GU Energy Gel (8 Pack)

Test out the flavors you like than tape them to your top tube in trans for the race and rip them off and suck them up to keep energized. Excellent solution for biking and running. (Posted on 3/24/13)

The new Peanut Butter flavor is snack worthy. The entire line, however, is very good. I think it has the best consistency of all the gels I've tried. (Posted on 3/10/13)

There are several options out there providing similar nutritional content - GU just makes it taste much better! Favorite flavors are the vanilla and chocolate. Always take it with water to wash it down, but it never has disappointed! (Posted on 2/21/13)

Great sub for power bars and easy to digest. So instead of having to go # 2 for those long races you have to go #1 instead :-) good stuff. Would recommend to anyone. (Posted on 2/12/13)

I have used gu for years and have had great success with it. They go down smooth and I have no stomach distress with it. Most flavors also taste very good. (Posted on 1/14/13)

I love GU. I have tried the blocks, the shots, and many other products, but I always go back to my Strawberry Banana GU. This is the only product that i can take without having any negative issues. And it still tastes good hot, cold, early or late on a run or bike.

Side note, I love GU so much that I keep some at my desk for a mid afternoon pick-me-up. (Posted on 1/8/13)

Mint Chocolate is currently by far my favorite flavor, for training I use one every 45 minutes, for racing it will vary. If it is a distance race I will start out with one ever 30 minutes for awhile, then start to increase the time between if required based on how my stomach feels and how much longer I have to go in the race.

GU Jet Blackberry remains my favorite over all the other products and flavors. Has the right amount of calories and boost I need in a "not too weak and not too strong" flavor. (Posted on 8/30/12)

The GU Jet Blackberry has a strong flavor and provides a great tasting punch when you need it on the run or bike. (Posted on 6/8/12)

I tried GU when I was a runner to help me get through the long training runs and races. I carried my use over when I started triathlons, and it gives me the energy I need during the long sessions. I tape a few to my bike, have a couple in my race belt, and haven't bonked yet! (Posted on 1/1/12)

Works in every race year round. Easy to digest. Good flavors. (Posted on 12/31/11)

I have tried several gels and other chews and GU is the only one that I can actually feel a definite difference in energy level within 10 minutes. Take a shot of GU and 10 minutes later I feel great. Do remember, however, that you almost have to follow this with water because it does dry my mouth out. Also, like almost all the other gels, the packaging is a pain for using while riding and produces a big tendency to litter since you end up with the separate top tab plus a sticky container. I wish someone could figure a solution to that. (Posted on 12/31/11)

I have used GU many times before races and during training and I can say without a doubt that it is the best source of quick energy you will ever find. And the dosage is simple: 15 Before every 45. Coffee flavor is (to me) the best hands down. (Posted on 12/31/11)

GU is the best! I put one in my bike to eat during that portion. Goes down easy and has so many options for flavor, I must have during a tri! (Posted on 12/30/11)

I tested using gu and not using gu on some runs. Found my times where faster and I felt better on the runs that I had gu a few minutes before I headed out. Vanilla bean is my favorite! (Posted on 12/30/11)

I tried this gel as a gift from the usual gel that I use which is the Power bar gel. When I train I honestly do feel like this gel for some reason does work better. I feel like I have more energy and can train harder and longer. It also tastes good and goes down easily. This is a great gel if your looking for some type of nutrition for before and during training. (Posted on 8/16/11)
