## Overview

GU Energy Running Gels deliver a scientifically balanced 100-calorie boost in a sleek, portable pouch, combining dual carbs, electrolytes, and BCAAs to sustain endurance athletes through running, cycling, triathlon, and more. Vegan, gluten-free, and kosher certified, these gels offer a clean, effective energy solution with a variety of flavors to prevent flavor fatigue and keep you performing at your best.

## Description

Product description Created for daily training and competition, GU Energy Gel packs energy-dense calories in a portable packet to help sustain energy demands of any duration or activity. The 100-calorie packet contains carbohydrates (maltodextrin and fructose) that use non-competing pathways to help maximize carbohydrate absorption and utilization while diminishing stomach distress. Sodium, the primary electrolyte lost in sweat, aids in hydration by maintaining water balance. The branched-chain amino acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine) may reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage. To avoid crashing while exercising, you need a portable source of easily digestible carbohydrates to fuel your muscles. GU Energy Gels are crafted to supply both energy and key nutrients like electrolytes and amino acids to keep you feeling strong and energized. The precise blend of complex and simple carbohydrates will fuel you up, so you feel good, longer. Our huge variety of delicious flavors will save you from flavor fatigue, so you can stick to your nutrition plan and keep going. Eat one Energy Gel every 30-45 minutes while exercising. We limited GU Energy Gel to 100 calories because, in general, the body can digest roughly 350 calories per hour during exercise. If you tried to eat more, the body would divert blood from your muscles to handle the excess food. If your metabolism is slow, then one GU every 45 minutes works fine. If you have an athlete’s metabolism, try ingesting one GU Energy Gel every 30 minutes and see if it agrees with you. Directions Eat one Energy Gel every 30-45 minutes while exercising. For those with a faster metabolism, try ingesting one GU Energy Gel every 30 minutes.

Review: Great - Good size - good energy boost
Review: Expensive but good - I like these they are truly like enjoying a sweet treat and a genuine sugar boost that keeps you going. I do find them a bit expensive and would probably be a bit heavy if they were the only gels to use in a run, due to cost I will use high5 and keep one of these as a treat in the last half of the race. If your a slow runner like me, meaning your on your feet a lot longer and need more gels for good fuelling, these work out too expensive, at least for me. Still 5 stars due to flavour, effect and no sticky hands as well as a nice small, neat package to carry.
