Description

Get energized with a Gu Energy Gel.

GU is a convenient, great tasting carbohydrate gel formulated to energize before, sustain during, and aid in recovery after training and competitions. Made with a unique blend of ingredients, GU provides: complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, amino acids to maintain muscle protein, antioxidants and muscle buffers to aid with recovery and GU's patented herbal blend for enhanced energy production. GU helps you feel and perform your best. GU's unique herbal blend combines the perfect fusion of herbs for energy-enhancement (cola-nut), anti-inflammatory (chamomile), and stomach buffering (ginger). GU contains 20mg (equivalent to 1/5 cup of coffee) per serving from cola-nut. All flavors have the same level of caffeine. The caffeine level in GU is not enough to give a "caffeine rush," but is added to help you utilize body fat as an additional fuel source during activity.

Gu Energy Gel comes in ten flavors -- Tri-Berry, Chocolate Outrage, Espresso Love, Jet Blackberry, Lemon Sublime, Mint Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Mandarin Orange, Just Plain, Strawberry Banana, and Vanilla Bean. They come in a box of 24 gel packets.

The flavour is not very good compared to other energy gels but it provides a good amount of energy.

Good texture, good flavor and awesome energy. I dig the plain and tri-berry flavors. They are the perfect size for my running belt and my pwater pack .
I usually only take one for runs between 1-9 miles and they keep mefirsed up for sure.

Tri-Berry is my favorite flavor! Good on every run ride ski or climb. If its cold out, stick em in your pocket a few min before you want it to soften up. Never had stomach issues with these.

Energy when needed. I use this along with GU's Ultra Endurance powdered drink for long rides. I like the Expresso flavor, but have not tried the other flavors. I'm going to try their assorted pack, so that I can try all the flavors to see which I prefer. I prefer gels as I don't want to be chewing on anything for energy - just want to gulp it down and be done with it. Additionally, I have no issues with eating these.

Very rich tasting. I like chocolate but this is quite the overload of chocolate flavor. I usually need something with chocolate such as nuts. This was tolerable with a lot of water. I liked it as it is not overly sweet.

Got the Strawberry Banana (husband requested that flavor). GU's are great products and always great to have them on long or short races when you never know if nutrition will be available.

For gus, I like this flavor and strawberry banana. It's adequate and does the job fine, but nothing spectacular.

These work quick! WIthin 10 minutes your body can metabolize these and start converting them into usable energy. The glucose in these are already broken down into simple carbohydrates which metabolize much faster than complex food stuffs giving you the immediate energy right now. I was blown away when I started using these. On ultra runs I could slam 2 of these an hour and keep going for 8, 12 18 hours in a race without actual food stuffs. Like I said it take about 10 minutes for your body to start releasing energy stores. After using them for a while you become more in tune with your body and setting up a scheduled dose. When I am racing competitively on an ultra I usually take in 1 ever 20-25 minutes. During training usually 1 every 45 minutes after the first hour. What I like about them is they give quick stores of energy. They are incredibly easy to digest and soft on the digestive tract (you don't want heavily metabolized nutrients on the go). They are compact and sleek, you can store them every where and they do not take up much room. There is a plethora of flavors at your disposal to ward of monotony. They can be a little pricey when going through a box or two a week, but it all depends on your budget, the type of athlete you are and what your intentions are. Other than that I love it.

OK, first off, I know that most serious runners are going to disagree with my review but I am hoping that this will at least help first-time users of GU know what to expect. I had my first and last GU during my 1st half-marathon. Hated the consistency, hated the flavor. But, even though I only ate half of it, I have to admit that it did the job and gave me some great energy. I am giving it 4 stars because it does what it should and I know that most people really like them. I just can't stomach the stuff, so keep that in mind if you are like me:) I've tasted a few of the flavors and I would say Chocolate Outrage is the best bet for those with sensitive stomachs because you can close your eyes and imagine that it is some kind of dessert that you WANT to eat and not a thick, gooey energy gel that you HAVE to eat.

It's always a good idea to try a new product while you are still training for a marathon/half marathon. That way you can know what works best for you based on brand, flavors, etc, and hopefully no surprises come race time!

yeah, they taste good enough. And they're easy to eat with one, or even no hands.

usually a sticky mess with the package if put back in your pocket - unless you are DILIGENT about getting all the gu out first, but nothing is perfect.

I try to remember a small baggy for the spent GU packets, much better than sticky pockets.

GU is some magical stuff. It might taste kinda weird, but it keeps your stoke level on max when it counts!

i'm a huge fan of gu. i will use this stuff on any outing to stay strong all day. unlike bars or other foods, these guys don't get rock hard in the winter, perfect for getting a few extra laps of skiing in. also love them backpacking, easy to store in the hip belt pocket to prevent me from bonking on a long climb. also use them on cycling tours. mint chocolate, espresso love, vanilla bean, and tri-berry are my favorite flavors.

Lovin' the mint chocolate flavor. Took a risk to see if I'd like it and it's now my favorite flavor. Tastes like a grasshopper Girl Scout Cookie and goes down easy too.

My husband uses these for long distance runs. They are a little difficult to consume while running, but the energy they provide is amazing. His favorite flavor is lemon sublime.

A few of these either in pockets or pinned to your clothes is an ideal system for getting from point A to B without bonking in the middle. They're easy to open with one hand and a mouth and can be eaten all in one gulp or "slurped" on for a few minutes.

The flavors aren't going to blow you away. They won't replace a snickers or swedish fish in that category. But they're made with good stuff and definitely are tasty enough.

I pack them on hikes, alpine tours and any other activity where weight, convenience, energy, etc. are an issue.
