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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the taste of the tastefully nude variety?**
A: I just tried the Tastefully Nude for the first time. It's sweet and slightly vanilla-ish, but otherwise doesn't have a lot of flavor (which is the point). Very little aftertaste and doesn't leave your mouth feeling coated in a film.

**Q: Are those gluten free?**
A: It does not say on the box. I would recommend to contact the GU  company directly.

**Q: Is this one box of 24 packets?**
A: Yes.

**Q: Any tennis players use this product? Have tried another brand (coffee & chocolate) and gets me all jittery which is not good for a tennis match**
A: If the jittery feeling you experienced was from caffeine, you can rest assured that this flavor (Strawberry Banana) is caffeine free. If you have any other questions or would like to speak to a GU customer service rep please call 800-400-1995 and we will be happy to discuss flavors and ingredients with you.
