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

I love the variety of flavors and these are excellent pre-workout in the morning before the gym. I definitely feel an energy boost and I am not as sore as I am without it. If youre not used to these gels, they can initially be a turn-off, but now I love it. This is my favorite energy supplement so far.

I burned out on Gu a long time ago and for years avoided it. When I tried the French Toast Gu it reignited my love (and use) of gu. The flavor is unique (not all fruity or vanilla or chocolate) but not heavy. It has a yummy, buttery maple syrup flavor that isnt too sweet. Right now I alternate between French Toast gu and Toasted Smore GU and I actually look forward to taking nutrition during runs now. Perfect for long runs (pre or during nutrition).

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

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.

Admittedly, the “thicker” flavors are a bit more difficult to get down, especially if the get cold. But I’ve adapted to it. I’m not sure there’s a Gu flavor I don’t like. I’ve been using them for years and will continue to. I also like that they participate in the TerraCycle zero-waste program.

I use these for energy during long Mountain bike rides in Colorado..

If youve had gels or any kind of energy nutrition before, you dont really have high expectations on flavors. I really thought I would like citrus flavors more, but the chocolate/coffee/vanilla/caramels are the only ones I like while out on a ride. Wash it down with plenty of water though!

These things have brought me back from the brink of exhaustion on many a hike/ride/run.
