High-Roctane Fuel: GU Energy Labs
By The Feed.
The Tour de Feed is here. We are excited to embark on a three-week journey across France, and across the amazing products at The Feed. We'll start with a highlight of GU Energy Labs Roctane line: a fleet of products designed to support your most epic battles.
The most epic battle on bikes has begun.
The roads of France play host to our favorite event of the year.
Just like the warriors toeing the line, we’ve all pushed ourselves to the edge, and sometimes over it. And we want more from our fueling, hydration, and recovery products, just like we want more from our bodies.
GU Energy Labs designed a line of products to assist you during and after your most epic battles: Roctane. It’s helped us, and we bet it can help you.
Fuel Your Battle
GU formulated an advanced line of gels, drinks, and recovery mixes to help you reach the end of your training session or the podium of your next event.
GU is one of the original gel makers, leveraging extensive experience to formulate Roctane products for your most extreme efforts – whether your goal is to go longer or push harder.
With more carbs and other performance-aiding ingredients, GU’s Roctane rises to the occasion, just like you.
Roctane Energy Gel packs 21 g of carbohydrates in a mix of maltodextrin and fructose, which uses non-competing pathways to maximize absorption and minimize GI distress.
It also delivers 180 mg of sodium and 1,425 mg of amino acids to support heart contractility, improve cardiac output, and delay fatigue during high-intensity efforts.
Roctane Energy and Hydration Drink Mix pairs perfectly with this gel, providing 60 g of carbs and 320 mg of sodium for energy and hydration support as the miles stack on. The carbs and aminos are in the same blend as the gel.
Some flavors contain 35 mg of caffeine for an additional boost.
Recover Like a Champion
When you’re done with your sufferfest, it’s time to recover, and GU Roctane Protein Recovery Mix is a tasty way to reward and support your body as it rebuilds for the next day. We think both the Chocolate Smoothie and Vanilla taste shockingly good.
Take it within 30 minutes of finishing your workout or race, and let the 20 g of protein, 30 g of carbohydrates, 230 mg of sodium and other electrolytes kick off your Wolverine-like recovery.
Build Your Foundation
Training hard? Your body is waging war on multiple fronts, and magnesium is your secret weapon. This essential mineral plays a role in over 300 biochemical processes. But training can deplete it and hinder recovery.
GU Roctane Magnesium Plus Capsules deliver 200 mg of magnesium plus Vitamins D3, K and Zinc to improve sleep, performance, recovery and reduce muscle soreness. Take daily for at least a week, especially during heavy training blocks when warriors like you need every advantage.
