## Overview

GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel in Caramel Macchiato flavor is a trusted endurance fuel delivering 100 calories, dual-source carbohydrates, branched-chain amino acids, and essential electrolytes in a portable, vegan, and gluten-free packet. Designed for athletes seeking sustained energy and reduced muscle fatigue, it includes 40mg caffeine for a focused boost, making it ideal for running, biking, hiking, and more.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are great for races
*by W***Y on January 4, 2026*

I use this GU gel for long runs and races. It’s really helps during races- take one 15 minutes before and then every 45 minutes into the race and it keeps my energy during the race. It is easy to consume, easy on the stomach, and tastes good.
