About this item:

  • The Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel designed to help athletes perform their best; 100 calories and essential electrolytes in a portable packet

  • 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 Perfect for MY running needs

    O. · September 29, 2024

    Perfect in-race/in-run nutrition for my running. I eat one about every 3 miles during long runs and the results are spectacular. FOR ME it's the perfect blend of energy + calories + protein + electrolytes. Not to mention the awesome caffeine kick. BONUS: delicious chocolate/coffee flavor.I COULD NOT RUN WITHOUT THESE THINGS!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great flavor Great results!

    GU tastes yummy and definitely helped with energy, tired legs and overall performance. Easy to use 5 minutes before you start then every 45 min or as needed.Never used any of these types of products- but got recommended by a good source.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Espresso Love Gu great for marathon training (& have caffeine)

    S.U. · July 19, 2024

    If you love coffee but don’t want to have coffee before your run, this is a great form of fuel for you while training!!! I use the Espresso Love gu’s on the second half of my long run, both as my fuel and as an energy boost with the caffeine. Love the taste - and I think the texture goes down smoother than some of the other flavors Gu makes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gives me a boost

    When I go out long for a run, bike, or swim, I start to feel depleted, and that is when I take a vanilla Gu. I love the flavor and the taste. It helps.

    This vanilla GU has been a staple in my long runs and marathon training for several years now. This is the only energy gel that tastes good, goes down smoothly, and doesn’t cause any GI upset. You definitely get an energy boost 10-15 minutes after ingesting. Packets are small and easy to put in pockets or belt. Make sure to take with a sip of water or Gatorade to enhance digestion of product and prevent GI upset!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Energy I Use While Running

    S.J. · August 16, 2024

    Espresso Love absolutely has my love. Easy to open and use while running and feels like it starts "hitting" my system within about 10 minutes or so after consuming the package. I will typically take one GU right before a workout or in the race corral right before the race gun. Then if it's a training run, I'll take one every 4 miles of the run or every 2 aid stations during a race. It works very well to keep me as energized as possible during long runs and races and I've not found anything that works better for me. The only problem is that you need to make sure the packets are close to your body when doing runs in the cold or the packets will become very viscus.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Daily driver for all my runs.

    P.S. · November 3, 2023

    I've been an avid runner for years, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that the right fuel makes all the difference. That's where GU Energy Gel, particularly the Salted Watermelon flavor, has become a non-negotiable part of my running regimen.Each 100-calorie packet is a powerhouse of dual-source energy. The blend of maltodextrin and fructose is genius—it feels like my body taps into the fuel just when I need it, without any stomach upset. The fact that these sugars absorb through different pathways seems to prevent the dreaded 'energy spikes and crashes' that other gels have given me in the past.Timing is everything in long-distance running, and GU has it down to an art. A packet 5 minutes before my run primes me just right, and topping up every 45 minutes keeps my legs feeling like they've got miles left in them. And the taste? The Salted Watermelon isn’t just a flavor; it’s a refreshing pick-me-up when I’m pushing through those tough miles.Now, let's talk electrolytes. As someone who sweats a lot, I'm all too familiar with the fatigue that comes from electrolyte depletion. The 125mg of sodium in these little packets is my personal bodyguard against cramps, and the 35mg of potassium supports my muscle functions throughout my runs.The added caffeine is just the right touch for that extra mental alertness and physical boost, without overdoing it. Plus, the branched-chain amino acids in there are like my muscle-repair allies, fighting off the soreness and damage that can come from repeated pavement pounding.In essence, GU Energy Gel is more than just a mid-run snack; it's part of my toolkit for success. Whether I'm on a casual 10k or gearing up for a marathon, I know I've got the backup I need with GU. It's a definite 5-star fuel for this runner’s feet!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best flavor Gu

    W.P. · August 7, 2024

    If you’re looking for a nutrition on the go for longer workouts to give you additional energy, this is the right one to choose! Not only is it one of the best flavor, the size is perfect for travel size pockets or pouches. If you open, be sure to consume it all or there will be excess leakage in your pocket.

    Muy energizantes

    A.B. · April 16, 2024

    Produto chegou no prazo e com validade OK. A caixa estava um pouco amassada mas isso não faz diferença nenhuma na minha opinião, já que o produto não foi danificado.

    Buenos geles pero la consistencia no fue mi favorita

    E.B. · February 3, 2024

    La consistencia del gel es muy espesa para mi gusto, debo tomar agua después de tomarme un gel o me queda una sensación en la boca como de haber comido chocolate. El sabor es bueno pero creo que intentaré con sabores frutales para la próxima.

    Buen sabor

    Llegaron conforme a la fecha mencionada, empaque en buen estado y tienen un año para su caducidad, por lo demás me perece un buen producto

    Good flavor

    T. · June 22, 2023

    I’m using this in marathon training. Good consistency. However I prefer their salted caramel version better
