GU Roctane Energy Gel with Carbohydrates - 32g

Amped-Up Energy For Athletes

Food supplement: carbohydrate gel for use during sports.

GU Roctane Energy Gel stands out from the original GU Energy Gel with more sodium and amino acids. Sodium is an electrolyte that aids in hydration and the branched-chain amino acids (L-Leucine, L-Valine and L-Isoleucine) reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage. The amino acid beta-alanine helps promote formation of the intramuscular buffer carnosine, while the amino acid Taurine helps promote heart contractility and improve cardiac output during long exercise sessions. Each 100-calorie serving contains carbohydrates (maltodextrin and fructose) that use non-competing pathways to maximize carbohydrate absorption and utilization while diminishing stomach distress.

Ingredients and Advantages of the GU Roctane Energy Gel

• Carbohydrates (both complex and simple carbohydrates) for ready-to-use energy
• Sodium, the primary electrolyte lost in sweat that aids in hydration by maintaining fluid balance
• BCAAs, which may reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage while jump-starting recovery
• Taurine, which can help maintain heart contractility and improve cardiac output during long exercise sessions
• Beta-alanine, that can help promote formation of the intramuscular buffer carnosine, which can help delay the onset of fatigue during high-intensity efforts
• Some flavors contain caffeine
• Very tasty and easy to take
• Vegan, gluten-free and even suitable for diabetics

Who should take Roctane?

Roctane is ideal for all those athletes who go into training or competition for many hours to their limit, or participating in races with multiple starts per day. In all other situations, training or competitions, the original GU Energy Gel is the gel of choice.

Suggested usage:

The Roctane Energy Gel contains about 100 calories per packet. This is an ideal amount of energy for consumption about 15 minutes before a competition or training in order to balance the electrolyte and glucose storage. During the exercise a gel should be taken then every 30 to 45 minutes along with some liquid.
