GU Energy Chews: Double Serving Size Bags - Individual Info

The GU Energy Chews - Double Serving Size Bags are a portable, chewable fuel source for cyclists, runners, and triathletes who want flexible dosing during long efforts. Each bag holds 16 chews — two servings of eight — so you can eat half the bag at the start of a hard effort and save the rest for later, or take the full bag at once if the intensity calls for it. The dual-carbohydrate formula combines maltodextrin and organic cane sugar to engage two separate intestinal transport pathways simultaneously, moving carbs into the bloodstream faster than a single sugar source alone can manage.

Each serving delivers 90 calories, 22g of carbohydrates, 40mg of sodium, and 400mg of branched-chain amino acids — leucine, valine, and isoleucine — to support muscle function during sustained efforts. Strawberry is the one caffeinated option in the lineup, with 20mg per serving from white tea leaf extract; all other flavors are caffeine-free. The formula is certified gluten-free, vegan, and kosher, using pectin instead of gelatin. GU recommends taking one serving 5–15 minutes before activity, then continuing with one serving every 45 minutes on the bike or run, with water.
