Some flavors contain caffeine to help you focus. The original formula has been fine-tuned and evolved over the years, but the end result is the same. GU Energy Gels fuel the world's best endurance athletes. GU Original Energy Gels come in a variety of great tastes. Each packet contains 450 mg of amino acids, 100 calories and at least 21 grams of total carbohydrates Ingredients Maltodextrin, water, fructose, L-leucine, potassium citrate, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, L-valine, sea salt, natural fragrance, green tea (leaf) extract (including caffein), gerangum, L-isoleucine, sunflower oil, sodium benzoate (preservative), potassium sorbate (preservatives) P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Safety Warning This product complies with US standards and may contain different ingredients, labels, or allergen warnings from similar products sold elsewhere See more Review: I was struggling with the incline on one of the hikes I did this summer. I tend to not be someone who eats while I hike, because it makes me nauseous. This particular hike, I was really struggling to make it and I felt like I was holding everyone back. I was glad to have packed a few of these and WOW did it make a difference. within a few minutes of eating one of them, I had a boost of energy and felt so much better. Even my heart rate adjusted. I loved the flavor and the ease of ripping off the top and squeezing out the contents. I purchased a 12 pack for the value. Good quality and I will buy again. Review: Very tasty energy gels. Using these for our big trek up Kilimanjaro in the fall. The protein bars are great but harden in colder temps so bought these gels to see if they are better. They taste great and no strange aftertastes. No GI problems afterwards. Mostly sugar and electrolytes… no protein. I got the ones with caffeine to increase my wakefulness. Great buy when you need a boost during moderate and strenuous exercise. ## Features - The Original Sport Nutrition Energy Gel designed for athletes to perform at their best. 100 calories and essential electrolytes in a portable packet - Dual energy sources from maltodextrin and fructose use uncompeting paths for efficient absorption and sustained energy, whether you are running, cycling, hiking or skiing - Can be used for training and racing all year round.

Alas, only 4 tastes in it, and they are many great ones. **Q: Purpose of amino acids in GU?** A: Hi, great question and thanks for asking! We have BCAA (branch chain amino acids) in just about all GU products. BCAA's refer to the three essential amino acids — leucine, valine, isoleucine. BCAA’s are metabolized in the muscle and help by preventing the breakdown of muscle tissue during and after exercise. Leucine, the most important amino acid, is critical in initiating the protein synthesis, the process through which your muscles rebuild and get stronger. So, these amino acids will help both during and after exercise! For more information and details, please see our website: www.guenergy.com Thanks! - Brian, GU Energy Labs **Q: Can anyone report on the shipping time for the Variety Pack? Estimated delivery date is the 7th. Can't believe it takes that long...** A: Hi David! The ship time would depend on where you live. We are located in Upstate New York so our ship times would vary based on your distance from the upper east coast. Although it usually doesn't, shipping to the west coast could very well take a full week. **Q: Are the "assorted flavors" the ones that are pictured? I ordered a box before from Amazon and it was different.** A: I have purchased the assorted flavors box three times, and each time it has been different. I have never received all the flavors pictured. I have always gotten some vanilla, chocolate, salted caramel, espresso, mandarin orange, strawberry banana. The number of each will vary, and the other flavors I get have also varied (e.g. sometimes I get blackberry or tri-berry, other times I don't). I have also gotten flavors that are not shown at all there. I have found that I do have a preference for some flavors, so now I order the boxes of the flavors I like. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***. on November 13, 2024* I was struggling with the incline on one of the hikes I did this summer.
