## Overview

GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel delivers 100 calories and essential electrolytes in a portable, vegan-friendly packet. Featuring dual-source carbs for efficient absorption and branched-chain amino acids to support muscle recovery, this gluten-free, caffeine-free gel is designed for sustained energy during any workout or endurance event. Trusted by elite athletes since 1993, it’s the go-to fuel for professionals who demand peak performance on the move.

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

Review: 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.
Review: Also good for diabetics - Been a type 1 for 31 years. Had all the highs, all the lows, ate all the chalky glucose tabs and powder mix's to raise sugars. Sure, i can carry around a soda and a few swigs would bring my BG back up, but these packets are small enough to put in a pocket and have enough carbs to raise me up without the risk of getting too high, plus the benefits of an energy supplement. Comes in handy on long motorcycle rides, having a day trip at the zoo in the summer heat, and saved me and another cub scout at camp. Plus, i like the pudding texture and flavors are excellent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Convenient Energy Boost
*by R***C on January 21, 2026*

I wasn’t sure how much of a difference these gels would make, but they actually work pretty well. The flavors are fruity and not too sweet, and they’re easy to eat on the go without feeling gross or sticky. They give a noticeable energy boost during workouts, and I like that they’re vegan and gluten-free. The packaging is convenient, so you can just toss one in a bag or pocket. Overall, they do exactly what they’re supposed to do.
