Enjoy the journey with flavors that always hit the mark.

Branched chain amino acids reduce mental fatigue, decrease muscle damage, and improve cardiac output during exercise.

Electrolytes maintain water balance and aid in optimum hydration for everyday training and recovery, as well as during sustained, high-intensity efforts.

Caffeine enhances performance by increasing focus and concentration. It can also decrease perceived effort during exercise.

Carbohydrates deliver ready to use energy and delay bonking by sparing glycogen, which the body can quickly turn into fuel when needed.

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

Good product but a mess inside the box

Good product but a mess inside the box
Not sending back because I’m using 23 GU’s from this box. Hopefully I’ll be able to remove the detritus from the ‘broken’ GU that has leaked onto the others. Box was in pristine shape but inside the box one of the GU’s broke open leaving a thick gooey mess among the others.
Thank you for your feedback
