GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Salted Caramel

Can swallow this gel (with water) during long workouts.

Have tried a few GU flavors and this one is a favorite. If you are planning on running 45 minutes or more, you should try taking one 5 minutes before you start and then every 45 minutes thereafter until your done. I PRd a half marathon easily using GU Roctane, but did most of my training miles with this GU. It really does give you a boost (I know by looking at my mile splits and lining up when I took the GU to when my split speed increased). Overall a great product for all distance runners!

Me encanto el sabor, tiene un buen equilibrio entre los salado y dulce, es facil de tragar

Just Gu packs. They serve their purpose.

I used to use Gu energy gels exclusively for a couple of years when I first started running, and then the last couple of years my wife has been buying other energy gels and jelly beans. I decided to get some more of the vanilla gels since they have slightly higher amounts of potassium than the other products we have been using. However, I removed one star because I just find it hard to use this product when running. The thickness of the gel inside makes it harder to swallow than other similar products and for some reason it just always seems messier and stickier than the other products. I still like it and use it, but when it is gone I will likely not buy more.

This is a good goo with nice flavor and a little caffeine. Can give you a small boost of energy during the day. But all these energy goos are a overpriced.

Ive tried many different gels, chews, etc, and Gu is my favorite by far. Many of the other energy gels taste like chemicals and leave a terrible, acidic feeling in my stomach, but Ive had great luck with Gu. The chocolate outrage Gu tastes like chocolate frosting, so good! I thought that Chocolate outrage would always be my number one, until I tried the salted caramel. Wow, it really does taste like salted caramel. It tastes real, not chemical like. Its easy to squeeze into your mouth, provides a quick pick me up, doesnt upset my stomach, and tastes great. Honestly, I piloted this on a 15 mile run, and just the delicious taste alone was enough to make me feel energized! What more could I ask for? Thanks Gu!

This flavor of GU is the only flavor I like. I do like the vanilla Cliff band as well. It can be difficult finding a gel to like as it is messy, sticky, and a bit thick to swallow. However, I find that this one is not overly sweet and has a pleasant enough flavor that I can swallow it during a race rather quickly. It does help me with not feeling light headed and gives me continue energy. Of course you do need to eat multiple ones during long races/training times.

These things taste like plastic and the box I had came with a two or three that didnt seal properly from the factory and had some GU leaking out. Other than that, theyre pretty good. I used them on 2 marathons and quite a few training runs. However, theres something about them that didnt seem quite right. Maybe they were quality rejects? Others Ive had just had more real caramel taste.

Salted Caramel GU helped me train for and crush my second marathon! Delicious and sticky with a little salt and caffeine to keep you going. I have a hard time with other flavored gels because the texture is rather gross. Gooey orange? Salty berry? No thanks. The benefit of salted caramel is you expect caramel to be gooey, so its not revolting to eat something flavored like caramel, that has the texture of caramel.
