Dr. William Vaughan, creator of the world's first energy bar, is the man who turned the health industry on its head. He single-handedly started the energy bar craze, subsequently inventing an entire industry. However, he was disappointed in the effects of energy bars on athletes.

In the late 1980s, Dr. Vaughan started experimenting with a way for athletes to consume their vital carbohydrates without having to digest all the solid ingredients in energy bars. He stated working with gels, and found that they could transport energy to working muscles within minutes, and without stomach pain.

GU Energy Gel is now the preferred "food" for athletes while training, working out and racing.
