Description

A heavier gel for hard days. Each gel delivers 21 grams of carbs, 125 to 180 mg of sodium and 1425 mg of amino acids. It's as thick as a regular GU gel and goes down easiest with a sip of water.

Made for long and intense efforts. Think of an ultra trail, a long mountain run or a marathon on a hot day. You notice the difference mainly after a few hours, when you sweat a lot and your legs get heavy.

Not sure? Choose Roctane if you're out for a long time and want to take sodium with your gel. For a 90-minute long run a regular gel is usually enough.

All flavours are caffeine-free. Lemonade contains the most sodium.

Why GU?

During a long trail you don't want to doubt your nutrition. You want a gel you know, that fits easily in your vest and that you can grab at any moment. That's exactly why we carry GU at Trail.NL.

GU makes small gels in lots of flavours, with and without caffeine. The Roctane line adds extra sodium and amino acids for ultras and long, hard days. With the Hydration Tabs you top up fluid and salt along the way.

For us GU is above all a trusted choice: plenty of variety in flavour, easy to dose and a brand that has been making gels for endurance athletes since the early nineties.

Smerig

Smerig, carbs zijn carbs. Deze gel raad ik niet aan als je van een lekker smaakje houd voor lange cardio activiteiten.
