GU Energy still insist that GU Energy Gel (and Roctane Energy Gel) is the ideal source of fuel for an athlete while training or racing, but just in case you crave something to sink your teeth into, they've created GU Energy Chews. Chews contain all the benefits of GU Energy Gel, in a chewable form. Do GU Energy Chews have caffeine? The Strawberry and Black Cherry flavors have 20mg of caffeine per serving, and Raspberry has 40mg, while Blueberry Pomegranate, Orange, and Watermelon are caffeine free. How do I eat GU Energy Chews? GU Energy Chews have a perferated strip at the top that allows you to squeeze out one Chomp at a time. Remember, 4 Chews equal 1 serving. How many packets of GU Energy Chews do I need? 1 packet of Chews contains 1 serving, or 4 chews, which will provide enough fuel for 30 to 45 minutes. That said, all athletes are different and they encourage you to experiment with what works best for you. Remember to hydrate along the way! How long do GU Energy Chews take to work? Since Chews are semi-solid it will take a little longer than with a gel for your body to feel the effects. The nutritional benefit of Chews should hit your bloodstream within 10-15 minutes.
