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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gentle on Stomach
I use GU for my Ironman training and competition. Keeps me energized and is easy to digest when I’m on the go.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for running and for diabetic blood sugar lows
I have type 1 diabetes, and I discovered these when I took up jogging. They're great for jogging, but the main reason I get them is for blood sugar lows--lows during jogging and lows in general. They're 25 grams of fast-acting carbs in liquid form that tastes reasonably good and has some nutritional value, and they fit easily into a pocket or purse: perfect for blood sugar lows. I can consume them in seconds, and they bring my blood sugar up fast. I don't like to wait for a pack of crackers to bring my blood sugar up in 15 minutes after it already takes a few minutes to eat them anyway. It's not cool to feel sick for 20 minutes when that can be shortened to 2-3 minutes or less.I used to carry a grape soda around in my purse (seriously) in case I had a blood sugar low while I was out. Grape soda is heavy and bulky, and I would worry about it busting open by some accident and getting all over me and everything in my purse. (Fortunately that never happened.) GU fits easily into my purse without taking up a ton of space or adding a lot of weight. Another drawback to soda is once it's gone, it's gone. GU gel is small enough and light enough that I can fit more in my purse, so if I use one, I still have one or two for back up.I know there are glucose tablets and gels and drinks designed for diabetics, but most taste gross or are too hard to eat when you're in a hurry (those chalky tablets!) or aren't enough carbs for a serious low or are too slow. Grape soda is very effective and fast for dealing with lows, but GU is, too, and GU is a better option because it's smaller (see above paragraph) and has some nutritional value.GU also gives me confidence to go jogging for miles and not worry about blood sugar lows. I put them in my fuel belt along with my blood sugar meter, test strips, and lancet. Any time I feel low, I check my blood sugar, and when it's low I eat a GU (or two if it's really low and I don't start to feel better quickly) and it takes care of it. I used to be way too scared about having lows for me to even think about jogging very far from the house, but I don't mind running 2-3 miles away from the house now that I have GU and my fuel belt.I like the tri-berry flavor better than the others, but there are really only a few flavors I've tried that I think are gross.GU has changed my life. lol. It really has. I don't have to worry about blood sugar lows when I'm just out and about on ordinary errands or when I'm jogging several miles and trying to go faster and farther than before. It's great.
5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy
I like the taste. This is great for my gym workouts
5.0 out of 5 stars Buena calidad y utilidad
Muy buena calidad
4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Gooey
This product is great, if you can get it down. The consistency and flavor are horrible. There’s got to be a trick for ingesting it. The recovery from excessive exposure to sun is quick, but so difficult to stomach.
5.0 out of 5 stars tasteful fuel for my first marathon
Just finished my first marathon with 3 Tri-Berry gels: plenty of energy and delicious flavor: not too sweet (like Vanilla Bean) and not sticky (like the mocha and caramel flavors, which I love but need to be immediately washed down with after). Took 1 every 4 miles in the first half, and then switched to the double-caffeine Blackberry flavor to speed up in the second half.
5.0 out of 5 stars Tri-Berry flavor
Leaving a review for the Tri-Berry flavor. It's pretty sweet and does have an artificial berry taste that I don't mind, but may be slightly reminiscent of cherry cough medicine for some (though it tastes better than that).
5.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff
I like the taste, but more importantly they work very well. I tried this and a few other gels on a 50 mile bike ride. After the first hour I had one, then I had 2 more over the next 3 hours and felt great the whole ride. Very smooth energy levels, no peaks or valleys.
Muuuuuuy bueno.
Siento que en verdad me sirve a la hora de entrenar intensamente.
Good Product
Great 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.
Good!
It gives me energy! Not so sure about the taste, I was expecting something more "fruity" but it tastes like coffee which is not that bad.
GU energy
Good flavor and easy to swallow. Do the job during my long run.
Did not expect this product to be available here in India
Really amazing
