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

I have always been a gym person, not rat worthy or commercial beautified hard body, but these really get me through a workout and I dont have a lingering delayed onset muscle soreness anymore, which is why I use these every time I hit the gym regardless of workout intensity. The only thing I had to get past was my friend ruined these for me, but saying theyre like thick snot consistency. True theyre gooey as the name implies, but not boogie gross! Lol. I wouldnt go to the gym if I forgot one and I love the variety pack because its cheaper to buy in bulk. No science there.

Great energy food before running or working out.

My new favorite flavor of GU!! It used to be Mocha.... now it is definitely Caramel Macchiato. It tastes just like a sweet shot of coffee. I am a triathlete and use these during workouts and races. I consume one within the first 30 minutes of biking (after the swim). If its an half Ironman race, Ill consume two during the bike leg. I have yet to attempt slurping one down during the run (fear of choking, I guess?), but I know many who do with success. :) Again.... Caramel Macchiato.... YUM!

I was burning out (hitting the wall) when I tried to run more than 13 miles. I am preparing to run my first marathon and needed some help. I looked at a lot of energy supplements and my biggest concern was how a supplement might hit my stomach halfway into a run. I’m happy to say that these supplements are working for my running regimen, give me a noticeable energy boost very quickly after consuming, and so far I have not had any stomach issues. I am taking two during long runs right and will probably use 3 during marathon runs in addition to what the event hands out. Right now I pause my run to take these. I know I need to learn to take them while running before my marathon and it definitely seems possible as these gels are pretty dense (not runny/messy). I like this flavor pack and will probably stick with it.

The gel consistency was odd for me at first, but the flavor is good enough for this to overlook & by the 3rd packet I was used to it! I definitely feel a difference if I don’t take this for my weekly HIIT workouts. I’m definitely buying it again! Best flavors are espresso and caramel in my opinion :)

Consistently work for fuel for long runs, no stomach upset and I like the caffeine options.

i ride bikes and in the middle of the session I always squeese on of these. they are great and give you a little lift up on energy

A nice addition to the other flavors of caramel, and vanilla bean.

I absolutely love the coffee flavors! Best I have ever had!!

I questioned whether or not these were actually working or if I was experiencing placebo effect so I brought it to one of my Anatomy professors to look at. He looked over the ingredients list and then proceeded to delve into the science of how & why it works. I will save you the boring to most/fascinating to me details - definitely not placebo effect! Essentially, its helping your body produce the ATP it needs to keep you going. So its definitely working the way that it should. The Toasted Marshmallow are my absolute favorite flavor followed by the Salted Caramel.
