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 . 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 . The fat, fiber and protein found in bars are very slow to absorb and create unwanted bulk in the stomach . GU is created for the body during exercise, and because of its form and ingredients is absorbed much faster than a bar so you will feel the energy almost immediately . 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 . Available as: 1 - Pack
