Gu Energy Gels were launched in 1991, its patented carbohydrate blend delivers high-quality, easily-digested and long-lasting energy for athletes in every sport and at all levels.

Energise:

  • A shot of fast-acting natural fructose (fruit sugar) goes straight to work building your energy levels back up while the maltodextrin is quickly absorbed and sent to your muscles.
  • Vital electrolytes keep your blood chemistry in line and hydration levels stable.
  • Calcium keeps your muscles humming and caffeine adds an extra kick to your power

Sustain:

  • Complex carbs in the form of maltodextrin (70-80% of the complex/simple carbohydrates blend) help you maintain glucose levels over time.
  • Citrates (potassium citrate, sodium citrate and citric acid) help speed the conversion of these carbs into energy molecules and mitigate performance-sapping acid build-up in muscles.
  • Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, valine and isoleucine, serve as another fuel source, aid in recovery and can improve mental performance and reduce fatigue by limiting the central nervous system’s production of serotonin.
  • Histidine, an essential amino acid, acts alongside the citrates as a buffer that helps neutralize lactic acid build-up in muscles

Recover:

  • Antioxidant vitamins C & E defend muscles from assault by free radicals.
  • Chamomile works as an anti-inflammatory during and after exercise.
  • Ginger soothes the stomach. Sea salt supplies a host of minerals.

Triathlon 220 magazine says: What a rare treat! These great tasting gels from Gu offer flavour, nutritional options and a unique stance in terms of viscosity. Instead of following a more liquid trend, they actually move closer to the texture of a mildly melted chew with all flavours being perfectly palatable. This makes it easier to simultaneously take in oxygen and eat compared to standard gels, even more so with a water chaser
