Tasty, effective, and a better value than expensive alternatives
I recently started running and picked up the GU Energy Original Gel (Salted Caramel, 24 Count) box during a Cyber Monday deal. At about $1.50 per unit, it was a great time to stock up, and having this box alongside two others (Double Espresso Flavor and another with mixed flavors in it) means I am set for quite a while. What I Liked: Effective Boost: As a new runner, I genuinely feel a difference in my pace when I use these. They give me the energy I need to keep going. Great Taste: The Salted Caramel flavor is very enjoyable, which makes it easy to consume mid-run. Value vs. Competition: I have tried other brands like BPN (Bare Performance Nutrition). In my experience, GU delivers the same performance results but at a much friendlier price point, so I am sticking with this. What to Consider: Bulk Purchase: This is a 24-count box. While the value is excellent, make sure you enjoy the Salted Caramel flavor before committing to the full case, though I found it delicious. Final Verdict: I highly recommend these to new runners or anyone looking to fuel their training without overpaying. If you are debating between this and pricier boutique brands, save your money and go with GU—it works just as well.

Good carb source
I use these while running. I really like the taste and the texture works for me. They can thicken a little if it’s cold out, but it thins out while you’re squeezing it out of the tube.

My favorite flavor
Great taste of salt and sweet. Caffeine but not too much. Super for cycling.

Saved me on a long hike
I was struggling with the incline on one of the hikes I did this summer. I tend to not be someone who eats while I hike, because it makes me nauseous. This particular hike, I was really struggling to make it and I felt like I was holding everyone back. I was glad to have packed a few of these and WOW did it make a difference. within a few minutes of eating one of them, I had a boost of energy and felt so much better. Even my heart rate adjusted. I loved the flavor and the ease of ripping off the top and squeezing out the contents. I purchased a 12 pack for the value. Good quality and I will buy again.

Works great!!!
Gu makes the best energy gel. Price is a bit stiff, but it is worthwhile. However, not a big fan of salted caramel taste.

This stuff really works. Follow directions.
I use this on long bike rides. I take one 5 minutes before I start then one every 45 minutes into my ride. Make sure you hydrate as you are taking this to avoid stomach issues as per directions. The chocolate and salt caramel. Tastes really good. I am a repeat customer.

Tastes great and hasn't caused me any stomach issues
I only wish I could get these cheaper but otherwise they're great. I wouldn't want them to reduce in price if it meant a sacrifice in quality. They taste good, they're fairly small and easy to carry/consume on the go, and they haven't caused me any stomach issues. I like that this flavor has a small dose of caffeine as well.

Ich war auf der Suche nach der richtigen Energieversorgung für den Marathon. Getränke fielen schnell raus, da sie schlecht zu transportieren sind. Gels gibt es wie Sand am Meer, also habe ich mich erstmal lange mit Zusammensetzung und Inhaltsstoffen beschäftigt und bin bei GU gelandet da hier nicht nur einfacher Zucker oder reine Fructose als Kohlehydratquelle dient. Der hier verwendete Kohlehydratemix wirkt länger. Was mir wichtig war: - guter Kohlehydratmix - kein Fruchtgeschmack - erhöhter Salzgehalt (da ich viel Schwitze beim Laufen) - passende Portion GESCHMACK: Ich mag persönlich Fruchtgeschmack bei Gels gar nicht und das schränkt die Auswahl stark ein. Auch deshalb bin ich bei diesem gelandet. Und was soll ich sagen: Es schmeckt wirklich irre gut! Die Konsistenz wird oft als zu dickflüssig rezensiert was ich nicht bestätigen kann. Trotzdem ist es sicher sinnvoll ein paar Schluck nach zu trinken, was im gut organisierten Wettkampf aber kein Problem ist. WIRKUNG: Man merkt die Wirkung nach 3-4 Minuten deutlich, sodass man das Gefühl hat die Energieversorgung ist wieder hergestellt. Ebenso empfinde ich einen Leistungsboost, was aber vielleicht auch Kopfsache sein kann. Allerdings ist ja auch Koffein enthalten, was auch seinen Teil dazu beitragen könnte. Die Wirkung hält ca. 30-45 Minuten an (je nach Verausgabung), somit reicht mir ein Gel ca. 7-10 km. Meistens nehme ich das erste nach 10km , später ggf kürzere Abstände, somit komme ich mit vier Gels gut über die Marathondistanz. Das Gel lässt sich leicht öffnen und braucht wenig Platz. Ich kann es jedem Empfehlen der es für die Langdistanz verwenden möchte und auch die Nase voll von Fruchtgeschmack hat. Unbedingt ausprobieren es schmeckt so gut dass man meinen könnte es wäre eine sehr sehr ungesunde Süßigkeit:-)

J'utilise déjà régulièrement la version "Triple Baies" de cette marque pour mes courses longues. Comme ces dernières le format de ces gourdes est très bien adapté pour les sorties longues (j'en consomme un par tranche de 10 km parcourus) et dont le goût est agréable ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas dans ce genre de produit. Faciles à transporter, ces gourdes contiennent dans un faible volume (32g), une grande quantité d'énergie pour seulement 100 calories. Elles apportent l'énergie nécessaire grâce au fructose naturel (sucre rapide) et à la maltodextrine absorbée immédiatement par les muscles. Comme elles contiennent un ensemble de sels minéraux, elles retardent aussi la déshydratation. Elles permettent aussi de soutenir les efforts intenses grâce aux glucides complexes qui stabilisent le taux de glycémie sanguine tandis que les citrates accélèrent la conversion de ces glucides en molécules énergétiques. Attention, il est préférable de boire l'équivalent d'un verre d'eau juste après son absorption, cela permet de diluer l'effet sucré tout en maximisant leur effet.
