Description

GU Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel is the energy gel that started it all. In 1993, Dr. Bill Vaughn developed the world's first energy gel to help his daughter perform better during ultra-marathons, and GU has been helping to propel the world's most successful extreme athletes to success ever since. GU Energy Gel sustains all forms of athletic activity with a highly compact, portable, and calorie-dense packet that is loaded with carbohydrates that can be rapidly absorbed. Branched-chain amino acids limit muscle fiber damage and increase speed of recovery, and extra electrolytes help maintain water balance. Some flavors feature caffeine to increase concentration. While the original formula has been tweaked and evolved over the years, the end result is still the same: GU Energy Gels fuel the best endurance athletes in the world. GU Original Energy Gel comes in a wide variety of great tasting flavors. Each packet contains 450mg of Amino acids, 100 calories, and at least 21g total carbs.

  • Great Boost for Long Runs and Workouts!
Flavor Name: Assorted Flavors
I’ve been using GU Energy Packets for my long runs and intense workouts, and they’ve been a game-changer for maintaining my energy levels! The flavors are delicious (I’m a fan of the strawberry banana), and they’re easy to consume during my runs without slowing me down. The texture is smooth, and they’re easy to squeeze directly into my mouth for a quick energy boost. I’ve noticed a big difference in my endurance since incorporating these into my routine. They help to keep me fueled throughout the session without causing any stomach issues. I also appreciate the added electrolytes to keep me hydrated. If you’re looking for a reliable and tasty source of energy for your workouts or endurance activities, I highly recommend the GU Energy Packets! They’ve been a key part of my training and performance. ... show more

  • Assorted box flavor review and texture/effectiveness review
Flavor Name: Assorted Flavors
I ordered the 24-count Assorted Box. The reviews for all flavors are all lumped under this listing, so I will review each flavor individually. I will also comment on the texture and effectiveness. Flavors: My assorted box included Jet Blackberry, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Outrage, Tri-Berry, Strawberry Banana, and Vanilla Bean. Flavors are listed below in order of my preference. Chocolate Outrage: I waited to try this one until last, as I always favor a more fruity flavor when I'm hot and tired. This one ended up being a welcome surprise! It is SO GOOD! It literally tasted like brownie batter. I could honestly just eat this one as a snack. Strawberry Banana: A close runner up here. On extremely hot days or long runs I tend to go for this one, as I prefer fruity flavors. It is really tasty and is exactly what you would expect. It tastes like strawberry banana. Not too sweet, just yummy. Salted Caramel: This is the first one I tried, as I read reviews on how great it was. I have to agree. It is very good. It is extremely rich and sweet. I am OK with that, as it gives me a bit of a sugar/sweet pick-me-up. If you don't like too sweet, steer clear of this one. Tri-Berry: This one is just a fruity berry flavor. It is not too sweet.I would recommend this one if you prefer a fruity flavor and want a crisper flavor than strawberry banana. It is good for hot days, and doesn't linger in the mouth. Vanilla Beam: I have nothing bad to say about this one. It is a sweet vanilla flavor. It is tasty, just not one of my personal favorites. If I am going the sweet dessert direction I would choose Chocolate or Caramel first. Jet Blackberry: Some have commented that this is too sweet. I don't agree with that. It is a sweeter flavor than some others, but I thought it was fine. It was my least favorite, but I don't avoid them or anything like that. Texture: These are very thick. All flavors I have tried have had the same consistently. You will 100% want to wash them down with water. The first time I ever used an energy gel of any type, it was these. I grabbed one after the first 6 miles of my long run, when I was hot, sweaty, and out of breath. I gagged immediately. I was totally unprepared for the texture. Now I have no issues and can suck them down easily with a quick mouthful of water. Just be prepared for the consistency. Maybe try one before a run to get the idea. Effectiveness: After using these for several months, I can say that I don't feel any advantage when I take one before a run. I no longer use them pre-run. I only use them every 45 minutes during my run. I do feel a little energy jolt when I use them that way. No, I don't feel instantly energized. No, I don't instantly increase my pace. I just feel a little pick-me-up. For me, that is enough. Sometimes during a long run that little jolt is enough to get you through the next few miles. Overall I highly recommend these! ... show more

  • Great Benefits, but Flavor?
Flavor Name: Assorted Flavors
This was my first time trying gels for running/working out. Boy was I thrown when I tried it for the first time on my 6 mile run. Helped hydrate and keep me energized, but DAAAAANNNNGGGGG girl did that slap my taste buds and the texture threw it’s own Diddy party in my mouth. Absolutely try it before you work out or run, to get used to the first time shock. A great variety of flavors and I am drawn more to the fruity flavors, rather than the chocolate and caramel flavors. ... show more
