Athlete-Friendly GU Energy Gel, Strawberry Banana, 24-Count

GU Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, the energy gel that started it all, was developed by Dr. Bill Vaughn in 1993 to help his daughter perform better during ultra-marathons. Since then, GU has been helping the world's most successful extreme athletes achieve success.

GU Energy Gel sustains all forms of athletic activity with a highly compact, portable, and calorie-dense packet that is loaded with carbohydrates that can be rapidly absorbed. Branched-chain amino acids limit muscle fiber damage and increase the speed of recovery, while extra electrolytes help maintain water balance. Some flavors feature caffeine to increase concentration. Although the original formula has been tweaked and evolved over the years, the end result remains the same: GU Energy Gels fuel the best endurance athletes in the world.

GU Original Energy Gel comes in a wide variety of good-tasting flavors. Each packet contains 450mg of amino acids, 100 calories, and at least 21g total carbs. The Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel is designed to help athletes perform their best, providing 100 calories and essential electrolytes in a portable packet.

The gel's dual-source energy from maltodextrin and fructose uses non-competing pathways for efficient absorption and lasting energy, whether running, biking, hiking, or skiing. It can be used for training or racing year-round, with the recommendation to take one packet 5 minutes before and every 45 minutes during activity.

Branched-chain amino acids help decrease muscle damage and mental fatigue. The Strawberry Banana flavor is caffeine-free, vegan, and gluten-free, and contains 55mg of sodium and 35mg of potassium.
