Made for demanding training and competition, GU Roctane Energy Gel is packed with more sodium and more branched-chain amino acids (leucine, valine, and isoleucine).
Sodium is an electrolyte that helps with hydration. Amino acid reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage. The amino acid beta-alanine helps promote formation of the intramuscular buffer carnosine, while ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate helps promote muscle repair.
The 100-calorie packets contain carbohydrates (maltodextrin and fructose) that use non-competing pathways to help maximize carbohydrate absorption and utilization while diminishing stomach distress.
Note: Each flavour of GU Energy Gel include various amount of sodium, amino acids, and caffeine. Check label on package.
