Frequently Asked Questions
Why are GU Energy Gels made with two types of carbohydrates?
A blend of simple (fructose) and complex (maltodextrin) carbohydrates allows for efficient absorption and utilization. This dual-source approach helps deliver a steady stream of energy to the body, preventing a sudden sugar crash and helping to avoid ‘bonking’ during prolonged efforts.
How does caffeine in GU Energy Gels help?
Caffeine can help enhance mental focus, decrease the perception of effort, and delay fatigue during intense activities. The 20mg in this gel provides a moderate boost to support concentration and performance.
How long does it take for an energy gel to work?
The energy gel begins to work within minutes. The maltodextrin converts quickly into energy, while the fructose provides a more sustained release, ensuring a steady supply of fuel.
Is this energy gel vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, GU Energy Gel Chocolate Outrage is vegan, gluten-free, and kosher certified.
