Product 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 good tasting flavors. Each packet contains 450mg of Amino acids, 100 calories, and at least 21g total carbs.
From the manufacturer

GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel
Perform better with fast-absorbing energy from complex and simple carbohydrates.
Enjoy the journey with flavors that always hit the mark.
Recover faster with branched chain amino acids that decrease muscle damage.
Fuel for athletes, for training and competition
Branched chain amino acids reduce mental fatigue, decrease muscle damage, and improve cardiac output during exercise.
Electrolytes maintain water balance and aid in optimum hydration for everyday training and recovery, as well as during sustained, high-intensity efforts.
Caffeine enhances performance by increasing focus and concentration. It can also decrease perceived effort during exercise.
Carbohydrates deliver ready to use energy and delay bonking by sparing glycogen, which the body can quickly turn into fuel when needed.

- Reviewed in Canada on November 23, 2024Verified PurchaseI use Gu gels for marathon training and racing. They are convenient to carry and easy on the stomach. The taste is consistent and having different flavour options and caffeinated and non-caffeinated. I also like that some gels have more sodium for warmer races and training. For the price and quality I think Gu can’t be beat, especially compared to other options like Maurten. I’ve tried a ton of different flavours and Gu’s have helped me train for all race distances.

Reviewed in Canada on August 9, 2024Verified PurchaseTrès bon produit..efficace pour les sorties de vélo
- Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2024Verified PurchaseGreat size of these; purchased these to help me when I'm on longer rides 50km+. Gave them a try as directed (5 minutes before starting) for a quick 25km ride to boost my energy. Before the ride, I was pretty tired; the gel got me going the entire trip without feeling tired. As others mentioned, it goes down with water... it is a gel texture, if you take it in small pieces it goes down easer and better that way for your stomach to take it.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 26, 2023Verified PurchaseUsed 2 and a half packs on ascent of Manaslu - 8163m in Nepal. I was afraid to use more as I did not know how my body will react to just eating sugar for more than 10h. Not sure they helped much but I did not get sick. Did not want to eat more as I was afraid I may get sick.
At least I know few packs is safe for me per day. Even in the death zone. You need to know that over 7000m almost all digestion stops and over 8000m you cannot eat anything. Here basic sugars are important as they do not require digestion or such needs are almost zero.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gu Gels - top tip for long runsm Tri-Berry the best flavour
Verified PurchaseGu is the go-to for in-run fuelling. Tri-berry is my favourite flavour, although I would say it was a long time ago that a berry actually imparted any flavours into a Gu. That said, to me it tastes the best of all the flavours, and at 20mg of caffeine is going to give you a boost without turning your belly into a warzone...
