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.

  • Delicious Fuel for my long-distance runs
Flavor Name: Chocolate Outrage Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
Portable, high-energy, and delicious. I’m new to distance running but Gu’s are so ideal for that morale and energy boost it gives me about 45-50 minutes into the run and about every 45-50 minutes afterwards. Some guys say to just suck it down, but I enjoy the taste. The package is very functional and sucks down flat to pack away. I have a number of these in my collection. My favorite two are Chocolate Outrage (the name makes me laugh), and the Raspberry Lemonade ones are fantastic. ... show more

  • Great product when golfing
Flavor Name: Assorted Indulgent Flavors Size: 24 Count (Pack of 1)
Love these when I am golfing. I use one for 9 holes around hole 4/5 and two or three for 18, along with a PB and J. Great taste. Gives the energy you need. Small packets fit in golf bag. The chocolate and salted caramel are my favs.

  • Great fuel for your run if you are a chocolate lover like me!
Flavor Name: Chocolate Outrage Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
This is my go to for fuel during a race! It does have a thick consistency so it is best used with water to help with that. It has a great chocolate flavor without that artificial flavor after taste. It’s so easy to use so it won’t slow you down on the go. The caffeine is just right if used as instructed. I recommend using during training runs to see what works best for you come race day. They are a great price compared to what I see at most expos. I recommend buying prior! ... show more

  • Works great, tastes even better!
Flavor Name: Chocolate Outrage Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
Tastes like chocolate pudding! All I've heard from the running community about gels is that they're so disgusting and you just have to choke them down. I'm training for a marathon right now and since there will be GU gels available at the race, figured I needed to incorporate them into my long runs. Went with the chocolate flavor because it was on sale (I'm more of a fruity girl so this was a risk). Well I tried these today during my 17 mile long run and all I could say was WOOOOW! This was like having dessert on my run! It was a sweet, silky, delicious chocolate pudding in a compact, easy to carry tube. If anything it tasted too good, I just wanted more immediately! I didn't necessarily feel any kick of energy, but my muscles kept working and I didn't hit a wall. That's all you can ask for, I think. I took a total of 2 gels and ate a banana. Great combo! They didn't hurt my stomach at all. I have a stronger than average stomach I'd say, so probably don't take my word for it unless you're the same. Overall, I highly recommend! ... show more

  • WOW! get some
Flavor Name: Chocolate Outrage Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
This is not my go to supplement for my long runs. The taste is really good compared to other gels I have had. Normally I’m a textured type of person and tips it’s not right I can’t swallow it. This goes down so easy and taste really good. I open one pack for every 40 mins of running. It does give you a little boost of energy needed to get through my run. I do take it with water and it’s help with the hydration. It packs are just the right size it fits perfect in my running vest. ... show more
