Gu is a convenient, great tasting carbohydrate gel formulated to energize before, sustain during, and aid in recovery after training and competitions. Made with a unique blend of ingredients, GU provides: complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, amino acids to maintain muscle protein, antioxidants and muscle buffers to aid with recovery and GU's patented herbal blend for enhanced energy production. GU helps you feel and perform your best.


How to Use Gu? Follow these three simple steps to maximize your athletic performance:

  • Top off your energy stores by taking one packet of GU 15 minutes before exercise, preferably on an empty stomach for fastest absorption.
  • For sustained energy consume one packet of GU every 35-45 minutes during exercise, washing it down with a few mouthfuls of water or GU2O hydration drink to speed absorption.
  • Speed recovery and reduce post-exercise fatigue by eating one packet of GU within 30 minutes of finishing your workout. This takes advantage of the post-exercise time window when your body replenishes lost glycogen most efficiently.

Gu Ingredients

Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates provide the quick, sustained energy source in GU. 85% are complex carbohydrates from maltodextrin and 15% are simple carbohydrates from fructose.

Amino Acids: Leucine and Valine are two vital amino acids in GU that help maintain muscle protein and aid with recovery.

Antioxidants: Vitamins C and E are important antioxidants in GU. They help protect against tissue damage from free radicals, which are produced by the muscle's burning of oxygen. GU contains 100% RDI of vitamins C & E in each packet to protect your tissues, help reduce soreness and aid with recovery.

Muscle Buffers: Histidine, another amino acid in GU, buffers against lactic acid buildup in your muscles. This helps alleviate muscle fatigue while exercising and soreness during recovery. GU is the only gel that contains histidine.

Herbal Blend: GU's unique herbal blend combines the perfect fusion of herbs for energy-enhancement (cola-nut), anti-inflammatory (chamomile), and stomach buffering (ginger).

Caffeine: Espresso Love contains an added jolt of 40 mg of caffeine, while Strawberry Banana and Lemon Sublime have none at all. All other flavors contain 20mg (equivalent to 1/5 cup of coffee) per serving from cola-nut. The caffeine level in GU is not enough to give a "caffeine rush," but is added to help you utilize body fat as an additional fuel source during activity.

This product really helped me train and get through my first marathon. I found myself being so tired halfway through and a shot of this does wonders. The products pretty thick if you're new to these types of supplements, but I can't recommend this enough, especially if you're going for an endurance event.

I made the mistake of not supplementing adequately in a triathlon in the past and will never do that again. I wish I’d known about GU Energy Gel back then. Thus carb gel can be taken during and after training or events to sustain your energy. Avoid the energy crash mid-point. Contact MrSupplement now to get some GU Energy Gel for your next event.

I do mixed martial arts, with light high repetition weight work in the gym and I was over a long period of training lacking in energy big time. When I first started training, I was excited and had the spring in the step, but I hit a major flat spot and my feet were dragging all day long and when I got to training I wasn't full of hype as I usually was. I got slower and the angry head started to show. I usually take protein powder for my training, but I needed something else. I didn't want to admit it to myself that I needed something more (ego), but I looked around at what was available and settled on GU Energy Gels as it was easy to take and had 8 different flavours. I love the Expresso and Orange! I get all my supplements from Mr Supplement, so it was simple and convenient. Immediately I experienced a new boost with GU. We train for 2-3 hours. I would take half a gel pack 15 minutes before training and half at our break in the session. My mental alertness improved and more importantly training is no longer a chore due to the increase in energy levels. I seem also to recover much better and I've got that 'buzz'again from going.

By using GU Energy I was kind of skeptical as to whether it would sustain throughout the session or be a quick 5 minute burst and then level off to nothing. However the GU Gel surprised me as the energy level stays up there and you don't get a quick hit, but rather a constant buzz. You feel great after training and I recommend this to anyone looking for an energy source to assist in their training. Bravo Mr Supplement, you have it all covered.
