Review: Good taste, no stomach issues - I'm a relatively new long distance runner, and as I started to push out to 1+ hour runs, I knew that I would need something to take while on the trail to keep me going. Everywhere I looked, Gu was the #1 recommended running gel and to me, seems to be the least expensive. I'd heard that some of the flavors can sometimes cause stomach issues, so I chose to get this sample pack to try out and see how I liked it. The package comes with the following flavors: Mandarin orange: By far my favorite of the group, the light orange flavor of this gel went down easily and left a light aftertaste that was not unpleasant. The taste came across as authentic and didn't taste fake at all, without the sugary sweetness I really dislike. Lemon Sublime: My second favorite, this has the taste of light lemonade, again with an aftertaste that was not unpleasant Salted Watermelon: I'm not a fan of artificial watermelon flavors, so I'll admit that I was not looking forward to this one, however it left me pleasantly surprised! The watermelon flavor was light and smooth and I actually enjoyed it a lot. Strawberry banana: This one tasted like Yoplait strawberry yogurt to me. I'm not a fan of artificial banana flavor either, but this one didn't give me that fake banana impression. Jet Blackberry: Picture a an intense blackberry jam, but without the high sugar content. This tasted almost like pie filling and was really enjoyable. Overall, I felt that not only was the flavor of the packets pretty great, I definitely felt a nice energy boost during my runs. The caffeine content didn't build to an intolerable amount over time and I definitely can see usage for marathons and beyond. One note here, the packet recommends that you take it 5 minutes before every 45 minute mark (i.e. at 00:40, 00:85, etc), as well as one five minutes before starting but I took these every thirty minutes during my runs (and none before). I didn't feel any negative effects to this, so I definitely think its fine to do so, just experiment with what works for you. I've been wholeheartedly recommending these to my friends and I definitely do to you as well. Review: The Pick-up Your Long Run Is Craving - As an avid endurance athlete, I've tried my fair share of nutrition products, but GU Energy Gel has truly become a staple in my training regimen. These gels are everything your endurance training ordered! The texture is smooth, making it easy to consume during long runs or bike rides without the sticky mess some other gels leave behind. What I appreciate most is the variety of flavors—there's something for everyone, from the refreshing taste of Salted Caramel to the zesty Raspberry. Each packet provides a quick boost of energy, delivering carbohydrates and electrolytes precisely when you need them. I've noticed a significant difference in my performance and recovery when incorporating GU into my routine. Moreover, I love that they are easily digestible, which is crucial during intense workouts. I never experience the stomach issues I’ve faced with other products. The resealable packaging is also a plus, allowing me to carry a few without worrying about spills. Overall, GU Energy Gel is a thoughtfully designed product that meets the demands of endurance training. Whether you're training for a marathon or tackling a challenging cycling route, these gels will keep you fueled and ready to conquer your goals.

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 they vegan?** A: Hi, thanks for the great question. Yes, all GU Energy Gels and Roctane Energy Gels are vegan. Cheers, -Brian, GU Energy Labs **Q: Is this product kosher?** A: There’s no K label on the packaging **Q: Do you have take these with water? What happens if you don't?** A: It all depends on your body. You don't HAVE to take them with water, but some people like to. You open up the packet and it is basically like a heavy paste you squeeze into your mouth. It is thicker than syrup. I love them. I love the taste of all of them. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good taste, no stomach issues *by A***C on January 8, 2023* I'm a relatively new long distance runner, and as I started to push out to 1+ hour runs, I knew that I would need something to take while on the trail to keep me going.
