GU Energy Original Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Dairy-Free Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, Raspberry Lemonade

GU Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, the pioneering energy gel, was developed by Dr. Bill Vaughn in 1993 to help his daughter perform better during ultra-marathons. Since then, GU has been assisting the world's most accomplished extreme athletes in achieving success. GU Energy Gel sustains all forms of athletic activity with a highly compact, portable, and calorie-dense packet that is loaded with carbohydrates for rapid absorption. 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 enhance concentration.

Although the original formula has been refined 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 is available in a wide variety of delicious flavors. With the launch of the new Raspberry Lemonade Gel, GU is proud to support Rising Hearts and its Running on Native Lands initiative, a program that aims to make it a common practice to acknowledge a respectful connection with the land, recognizing that the trails and roads we are privileged to run on are borrowed. Proceeds from the sale of this Gel will support Rising Hearts. Together, we can all help make the running community and the outdoor spaces where we play more accessible, safe, supportive, inclusive, and visible.

The Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel is designed to help athletes perform at their best, providing 100 calories and essential electrolytes in a portable packet. The dual-source energy from maltodextrin and fructose utilizes non-competing pathways for efficient absorption and lasting energy, whether running, biking, hiking, or skiing. This gel 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. The branched-chain amino acids help decrease muscle damage and mental fatigue.

The Raspberry Lemonade flavor is Caffeine Free, Vegan, and Gluten Free, and contains 55mg Sodium and 30mg Potassium.
