- Amino acids for added focus, rippin' energy and speedy recovery.

GU Chomps offer a change of pace from gels and an answer to that moment in your run, ride, ski, swim, hike…. when you just gotta have something to chomp on. GU Chomps utilize GU Energy Gel's proven blend of carbohydrates, amino acids, antioxidants and electrolytes in a chewable form.
Each serving of GU Chomps contains 4 pieces (90 calories) and will provide enough fuel for approximately 45-60 minutes of activity. One packet of Chomps contains 2 servings, which will keep you fueled for 1 ½ to 2 hours.
1 packet of Chomps = 2 servings = 1 ½ to 2 hours of activity
For optimal results, always drink 24 to 30 ounces of fluid per hour of exercise.
What's in it?
- Carbohydrates - A balance of complex carbs (maltodextrin) and simple carbs (tapioca syrup and cane sugar) as the basis for delivering fast and usable energy.
- Amino Acids - The GU amino blend is included for added focus, rippin' energy and speedy recovery.
- Antioxidants - Vitamin C + E, those mighty antioxidants that combat tissue breakdown.
- Electrolytes - Sodium and potassium to restore electrolyte balance.
- Caffeine - Some Chomps flavors are caffeinated, some are not. We add caffeine for two reasons: It acts as a stimulant— let’s call this the caffeine-kick effect—and it helps the body metabolize fat during exercise, providing the body with an additional fuel source.
How's it different?
Chomps are the only available energy chew based on the original GU Energy Gel. That means an optimized blend of carbohyrdates, the GU amino blend, and a full serving of Vitamin C & E. Chomps are the energy chew that perform as well as they taste.
How do I use it?
Chomps can be consumed before, during, and right after activity. A 2-serving packet will fuel 1 1/2 to 2 hours of activity, hydrate along the way.

Online Blogger GU Chomp Review from: www.chasingthekenyans.com
"One package of gu chomps contains two servings which will last 1.5 to 2
hours of activity (with water too of course). there are eight chomps in
the package, and it is recommended to take 4 chomps every 45 minutes of
activity. i used them as bait yesterday, so i didn't quite take them as
prescribed (1 chomp every couple of miles). i believe they still helped
maintain my energy levels and kept my legs from feeling tired until
near the end. my legs and i are not quite in shape. the chomps helped
keep me going twice as long as normal. additionally, i wasn't the least
bit sore, nor was i sore or stiff on sunday when i headed out. looks
like these chomps do their fair share of enabling a speedy recovery.
it doesn't hurt that gu chomps are delicious; i could eat these things
all day long. they're like gushers, but without the juicy, exploding
center. so i guess they're really more like gummy bears. i was kind of
tempted to just stop and eat them. they were tasty and helped me
survive"
What We say:
GU Chomps are a BIG Hit with our riding staff, because they're less
'sciency' than a GU Gel, as some people think a Gel is the equivalent of
'soylent-green'! GU Chomps reminds people of gummies and are more fun
to eat, the 'chewing' stimulates the brain and feels more satisfying
than just swallowing a gel. Eating a 'Chomp' is more of a happy 'reward'
event...if you know what we mean.
What GU says:
GU Chomps contain amino acids, vitamin c+e, sodium, potassium, and gu's
exclusive blend of complex and simple carbohydrates. (more on their
ingredients and benefits here.) compared to other chewy-fuels, chomps
have the least calories, least sugars, highest ratio complex-to-simple
carbs, highest antioxidants, highest potassium, and is the only brand
with amino acids.
GU Chomps offer a change of pace from energy gels and an answer to that
moment in your run, ride, ski, swim, hike…. when you just gotta have
something to chomp on.
GU Chomps deliver the premium ingredients and performance benefits you've come to expect from GU Energy products.
All in all, a superior choice to propel you in your athletic pursuits.
GU Chomps utilize GU Energy Gel's proven blend of carbohydrates, amino acids, antioxidants and electrolytes in a chewable form.
Carbohydrates:
Like GU, Chomps contain a balance of complex carbohydrates
(maltodextrin) and simple carbs (tapioca syrup and cane sugar) as the
basis for delivering fast and usable energy. Each carbohydrate plays a
key role in fueling your competitive fire. Together they get you moving
faster and longer, not to mention helping you feel better on the
rebound.
Amino Acids:
Of course there is more to GU and Chomps than just carbs. Both contain
branched chain amino acids, which provide extra energy during exercise
and play a key role in maintaining concentration and accelerating
recovery from a hard workout or race.
GU Chomps are the only energy chews on the market with amino acids.
Antioxidants:
GU Chomps are chock full of two key antioxidants, all natural vitamins C
and E. Free radicals hate us! We can't guarantee that you won't bonk or
won't be sore after a long workout, but certainly the advanced food
science behind GU products will help.
GU Chomps are the only energy chew on the market with 100% DV of Vitamins C & E.
Electrolytes:
Meaningful levels of electrolytes, when supported by water, help you stay hydrated and firing on all cylinders.
GU Chomps contain 55mg of sodium & 40mg of potassium per serving.
Caffeine:
Caffeine has meaningful benefits for athletes during training or racing
as it: stimulates the central nervous system and increases the release
of adrenalin and helps the body metabolize fat as fuel.
