What GU is:
GU provides sustained energy from 20 grams of complex carbohydrates, faster recovery from BCAAs and antioxidants, enhanced enregy from our unique herbal blend, and decreased soreness form muscle buffer.
Why GU works:
Optimum performance requires the maintenance of blood glucose, as well as muscle and liver glycogen. GU taken before, during and after exercise maintains energy levels and promotes recovery. GU works because each of the natural ingredients was specifically selected to optimize performance.
Carbohydrates:
Maltodextrin: is a complex carbohydratethat provides glucose in a form that is gentle on the gut. Fructose: is a simple carbohydrate that works in conjunction with maltodextrin to provide energy. Fructose is absorbed rapidly, but utilized more slowly than glucose.

BCAAs (Branch Chain Amino Acids):
Luecine and Valine: BCAAs provide up to 5% of the calories burned during exercise. Endurance activities can lead to deficiencies in blood leucine, which the body tries to restore by degrading muscle. These amino acids also play an important role in maintaining focus and concentration. |
Antioxidants:
Vitamin C and Vitamin E: are vitamins that protect tissues by neutralizing free radicals which are produced by the muscles' use of oxygen during exercise.
|
Muscle Buffers:
Histidine: Is an essential ammino acid that acts as a buffer to slow the build up of lactic acid. Calcium Carbonate: is an easily absorbed form of calcium which plays a large role in muscle contractions. |
