WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN?
Carbohydrates - GU provides athletes with a dose of 100 calories in the form of 70-80% maltodextrin and 30-20% fructose (Ratio depends on taste.). Why mix? It's a complex carbohydrate, and studies have shown that some complex carbohydrates are actually digested faster than simple sugars like regular sugar and honey.
Amino Acid Blend - GU has a unique blend of amino acids to fight muscle fatigue, speed up the conversion of carbohydrates into usable energy, and maintain mental focus.
Electrolytes - Sodium and potassium to replenish what's lost during strenuous activity.
Caffeine - Some GU flavors are caffeinated while others are not. We add caffeine for two reasons: It acts as a stimulant and it lowers perceived exertion.
An optimal blend of carbohydrates, the proprietary GU amino blend and a full serving of vitamins C & E. GU Energy Gel has specially formulated texture and delicious taste that athletes have proven to like best.
HOW DO I USE GU ENERGY GEL?
