GU Energy Gel
800-969-6199
GU is the ultimate convenient athletic fuel. It can help you avoid the "killer B's" of training: bulk and bonking. The beauty of GU is that it is not something you have to chew countless times to get down or consume gobs of water to aid in digestion.
GU Energy Gel is specifically formulated to energize your body during exercise. Using GU during your regular workouts will keep your mind alert and active, and your muscles going strong. GU gives the most concentrated form of immediate energy with no stomach bulk or distress, is quickly and efficiently absorbed, and will maintain your blood sugar at the optimal level for a great workout start to finish.
The goal of GU is to deliver energy fast and efficiently. It replenishes the calories burned during activity like a sports bar, but leaves out all the fiber, protein and fat. This way, those calories are absorbed rapidly! During a workout or race, no matter what type, you need to quickly absorb carbohydrate-based calories to replace the glucose you are burning at 400 - 600 per hour or you will begin to lose concentration and energy.
GU Energy Gel contains maltodextrin, the best complex carbohydrate for delivering energy to working muscles. GU also contains the optimal balance of carbohydrates for the body during exercise: 80% complex, 20% simple. It is this balance of maltodextrin and fructose in GU that delivers a quick rise in blood sugar and maintains that glucose level for up to 45 minutes during exercise.
GU is packaged in a unique, compact pouch that can be opened, eaten and washed down with a few mouthfuls of H20 in less than a minute. Its ultra-long chain glucose polymers and essential amino acids, combined with the right blend of potassium, sodium and calcium, are rapidly absorbed with minimal digestion. High energy herbs and antioxidants are also added to boost endurance and well-being. So all this means improved performance, less fatigue and faster recovery.
By simply adding GU to your normal workout routine - one packet 15 minutes before starting then one packet every 45 minutes or so - you will feel strong and energized.
Compare GU to other energy gels.
