - like fancy gummy candy. My only complaint is they're so good I have to stop myself from eating more than the recommended 2 gummies!

Skeptical tech guy here. I've tried every supplement under the sun for those late-night coding sessions. The ingredients look decent on paper - B12 for energy metabolism, CoQ10 for cellular energy. But at $15-20 for 60 gummies, that's about $0.25-0.33 per dose. Has anyone done the math on whether this is actually cost-effective compared to traditional B12 supplements? Also, the 'extra strength' claim - is there any data backing that up?

Thanks MindfulMila48! That's helpful. I might give them a try for my weekend long runs. FuelFrank raises a good point about cost though. I usually take a B12 tablet that costs about $10 for 100 tablets. The convenience of gummies vs tablets might be worth the extra cost if they actually work better. Has anyone compared the effects to regular B12 supplements?

FuelFrank - I hear you on the cost! I was using a B12 spray before this that was cheaper per dose, but I never remembered to use it consistently. With these gummies, I actually look forward to taking them (they're that tasty). As for 'extra strength' - the 1000mcg B12 is higher than many supplements I've seen. The combo with CoQ10 and goji berry does seem to work synergistically for me. EarthElias - they definitely don't give me that sugar crash feeling, but I'm not running marathons either!

Alright, you've convinced me to at least try them. Ordered a pack on Amazon - should arrive tomorrow. I'll report back after a week of using them during my late-night gaming/development sessions. If they can keep me focused past midnight without the caffeine jitters, they might be worth the premium. Still skeptical about the 'goji berry' marketing though - seems like buzzword ingredient padding. Anyone know what that actually adds?
