GUEnergy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Dairy-Free On-the-Go Energy for Any Workout, 24-Count, Salted Caramel

I take a caffinated one of these right before my weightlifting session and a non-caffinated one 45 minutes in. I can go all out for 90 minutes without my energy fading. They are very expensive, but it's well worth the price. Tastes great too.

I only wish I could get these cheaper but otherwise they're great. I wouldn't want them to reduce in price if it meant a sacrifice in quality. They taste good, they're fairly small and easy to carry/consume on the go, and they haven't caused me any stomach issues. I like that this flavor has a small dose of caffeine as well.

I count on GU to get me to the finish line. I typically only tryst a few flavors to not give me heartburn or stomach disturbance. Vanilla and caramel are my go to. Caffeine level is just right too.

I use GU for fuel during my long distance runs, anywhere from 8 to 20 miles. Its compact, so it's easy to carry with me. I prefer the salted caramel because its higher in sodium for electrolyte replacement and has 20mg caffeine for an energy boost. The flavor is good, as well as the chocolate flavored version. The cost is comparable to similar products, and I've tried a few. GU is my favorite overall.

These are my go-to for long runs. The taste is great and they do what they're supposed to with an energy boost. I take the first one after 45min, and then one every 45min after that. Definitely need water to stop it gumming up in the mouth, but no digestive issues.

Of all their current flavors, this is arguably the least "sugary," and also the one that's least likely to get pukey in the stomach, at least for me. The others are just way too sweet. Still haven't used it in a race (soon, though), but will update this review then.

I waffled between 4 and 5 stars on this one but ultimately went with 5 because this Gu fulfills its purpose perfectly: it delivers an extra hit of sodium in a largely non-revolting manner. (If you're new to Gu: most flavors have ~60mg Sodium while a few special ones have more; salted caramel has 125mg.) For me, getting the extra sodium in a delivery system that has a good chance of not being horked up into the cheering crowd (of elderly speed walkers - I'm not a track star here) is crucial, and this Gu does that. Some finer points on flavor -- upon civilized taste testing it is rather like a tube of cut rate salted caramel, and out on a run where it counts the salty notes come through strong and help overcome the sweetness a bit. (A plus, for me, because it's the cloying sweetness of the other non-fruit flavors that often results in the aforementioned horking.)

i used to use the power gels from powerbar. They quit making the only flavor i could stand so i needed to find something else. I did some research to find what was the best bang for your buck as far as taste and effectiveness. I came across this salted caramel GU. BOOM...love it....not only does it help me through my runs, but it tastes great. I actually look forward to having it. Maybe its just because i suffered through the taste of the power gels is the reason i appreciate the taste of these so much. Or maybe not? i highly recommend trying it for yourself
