GU Roctane was created and designed to be the best possible energy gel for the most demanding training and competition. GU Roctane Energy Gel stands out from the original GU Energy Gel with even more sodium, an electrolyte that aids in hydration and three times more branched-chain amino acids when compared to our original Energy Gel. The amino acids leucine, valine, and isoleucine reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage. Where as beta-alanine helps promote formation of the intramuscular carnosine, while ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate helps promote muscle repair. The 100-calorie packets contain carbohydrates (maltodextrin and fructose) that use non-competing pathways to help maximize carbohydrate absorption and utilization while diminishing stomach distress
