GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Assorted Indulgent Flavors

Great taste and works well..

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.

I was fascinated and also skeptical before buying this item due to other buyers experience of short expiry date for the item. Bought it during sale and to my surprise expiry date is one year and 3 months.

These taste really, really good, and come in a variety of cool flavors. I use them pre-workout on an empty stomach and have no issues. I do drink some water with them as recommended. They definitely give me a little boost that I need to exercise first thing in the morning. I’m okay doing fasted cardio but fasted strength training was not going well. The caffeinated gels seem to provide just enough “motivation” to push through weight lifting without insane amounts of caffeine that other pre-workout products provide. I highly recommended them! I’ve even found myself using one of the non-caffeinated gels as a tasty dessert on a few occasions.

Packet burst. No option to contact for a replacement.

I love this variety pack! I have also tried out other Gu gels but this is one of my favorites because I'm a chocolate girl at heart. I was surprised by how good the vanilla and coffee ones tasted! I also like a little bit of caffine to give me a boost mid run. I like the gel consistency and the tear-away top makes it easy to eat while running. I have definitely re-purchased and recommended to other friends!
