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

Salted Caramel Gu is a gift from the heavens! I was only able to use chews/chops before trying this because many of the other gels would upset my stomach. I wanted to transition into gels because carrying around a marathons worth of chomps can become a bit bulky. There are a lot of decent flavored gels out there but this one wins on flavor and ease of digestion. I have been tempted to have one as a snack, thats how delicious they are.

Yummy

Perfect for long runs, easy to carry and gives a good morale and energy boost when running low on carbs

Have been using these for years prior to a run; great boost of energy! Need some water to flush it down though as it is a bit thick. I prefer the vanilla flavor and also the chocolate but that is even thicker. No after taste at all.

Gave last minute energy that helped me get through 3 grueling weeks of swat school

Dont really like the taste, but definitely gives you an energy boost to get you through an afternoon or whatever youre taking it for. May try another flavor in the future

Good value for money

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.

I’ve used this product for years. When I was a triathlete I used GU so I wouldn’t hit the wall or bonk. Now I’m a tournament Pickleball player. I used GU for immediate energy during play. It works immediately.
