Optimum performance during exercise requires the maintenance of blood glucose as well as muscle and liver glycogen. Carbohydrate-based calories are required by the body to replace glucose, which is quickly burnt during exercise. GU Energy Gel has been created for the body for use during exercise, and its formula is said to be absorbed faster than energy bars. According to GU Sports, the gels are the first designed to enhance overall performance during exercise. They are said to provide sustained energy from 20 grams of complex carbohydrates, as well as faster recovery from sore muscles. According to GU Sports, the energy gels work because each of the natural ingredients used in the formulas, which include Belgian chocolate in the Chocolate Outrage gel, are specifically selected to optimise performance. Flavours include Vanilla Bean, Lemon Sublime and Orange Burst. The gels are available at Nature's Village.
