Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Dairy-Free On-the-Go Energy for Any Workout, 8-Count, Tri-Berry

This is my 4th purchase of the product. It goes down easily, tastes pleasant, provides a pinch of energy, doesn’t upset my stomach with the smooth consistency and very convient to travel with. Not only for runs or working out, I’ve also brought it for work when I need to focus.

I have type 1 diabetes, and I discovered these when I took up jogging. They're great for jogging, but the main reason I get them is for blood sugar lows--lows during jogging and lows in general. They're 25 grams of fast-acting carbs in liquid form that tastes reasonably good and has some nutritional value, and they fit easily into a pocket or purse: perfect for blood sugar lows. I can consume them in seconds, and they bring my blood sugar up fast. I don't like to wait for a pack of crackers to bring my blood sugar up in 15 minutes after it already takes a few minutes to eat them anyway. It's not cool to feel sick for 20 minutes when that can be shortened to 2-3 minutes or less. I used to carry a grape soda around in my purse (seriously) in case I had a blood sugar low while I was out. Grape soda is heavy and bulky, and I would worry about it busting open by some accident and getting all over me and everything in my purse. (Fortunately that never happened.) GU fits easily into my purse without taking up a ton of space or adding a lot of weight. Another drawback to soda is once it's gone, it's gone. GU gel is small enough and light enough that I can fit more in my purse, so if I use one, I still have one or two for back up. I know there are glucose tablets and gels and drinks designed for diabetics, but most taste gross or are too hard to eat when you're in a hurry (those chalky tablets!) or aren't enough carbs for a serious low or are too slow. Grape soda is very effective and fast for dealing with lows, but GU is, too, and GU is a better option because it's smaller (see above paragraph) and has some nutritional value. GU also gives me confidence to go jogging for miles and not worry about blood sugar lows. I put them in my fuel belt along with my blood sugar meter, test strips, and lancet. Any time I feel low, I check my blood sugar, and when it's low I eat a GU (or two if it's really low and I don't start to feel better quickly) and it takes care of it. I used to be way too scared about having lows for me to even think about jogging very far from the house, but I don't mind running 2-3 miles away from the house now that I have GU and my fuel belt. I like the tri-berry flavor better than the others, but there are really only a few flavors I've tried that I think are gross. GU has changed my life. lol. It really has. I don't have to worry about blood sugar lows when I'm just out and about on ordinary errands or when I'm jogging several miles and trying to go faster and farther than before. It's great.

I always use caffeine gel while racing. (MTN/gravel bike) or on long rides. Works well. Cliff quit making gela so had to find another. These are closest to Cliff. No odd tastes, go down easily. Not too thin and not too thick. Taste is ok. Definitely doesn't taste like berries, bit none of them taste like what they say they are.

These gels definitely help maintain energy on runs/workouts. My one complaint is the thickness of the gel is really hard to get down for me personally. I don’t mind this flavor either, but will try another flavor after as this is not my favorite. Overall, very good gel!

I use these when I ran a trifecta Spartan weekend in Utah. While people around me were dropping like flies, these things kept the cramps off despite the high heat and difficult run. The best part is they taste good too, so I had to try hard not eating them all at once 10 out of 10 would buy again.

Play tennis six times a week. Need a boost after first set. These work great. Highly recommend.

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.

I bought this product a while back, but I never noticed its effects because I didn’t feel any difference when I was taking it. However, the other day, I was on a long road trip and feeling fatigued. I was looking for something to boost my energy, so I found GU energy gel in my car. I saw that it had caffeine in it, so I thought it might work. To my surprise, it did more than just work; it was phenomenal. It provided me with enough energy to sustain me throughout the entire trip without the sugar crash. I feel that the added BCAA supplements help me focus and be more clear.

super

I use Gu gels for marathon training and racing. They are convenient to carry and easy on the stomach. The taste is consistent and having different flavour options and caffeinated and non-caffeinated. I also like that some gels have more sodium for warmer races and training. For the price and quality I think Gu can’t be beat, especially compared to other options like Maurten. I’ve tried a ton of different flavours and Gu’s have helped me train for all race distances.

A big fan of GU gels for long distance running

Good, but buying only when there is a discount.

A tiempo la entrega y buen sabor 👍🏽
