GU Original Energy Gels — Assorted Flavors, 24-Count Pack

Reviews

1. S Susana del Rocío García Rodríguez 5/5

   Nice variety

   Good assortment with flavors you don’t always get to sample.

2. R Rae 5/5

   Tiny packets of fuel that actually work

   These aren’t meal replacements — they’re compact carb sources for when stopping isn’t practical. Each packet delivers about 100 calories and 21–23 g of carbs, plus sodium and amino acids; some flavors add caffeine. For supplying quick carbs during activity, they do their job well.

3. M Mouse 5/5

   Solid pre-ride fuel

   I take one before cycling — when I skip it I notice less stamina. The taste is good; if you don’t crave sweets the texture may not appeal. Handy, portable packs for long rides and I’ve had no digestion issues. Caffeine didn’t affect me.

4. R rodney velarde 5/5

   Aid-station quick pick-me-up

   Ideal for long runs and race days. The new flavor options are nice, but you’ll want water nearby. They haven’t upset my stomach, boost energy and help keep blood sugar steady.

5. L Lucy 5/5

   All flavors are enjoyable

   Every flavor I tried was delicious.

6. S Steven Bruns author of Rage in the Night 5/5

   Useful for managing low blood sugar

   As a type 1 for decades, I’ve used many quick-sugar options. These fit in a pocket and provide enough carbs to raise glucose without overshooting, plus the endurance benefits. Great on long trips and they’ve come in handy at outings. I like the pudding-like texture and the flavors.

7. A Abby 5/5

   Runner-friendly and flavorful

   I enjoy this variety pack. Chocolate is my favorite but the vanilla and coffee flavors surprised me. The tear-top makes them easy to consume while running. I repurchased and recommended them to friends.

8. G Gabby 4/5

   Big energy in a small pouch, texture is thick

   Chocolate flavor was spot on, but the gel is a bit thick and leaves your mouth dry without water. Still edible if you’re not picky, and they definitely provide a noticeable energy hit.

9. R Raker 5/5

   Longer shelf life than expected

   I bought these and was worried about short expiries others mentioned. Mine showed an expiration about fifteen months out, which was a relief.

10. L Liza H. 5/5

    Highly recommended for endurance activities

    Received the expected flavors and they were delicious — I’d used them before. Great for improving performance during prolonged efforts; I recommend them.

11. T True 5/5

    Fast-acting without unpleasant side effects

    They kick in quickly and taste good. Other energy products gave me jitters or heartburn, but these energized me without negative effects. They stand out among what I’ve tried.

12. H Hans Pedersen 5/5

    Performs well internationally

    Arrived in the UAE and worked as expected. Tastes great and provided the energy I needed.

13. E Eric 5/5

    Reliable energy — watch for leaks

    Very effective and tasty. Easy to take and delivers fast, sustained energy without jitters. I alternated these with an endurance drink on a multi-day ride and could feel the boost within minutes. Note: some packets can leak, so store carefully.
