- Rip open the top and squeeze the entire packet into your mouth - don't save half of it for later. GU Energy Gel's recipe of carbohydrates and amino acids was created to be taken in one shot to provide you with maximum benefits.
- When you stop, go ahead and eat a pack of GU Energy Gel, even if it's been less than 30 minutes from your last shot of gel. Now that you've stopped exercising, your stomach can handle those calories and needs them to start restoring your muscle glycogen - essentially the body's instant fuel reservoirs.
- The fructose converts quickly into an energy molecule that your muscles can tap within minutes. The maltodextrin, which makes up 70-80% of the carbohydrate blend (depending on flavour), takes several minutes longer. Because of this delay, your muscles enjoy a steady stream of energy instead of one gigantic sugar rush and a corresponding crash.
- Contains 40mg of caffeine: caffeine consumption during exercise improves performance in several ways: it sharpens focus and perks you up; but more importantly, it helps the body produce more power, reduce the pain of hard efforts, and may even tap fat for fuel during exercise. All of this prolongs your ability to exercise at a high intensity. GU use just enough caffeine to jump start this benefit and no more.
- The gel thickens in cold weather so keep it close to your body to keep it warm in cold conditions
- Kosher
- While GU Energy Gel was designed for endurance sports, it can be used anytime you need energy to fuel a workout. It can also serve as a 100 calorie pick-me-up if you're dragging or simply need a snack to carry you through until your next meal.
