    5.0 out of 5 stars Tastes great and hasn't caused me any stomach issues

    J. · August 15, 2024

    I only wish I could get these cheaper but otherwise they're great. I wouldn't want them to reduce in price if it meant a sacrifice in quality. They taste good, they're fairly small and easy to carry/consume on the go, and they haven't caused me any stomach issues. I like that this flavor has a small dose of caffeine as well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for long distances

    D. · April 30, 2023

    I use GU for fuel during my long distance runs, anywhere from 8 to 20 miles. Its compact, so it's easy to carry with me. I prefer the salted caramel because its higher in sodium for electrolyte replacement and has 20mg caffeine for an energy boost. The flavor is good, as well as the chocolate flavored version. The cost is comparable to similar products, and I've tried a few. GU is my favorite overall.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great taste and easy to gulp down

    s. · September 9, 2022

    These are my go-to for long runs. The taste is great and they do what they're supposed to with an energy boost. I take the first one after 45min, and then one every 45min after that. Definitely need water to stop it gumming up in the mouth, but no digestive issues.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Always in my runbelt

    L.J. · August 15, 2024

    I count on GU to get me to the finish line. I typically only tryst a few flavors to not give me heartburn or stomach disturbance. Vanilla and caramel are my go to. Caffeine level is just right too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A solid non-fruit flavor alternative

    L.i.D. · September 7, 2014

    I waffled between 4 and 5 stars on this one but ultimately went with 5 because this Gu fulfills its purpose perfectly: it delivers an extra hit of sodium in a largely non-revolting manner. (If you're new to Gu: most flavors have ~60mg Sodium while a few special ones have more; salted caramel has 125mg.) For me, getting the extra sodium in a delivery system that has a good chance of not being horked up into the cheering crowd (of elderly speed walkers - I'm not a track star here) is crucial, and this Gu does that. Some finer points on flavor -- upon civilized taste testing it is rather like a tube of cut rate salted caramel, and out on a run where it counts the salty notes come through strong and help overcome the sweetness a bit. (A plus, for me, because it's the cloying sweetness of the other non-fruit flavors that often results in the aforementioned horking.)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good gel but the recommended use rate is insane.

    S.G. · February 15, 2015

    Decent flavor and as easy to get down as any gel (which isn't that easy but easier than gummies). I wish they offered a smaller packet because it's kind of hard to get the whole thing down, especially late in a run and once you've opened it, you're committed to either finishing it or finding a trash can. I'd rather carry twice as many 50cal packs and be able to eat less at a time.The packet offers some excessive recommendations about how many of these to use (1 before starting then another one every 45 minutes). If you follow those instructions, you'll probably puke (or want to). . Everybody's different but if you're new to gels and sports one uses them for, don't start by following the directions, start with a much more conservative regimen (like none to start and 1 every 90 minutes or 2 hours) to see how you tolerate it and how often you really need it. Also, they recently started marketing this as something you might eat in casual settings like before going to the gym- that's ridiculous- the only reason to use this product rather than eat real food is if the duration and circumstances of your activity require fuel that a) you can carry with you in short shorts b) you can consume while moving and c) can get your blood sugar up without requiring a fully operational digestive system. It's not a workout enhancer, it's just a packet of sugars and electrolytes that tastes good enough that it doesn't make most people sick.

    Great flavor, good nutriments, great packaging.It's very nice. I wish it would be more affordable, I save those on runs or rides above 2hours.

    Taste lovely

    e.m. · November 19, 2023

    These taste lovely. I don't like eating anything on a long run as it makes me feel sick. Also most gels make me feel sick, but these were lovely and I didn't feel any sickness with them

    Überzeugt in Wirkung und Geschmack auf ganzer Linie - Geschmack bombastisch!

    C.B. · January 20, 2018

    Ich war auf der Suche nach der richtigen Energieversorgung für den Marathon. Getränke fielen schnell raus, da sie schlecht zu transportieren sind. Gels gibt es wie Sand am Meer, also habe ich mich erstmal lange mit Zusammensetzung und Inhaltsstoffen beschäftigt und bin bei GU gelandet da hier nicht nur einfacher Zucker oder reine Fructose als Kohlehydratquelle dient. Der hier verwendete Kohlehydratemix wirkt länger. Was mir wichtig war:- guter Kohlehydratmix- kein Fruchtgeschmack- erhöhter Salzgehalt (da ich viel Schwitze beim Laufen)- passende PortionGESCHMACK: Ich mag persönlich Fruchtgeschmack bei Gels gar nicht und das schränkt die Auswahl stark ein. Auch deshalb bin ich bei diesem gelandet. Und was soll ich sagen: Es schmeckt wirklich irre gut! Die Konsistenz wird oft als zu dickflüssig rezensiert was ich nicht bestätigen kann. Trotzdem ist es sicher sinnvoll ein paar Schluck nach zu trinken, was im gut organisierten Wettkampf aber kein Problem ist.WIRKUNG: Man merkt die Wirkung nach 3-4 Minuten deutlich, sodass man das Gefühl hat die Energieversorgung ist wieder hergestellt. Ebenso empfinde ich einen Leistungsboost, was aber vielleicht auch Kopfsache sein kann. Allerdings ist ja auch Koffein enthalten, was auch seinen Teil dazu beitragen könnte. Die Wirkung hält ca. 30-45 Minuten an (je nach Verausgabung), somit reicht mir ein Gel ca. 7-10 km. Meistens nehme ich das erste nach 10km , später ggf kürzere Abstände, somit komme ich mit vier Gels gut über die Marathondistanz.Das Gel lässt sich leicht öffnen und braucht wenig Platz. Ich kann es jedem Empfehlen der es für die Langdistanz verwenden möchte und auch die Nase voll von Fruchtgeschmack hat. Unbedingt ausprobieren es schmeckt so gut dass man meinen könnte es wäre eine sehr sehr ungesunde Süßigkeit:-)

    Les meilleurs gels pour l'effort

    P.B. · June 8, 2018

    J'utilise déjà régulièrement la version "Triple Baies" de cette marque pour mes courses longues. Comme ces dernières le format de ces gourdes est très bien adapté pour les sorties longues (j'en consomme un par tranche de 10 km parcourus) et dont le goût est agréable ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas dans ce genre de produit.Faciles à transporter, ces gourdes contiennent dans un faible volume (32g), une grande quantité d'énergie pour seulement 100 calories. Elles apportent l'énergie nécessaire grâce au fructose naturel (sucre rapide) et à la maltodextrine absorbée immédiatement par les muscles. Comme elles contiennent un ensemble de sels minéraux, elles retardent aussi la déshydratation. Elles permettent aussi de soutenir les efforts intenses grâce aux glucides complexes qui stabilisent le taux de glycémie sanguine tandis que les citrates accélèrent la conversion de ces glucides en molécules énergétiques.Attention, il est préférable de boire l'équivalent d'un verre d'eau juste après son absorption, cela permet de diluer l'effet sucré tout en maximisant leur effet.

    Easy to eat during races

    N. · April 25, 2024

    Great for racing especially if you struggle to eat during the race or the terrain makes it difficult to open and eat a granola bar. Tastes good and provides good energy.
