## 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 great tasting flavors. Each packet contains 450mg of Amino acids, 100 calories, and at least 21g total carbs.

Review: Tasty, effective, and a better value than expensive alternatives - I recently started running and picked up the GU Energy Original Gel (Salted Caramel, 24 Count) box during a Cyber Monday deal. At about $1.50 per unit, it was a great time to stock up, and having this box alongside two others (Double Espresso Flavor and another with mixed flavors in it) means I am set for quite a while. What I Liked: Effective Boost: As a new runner, I genuinely feel a difference in my pace when I use these. They give me the energy I need to keep going. Great Taste: The Salted Caramel flavor is very enjoyable, which makes it easy to consume mid-run. Value vs. Competition: I have tried other brands like BPN (Bare Performance Nutrition). In my experience, GU delivers the same performance results but at a much friendlier price point, so I am sticking with this. What to Consider: Bulk Purchase: This is a 24-count box. While the value is excellent, make sure you enjoy the Salted Caramel flavor before committing to the full case, though I found it delicious. Final Verdict: I highly recommend these to new runners or anyone looking to fuel their training without overpaying. If you are debating between this and pricier boutique brands, save your money and go with GU—it works just as well.
Review: Saved me on a long hike - I was struggling with the incline on one of the hikes I did this summer. I tend to not be someone who eats while I hike, because it makes me nauseous. This particular hike, I was really struggling to make it and I felt like I was holding everyone back. I was glad to have packed a few of these and WOW did it make a difference. within a few minutes of eating one of them, I had a boost of energy and felt so much better. Even my heart rate adjusted. I loved the flavor and the ease of ripping off the top and squeezing out the contents. I purchased a 12 pack for the value. Good quality and I will buy again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the taste of the tastefully nude variety?**
A: I just tried the Tastefully Nude for the first time. It's sweet and slightly vanilla-ish, but otherwise doesn't have a lot of flavor (which is the point). Very little aftertaste and doesn't leave your mouth feeling coated in a film.

**Q: Are those gluten free?**
A: It does not say on the box. I would recommend to contact the GU  company directly.

**Q: Is this one box of 24 packets?**
A: Yes.

**Q: Any tennis players use this product? Have tried another brand (coffee & chocolate) and gets me all jittery which is not good for a tennis match**
A: If the jittery feeling you experienced was from caffeine, you can rest assured that this flavor (Strawberry Banana) is caffeine free. If you have any other questions or would like to speak to a GU customer service rep please call 800-400-1995 and we will be happy to discuss flavors and ingredients with you.
