Bite-Sized Chewable Energy
GU Energy Chews are a source of quick, sustained energy in a tasty gummy form. We've boosted ours with amino acids to support muscle health and sodium to replace electrolytes lost in sweat. It's quite literally the GU you can chew.
The GU You Can Chew
Tasty, Energy-Packed Gummies For Fueling On The Go
GU Energy Chews are crafted to supply both energy and key nutrients like electrolytes and amino acids to keep you feeling strong and energized. Energy Chews have similar nutrients per serving to Original GU Energy Gels, delivering the energy you need in chewable, bite-sized pieces. What's inside?
Two Types of Carbohydrates
A mix of fast-acting and sustained-release carb sources (maltodextrin and fructose) helps maximize absorption, increase carbohydrate utilization, and diminish stomach distress, for energy that kicks in quickly and stays with you.
Sodium Helps With Hydration
Our Energy Chews contain sodium, the primary electrolyte lost in sweat. It aids in hydration by maintaining fluid balance.
Protect Your Muscles With BCAAs
We've also included a branched-chain amino acid blend of L-Leucine, L-Valine, and L-Isoleucine, which may reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage while jump-starting recovery.†

Flavor Science
Orange
These take the classic soccer game orange slices to the next level. The tangy (but not quite sour) zip will get your mouth watering, but the juicy sweetness swiftly evens things out. This refreshing citrus flavor is at the top of its game.
0–1 Hours Of Effort
When you're exercising for an hour or less, it's important to start your workout well-hydrated and energized. Five minutes before your activity, top off your energy stores with one serving of Energy Chews. It's always best to take a few sips of water to help your body process your fuel.
1–2 Hours Of Effort
When you're exercising for longer than an hour, it's important to refuel along the way. Aim to eat one serving of Energy Chews every 20–30 minutes to keep going strong, and be sure to hydrate while taking gels to help your body efficiently process your fuel.
2–3 Hours Of Effort
As you increase exercise duration, your body needs more. Supplement your Energy Chews with Energy Gels, Hydration Tabs for electrolyte replacement, or Roctane Energy Drink for energy and hydration in one.
3+ Hours Of Effort
During really long efforts, it's impossible to replace everything you're burning, but you can maximize your performance by eating as much as your body can comfortably process. Boost your BCAA consumption with Roctane Energy Gels or Roctane Drink Mix, which will help protect your muscles as you go longer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use Energy Chews instead of Energy Gels?
While the consistency of an Energy Gel is designed to be absorbed as efficiently as possible, we’ve created GU Energy Chews just in case you want to sink your teeth into something else. Chews contain all the benefits of GU Energy Gel, just in a chewable form.
How long do Energy Chews take to work?
Since Chews are solid, they will take a little longer to digest and absorb than an Energy Gel. On an empty stomach, the energy from Chews can hit your bloodstream in as little as 10–15 minutes.
Do Energy Chews have caffeine?
Just one flavor has caffeine – Strawberry, with 20mg per serving. Blueberry Pomegranate, Orange, Salted Lime, and Watermelon are caffeine free.
Are Energy Chews safe for children?
Chews are safe for children to eat while exercising, but remember that the Strawberry flavor contains caffeine.

Strawberry
Just like your grandmother’s homemade jam, Strawberry Energy Chews are perfectly sweet, a little tart, and definitely bold. It’s like we took the brightest strawberry right off the bush and packed that flavor into an energy-packed chew. They taste like a gummy snack, and work like a champion.
+20mg CAFFEINE per serving
Blueberry Pomegranate
Blueberry Pomegranate blends two unique berry essences into one smooth flavor. (Fun fact: Pomegranates are technically berries!) Called Blue Pom for short, it is sweet, floral, and fruity. Tastes like a favorite gummy candy, works like an Energy Chew. (Love this flavor? Try our Blueberry Pomegranate ROCTANE Energy Gel!)
Watermelon
As any juicy watermelon should be, this flavor is mouth-watering. The timeless refreshing taste of watermelon highlights every bite, while a touch of sweetness acts as a supporting role. But the star in this flavor? Juiciness. Bursting with juiciness, this flavor will make your mouth water and remind you of summer.
Salted Lime
A tart and mouthwatering GU you can chew with triple the sodium of other GU Chews to aid in your hydration.
