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 June 25, 2024Verified PurchaseJ'aime bien que le goût soit peu prononcé. Ne colle pas dans la bouche, une simple gorgée d'eau permet de se rincer la bouche.
Donne suffisament d'énergie pour les entraînement omme pour les courses en utilsant le dosage prescrit.
Rien à redire mais il faut aimer les bananes :D
- Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2024Verified PurchaseAs a longtime runner..I could not resist this amazing price..having sampled this flavor before purchasing. So..my advice would be..before ordering....pick a flavor you really like and one that you know you can easily digest..because you get 24 of them. Mqny folks enjoyed the Clif Shot gels before...however .they were recently discontinued...which prompted me to buy several flavors of GU gels. This flavour was one " of several " I settled on, but because of it's great taste and easy on the stomach, this was the one I finally chose. The expiry date is August 2025. If I had one more piece of advice to give..you probably can do much better pricewise on 鶹 as these are $2.69 each at many running/fitness stores..so you can save a lot if $$ by buying here. Happy Running!

- Reviewed in Canada on April 20, 2025Verified PurchaseGreat product. Helped me fuel by half marathon. Bought it for about $40 CAD last time however now the price has shot up to $70 so moving moving on to other brands.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 27, 2024Verified PurchaseIt’s not a great flavour but it’s not gross either. It’s kind of like jam. I’m okay with the flavour because I won’t be tempted to eat them as a midnight snack
- Reviewed in Canada on May 5, 2025Verified PurchaseAs expected

Reviewed in Canada on November 18, 2024Verified PurchaseUn hit ici, notre saveur préférée banane fraise !
- Reviewed in Canada on June 28, 2024Verified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
Definitely an interesting consistency. If you have not had energy, jealous before, they almost reminds me of fruit, flavoured toothpaste, for a reference to consistency LOL. But they definitely serve their purpose. The strawberry banana flavour is nice and not too sweet, I would recommend getting a multi flavour pack so you have different options as sometimes when you’re doing a long endurance sports you can get tired of the flavor, but they do serve their purpose and they were able to give me the sprint of energy that I needed to complete my event.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quick energy boost
Verified PurchaseThe taste was not for me, I prefere the chocolate flavor, but they work great for my bicycling adventures, and they kick in quickly with pure energy boost that you feel.
I will continue buying,

5.0 out of 5 stars Gives me the energy I need
Verified PurchaseMy long runs aren't that long in the scheme of things - about 7 miles. However I am just beginning to do 5+ miles regularly and now working to push beyond that. The nature of my work sometimes lead me to not eat the right carbs during the day to ensure I have energy for a run in the evening. I eat a GU about 15 minutes before I head out, with 4 oz or so of water and that gives me enough boost to get going. About 30 minutes in I eat another one and so far that's always led me to have the fastest splits of my run at the end, when that second GU gets into my system.
It tastes good to me - more pronounced banana than strawberry. It's thick for sure and so I normally swish it around in my mouth before trying to swallow it. Then of course I always follow with a swig of water.
Solid product. Works well for me. When I get through this box I'm excited to try some other flavors.
