GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Assorted Indulgent Flavors

One is enough on an empty stomach for a quick 30min circuit. Obviously results may vary, but the gel is fast acting and tastes great with just enough caffeine to give you a boost at 5am when slamming a pre workout just doesnt sound appealing.

Tasted about like you would think. Not too sweet considering its pure glucose gel. As a type 1 diabetic getting back into mountain biking I go through these things pretty fast on the trail. Usually 3-4 per 1 hr ride and I dont seem to have any issues with digestion or too much aftertaste. I would recommend following with a few slugs of water to clear the palate after or your mouth can get pretty sticky and dry as one might expect when drinking a couple tablespoons of jelly/honey. If you need instant energy/blood sugar like I do then these do the trick and taste great.

Love the flavor!

Finally received order. Missing 1 gu gel. I have 23 instead of 24. I counted them 3 times to be sure.

I get these for my son who has type1 diabetes , runs daily, and is an endocrinologist. He says that they are such a better solution for low blood sugar than chewing on a bar….

been use for year for endurance sports and pick me up at work

I have trained for 3 marathons. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE THINGS. I cant handle the vanilla or any other flavor but this mint one. They boost my energy and keep me running. Store easily in my water belt and I also sometimes tuck them in my bra strap. If you are a runner, you know what places we can fit things. Tear open easily while Im running, even with sweaty hands (I dont stop to open them). Cant rave enough about how great these things are. I know there are a lot of different types of energy gel brands, but if you are trying one out for the first time, try these!

excellent

I am not a big fan of the taste, but then I dont really like any sports drinks or gels - too sweet. I can get them down though, and we took these on a recent backpacking trip where they were awesome. I tend to not feel hungry when I am working hard and so while everyone else seemed happy to tuck into a big lunch when we are hiking all day, I feel like I can barely choke something down. These things were great for a little midday energy boost when I didnt feel like eating much. Ive also liked them for a quick bump of energy when we are out on a long bike ride. I found they go down best with lots of water, which is a bonus as it reminds me to hydrate. Overall, from someone who isnt a fan of these types of products, I really like them and will definitely buy again.

I use it for my ultra trail runs. I am quite satisfied.
