    J’utilise déjà régulièrement la version “Triple Baies” de cette marque pour mes courses longues. Comme ces dernières le format de ces gourdes est très bien adapté pour les sorties longues (j’en consomme un par tranche de 10 km parcourus) et dont le goût est agréable ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas dans ce genre de produit.

    Faciles à transporter, ces gourdes contiennent dans un faible volume (32g), une grande quantité d’énergie pour seulement 100 calories. Elles apportent l’énergie nécessaire grâce au fructose naturel (sucre rapide) et à la maltodextrine absorbée immédiatement par les muscles. Comme elles contiennent un ensemble de sels minéraux, elles retardent aussi la déshydratation. Elles permettent aussi de soutenir les efforts intenses grâce aux glucides complexes qui stabilisent le taux de glycémie sanguine tandis que les citrates accélèrent la conversion de ces glucides en molécules énergétiques.

    Attention, il est préférable de boire l’équivalent d’un verre d’eau juste après son absorption, cela permet de diluer l’effet sucré tout en maximisant leur effet.

    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.

    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

    Great for racing especially if you struggle to eat during the race or the terrain makes it difficult to open and eat a granola bar. Tastes good and provides good energy.

    No unnatural chemical taste. Sweet, but not disgustingly extra-sweet. Small enough to put several in one pocket and take enough even for a very long activity. The only gel taste that I tolerate for years without getting tired or fed up.

    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.)

    Decent flavor and as easy to get down as any gel (which isn’t that easy but easier than gummies). I wish they offered a smaller packet because it’s kind of hard to get the whole thing down, especially late in a run and once you’ve opened it, you’re committed to either finishing it or finding a trash can. I’d rather carry twice as many 50cal packs and be able to eat less at a time.
    The packet offers some excessive recommendations about how many of these to use (1 before starting then another one every 45 minutes). If you follow those instructions, you’ll probably puke (or want to). . Everybody’s different but if you’re new to gels and sports one uses them for, don’t start by following the directions, start with a much more conservative regimen (like none to start and 1 every 90 minutes or 2 hours) to see how you tolerate it and how often you really need it. Also, they recently started marketing this as something you might eat in casual settings like before going to the gym- that’s ridiculous- the only reason to use this product rather than eat real food is if the duration and circumstances of your activity require fuel that a) you can carry with you in short shorts b) you can consume while moving and c) can get your blood sugar up without requiring a fully operational digestive system. It’s not a workout enhancer, it’s just a packet of sugars and electrolytes that tastes good enough that it doesn’t make most people sick.

    Great flavor, good nutriments, great packaging.
    It’s very nice. I wish it would be more affordable, I save those on runs or rides above 2hours.

    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 perfect for having before or during a long run to keep energy up. I like to run in the mornings but I can’t get up early enough to give a meal time to settle before a run. These Gu gels are great for this as I can have one then run immediately after, they never give me stomach trouble, and the caffeine gives you a little extra boost. The packets are also leak-proof and easy to tear open while you’re on the go if you want to eat one while running. The salted caramel flavor is delicious too which helps!
