## Overview

GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel delivers 100 calories and essential electrolytes in a compact, portable packet.

The Birthday Cake flavor is vegan, gluten-free, and caffeine-free, making it an inclusive choice for endurance athletes seeking steady, clean energy during training or racing.

## 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: I use GU Energy Gel for long bike rides and workouts, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do—gives a quick, steady boost without making me feel jittery or nauseated. The texture goes down easily, and it’s convenient to carry and use mid-activity. I like that it provides carbs and electrolytes without feeling heavy. It really helps prevent that sudden energy crash. A solid choice for endurance exercise or anytime you need fast fuel. I ordered the Birthday Cake flavor and it is DELICIOUS! It gives me that little extra push I need on the return home from a bike ride!

I love birthday cake Gu, not the issue here. But my order came and the box says celebrating 25 years from 1993? I was born in 1993… I wish I was still 25. A little sketchy, no? We’re past 30 now, unfortunately.
