Product Description

Crafted with a precise blend of maltodextrin and fructose, GU Energy Gel maximizes carbohydrate absorption and minimizes the risk of stomach discomfort, making it ideal for any endurance activity. Each 100-calorie packet offers a dual-source carbohydrate formula to fuel muscles, while sodium helps maintain hydration, and BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) support both physical endurance and mental clarity.

This energy gel has been a favourite among endurance athletes since its launch in 1991, providing premium, digestible fuel for training, competition, or any demanding activity.

GU Energy Gel is built to be convenient and effective, giving athletes an easy-to-digest fuel option that doesn’t compromise on performance. The compact design makes it ideal for on-the-go consumption, whether you’re running, cycling, or tackling a long trail.

Available in a range of unique flavours like Salted Caramel, Jet Blackberry, and Mandarin Orange, GU keeps the taste experience enjoyable, helping you avoid flavour fatigue and stick to your nutrition plan.

Each gel packet is gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and kosher, offering an inclusive option for athletes with dietary preferences.

The carbohydrate blend in GU Energy Gel supplies both quick and sustained energy, ensuring you don’t experience sudden energy spikes and drops.

By using both maltodextrin for immediate fuel and fructose for longer-lasting energy, this gel supports your energy needs for workouts of any intensity.

GU’s formulation also replenishes essential electrolytes to replace those lost through sweat, aiding in hydration and muscle function. The added BCAAs (leucine, valine, and isoleucine) help protect muscles from fatigue, giving you the mental and physical resilience to push harder.

GU Energy Gel is an essential partner in preventing "bonking" – the dreaded crash in energy that can hit during intense exercise.

With each packet delivering not only energy but also vital nutrients, GU supports peak performance, especially in endurance sports. Whether you’re training for a marathon or going for a weekend ride, GU Energy Gel provides the balanced energy you need to feel strong, stay focused, and achieve your goals.

  • BCAA Support: Contains BCAAs to protect muscles, contribute to energy production, and reduce mental fatigue.

How does it work?

GU Energy Gel delivers concentrated energy through a blend of carbohydrates, electrolytes, and BCAAs to sustain athletic performance.

As the gel is consumed, carbohydrates from maltodextrin and fructose rapidly convert to glucose, fuelling muscles with immediate and consistent energy.

This dual carbohydrate system prevents sudden energy spikes and crashes, supporting both short and long-duration activities with a steady energy release.

In addition to carbs, electrolytes like sodium help maintain hydration by replacing the salts lost through sweat, preventing dehydration and promoting optimal muscle function.

Taken with a few sips of water, GU Gel’s formula is quickly absorbed, providing an energy boost and essential nutrients to keep you going.
