GU gels provide athletes with a shot of 100 calories in the form of special patented carbohydrate blend (70-80% maltodextrin and 30-20% fructose) to deliver high-quality, easily-digested and long-lasting energy for endurance athletes of all levels. GU gels also include electrolytes to ensure hydration, an antioxidant blend to stave off muscle tissue damage and amino acids to delay muscle fatigue.
