Energy is what allows us to exercise our bodies. Whether you are a short or long distance runner, cyclist or triathlete, swimmer or tennis player, skier or climber, amateur or professional team sports athlete, GU gel provides you with the energy your body needs to feel good and perform at its best. GU gel is an extremely tasty carbohydrate energy gel,
designed to provide energy before and during exercise, but
and to contribute to recovery after training or competition. During any form of competition or training, our body burns 300-600 calories per hour. These calories must be replaced immediately with fast-absorbing carbohydrates in order to maintain the blood sugar level and to keep the body's energy reserves at a high level from the beginning to the end of the exercise.
The fats, fiber and proteins found in various bars make them very slow to absorb and create disturbances in the stomach, burdening the digestion process. Think of GU energy gel as a concentrated form of energy, which
does not cause stomach or other disorders and is available in a simple and practical package of 32 grams.
Recommended dose:Fitness: For light runs, bike rides, weight training and any other form of light exercise, consume one GU gel 5' before starting and one every 45' thereafter. Remember to warm up and cool down well and don't forget to drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
Training : Do you have a specific goal in mind? Do you follow a serious training program? Are you preparing for a new season or are you just a sports fanatic? Then the "recipe" for you is as follows: Consume one GU gel 5' before starting and then one every 30 to 45'. During exercise make sure to replenish the components lost through sweating by consuming a drink with electrolytes and don't forget to do some light stretching immediately after your exercise.
Races : For the particularly increased demands of a race day, follow the advice of the GU Energy Labs scientific team: Consume one GU gel 45' before the race and follow up with another 5' before the start. Then you get a GU gel every 30-45', one at the finish and one 45' afterwards for better recovery. Don't forget to consume 500-700ml/hour of electrolytes during and after the race.
GU energy gel is
specially designed to provide energy during exercise. The GU
gives immediate energy to the mind and body, because it does not contain fats, vegetable fibers or protein, ingredients that slow down digestion and absorption. Below is some useful information about the ingredients:
-
Carbohydrates : the complex carbohydrate (maltodextrin) contained in GU is a long-chain glucose polymer. The simple form of carbohydrate (fructose) is a sugar that comes from fruit and converts to glucose at a slower rate. These two different forms of carbohydrate if consumed before exercise of short or prolonged duration
have been shown to keep glucose levels stable.
-
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) : GU contains significant amounts of the essential amino acids BCAA's, leucine and valine. The consumption of branched chain amino acids during exercise
it can prevent or reduce the ratio of protein loss and
to improve both mental and physical performance.
-
Antioxidants : GU is the only energy gel that provides 100% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of Vitamins C & E which
they prevent cell damage from free radicals.
-
Muscle protection : GU is the only energy gel that contains the essential amino acid Histidine which
reduces the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles.
-
A mixture of herbs : GU's herbal blend
it contains chamomile, an anti-inflammatory, ginger for stomach relief and
caffeine for fat metabolism and quick assimilation of ingredients.
- The GU
it contains same to you
sea salt, a rich source of minerals and calcium which is
essential for muscle contraction.
FAQEach GU Energy Gel contains 100 calories, yet I burn 100 calories in 10 minutes. Shouldn't I be taking more than one gel every 30-45 minutes?We limit the calories in each GU Energy Gel to 100, although generally our bodies can digest about 350 calories per hour. If you try to consume more calories, your body will draw blood from your muscles and take it to your stomach, which you do not want under any circumstances. If your metabolism is slow, a GU Energy Gel every 45 minutes is fine. If you have an athlete's metabolism, try a GU Energy Gel every 30 minutes and see how your stomach behaves. We remind you that all "tests" must be done in training and not on the day of the match.
How to eat GU Energy Gel?Tear off the top of the package (of the gel), put the opening in the mouth and squeeze. Do not save a quantity of gel for later, one gel is one dose. The GU Energy Gel recipe includes carbohydrates and amino acids and is made to be consumed in one go, and give you maximum results.
How can I use GU Energy Gel to help my recovery after a hard workout or race?At the end of a workout or race you can take a GU Energy Gel, even if it hasn't been 30 minutes since you last took it. When you stop exercising, your stomach can easily digest the extra calories and needs them to replenish your muscle glycogen stores, i.e. your energy stores.
Can I use GU Energy Gel in weight training or even yoga?Of course. Although GU Energy Gels are made for endurance sports, they can be used anytime you need energy quickly and easily. They can even be used as a small snack of only 100 calories when you want something simple to hold you over until your next main meal. This is very often done by professional athletes in the pre-competition period.
How does the caffeine in some GU Energy Gels help me?GU Energy Gels are available in flavors containing 20mg caffeine (listed on the package as w/caffeine), in flavors containing 40mg caffeine (listed on the package as 2xcaffeine) and in flavors without caffeine (listed on the package as no caffeine). Consuming caffeine during exercise improves your performance in many ways: it stimulates the nervous system, increases heart function, helps the body produce more force, reduces pain and fatigue, and metabolizes fat into energy. All this enables you to exercise longer and with greater intensity. GU Energy Gels contain as much caffeine as is needed to activate these processes and nothing more.
Do GU Energy Gels freeze?Yes, but the temperature must be well below zero. In very cold weather GU Energy Gel becomes a bit thicker, so we recommend keeping it close to your body so it stays at a normal temperature.
How long does it take for a GU Energy Gel to start working?About 5-10 minutes. Fructose is very quickly converted into energy, which is immediately available to the muscles. Maltodextrin, which makes up 70-80% (depending on flavor) of the carbohydrate mix in GU Energy Gels, takes a few minutes longer. Precisely because of this delay, your muscles enjoy a steady wave of energy, instead of an immediate sugar rush, followed by a crash.
Is GU Energy Gel safe for children?Yes, if they play a team or individual sport, or just play sports in their spare time. It will help them as much as it helps you. It would be good to keep them away from caffeinated flavors, no reason to make them even more hyperactive.
Is GU Energy Gel Kosher?GU Energy Gel, Roctane, GU Electrolyte Drink and GU Recovery Drink are all certified Kosher.
Is GU Energy Gel Vegan?GU Energy Gel is Vegan.
