GU Roctane Energy Gel is specially crafted to meet the high - demand needs during training and competition. It outshines the original GU Energy Gel with a higher sodium content. Sodium is an essential electrolyte that helps with better hydration. Moreover, it contains more branched - chain amino acids (leucine, valine, and isoleucine) compared to the original gel. These amino acids are great for reducing mental tiredness and minimizing muscle damage. The amino acid taurine plays a key role in maintaining heart contractility and boosting cardiac output during long workouts. Beta - alanine promotes the formation of carnosine, an intramuscular buffer. Each 100 - calorie packet is filled with carbohydrates (maltodextrin and fructose). These carbs use non - competing pathways to maximize absorption and utilization while reducing stomach discomfort. The ingredients include maltodextrin, water, fructose, L - leucine, taurine, sodium citrate, L - valine, potassium citrate, citric acid, calcium carbonate, natural flavor, beta - alanine, green tea (leaf) extract (with caffeine), L - isoleucine, sea salt, gellan gum, medium - chain triglycerides, sodium benzoate (preservative), and potassium sorbate (preservative). And here's good news for those with special dietary needs: GU Roctane Energy Gel is vegan and gluten - free.
How to use: Simply open the packet and squeeze the gel into your mouth during your training or competition. It's a convenient way to get a quick energy boost. Note: If you have any allergies to the ingredients like caffeine from the green tea extract or other components, check the ingredients list carefully. There's no special maintenance required. Just store it in a cool, dry place. You can take it with you on your outdoor runs, cycling trips, or any other sports events for an instant energy pick - me - up.
