Created for demanding training and competition, GU Roctane Energy Gel stands out from original GU Energy Gel with more sodium, an electrolyte that aids in hydration, and even more branched-chain amino acids (leucine, valine, and isoleucine) that reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage than our original GU Energy Gel. The amino acid beta-alanine helps promote formation of the intramuscular buffer 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. ELECTROLYTES Maintain water balance and aid in optimum hydration. CARBOHYDRATES Deliver ready-to-use energy and delay bonking by sparing glycogen. AMINO ACIDS Reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage. CAFFEINE Enhances performance by increasing focus and concentration and decreasing perceived effort during exercise. Consume one packet 5 minutes before and one packet every 45 minutes during activity. Wash down with your favorite GU Hydration Drink or water for optimum absorption.

Youve got plenty of flavors to choose from. I happen to like this Vanila-Orange combination. Its the other ingredients that matter. I dont use GU Roctane on every ride, or for every gel I use during my training rides. I rely on Roctane when Im in a competitive event, or on my most demanding rides or training workouts. Whenever I need to dig down deep, I depend on Roctane. This version has caffeine. My experience is that the caffeine versions rejuvenate my quads and the fatigue fades away for 40 minutes or more. On most training rides I choose non-caffeine versions, and I still get great lift, I highly recommend GUs Gel product line. Just be careful about the caffeine if you can get by without it.

I’m new to energy potions, and love GU Roctane gels. Great flavors and the “energy” is noticeable, without making me jittery. I wish I could try more flavors (Cold Brew, and did I see or dream PSL?), but the local store only carries the most popular ones.Reluctant to use Amazon due to reviews about expiration dates, I ordered 2 boxes, and it took 10 days to arrive. Had to make an emergency run to the store, paying more, to have fuel for a long run. Not happy about the inconvenience and anxiety - almost didn’t realize they were still in transit.Good products!

I am so impressed with these GU Roctane gels. I ran a hilly 15 Km race on July 1 ( 1 gel before, and 2 during-Blueberry Pomegranate flavour), and a friend asked me to go for a run today. I normally take the day after a hard race as a rest/active rest day, as I am so sore and tired.I felt good enough to run and walk today. The pace wasn’t as quick, but more of a recovery run. I did my first day after race recovery run of 7 Km and walked almost 9 Km (4.5 WU, 4.5 CD). I can’t believe it!I am going to try a Roctane gel before hill repeats on Wed to see how it affects my body then. This is super exciting!I highly recommend these gels. I want to try some other flavours. I love the regular Gu Espresso Love. I need a coffee flavoured one of Roctane

During 12+ hour events I use a gel every 30 minutes, and get all the energy and electrolytes I need. These gels go down easy even when it's really hot and my mouth is dry. By separating my energy from my hydration, when it's really hot I can drink more and not affect my calorie intake. Also, if I need a little extra, then I still have room for some additional calories without over-doing it.
I recently began using GU ROCTANE gels as my main nutrition for long training runs and race day. As an ultra runner I go through a lot of calories on long mileage days. I have been pleased with the taste and texture of the Vanilla Orange ROCTANE gels. There is a constant supply of carbohydrates, BBCA's, and caffeine to keep me fueled, decrease muscle fatigue, and keep me focused on my high-intensity and long-duration activities. I have seen a uptake in most recent training block build and race day performance.
I absolutely loved using the lemonade Gu Roctane for my most recent long run during marathon training. I am someone who typically feels dehydrated—I have used many types of gels, salt tabs, electrolyte drinks. But THIS Gu Roctane made a world of difference!!!! I was able to enjoy my long run from start to finish with no issue at all in my fueling. I am definitely never switching from Gu Roctane!
I've been using GU Roctane gels since they first came out around 2009. Over the years my standby flavor has moved from Vanilla Orange, to Cherry Lime, to Strawberry Kiwi, which I've now been regularly using for races and long runs since the flavor debuted. Everyone has their own preference for this type of product. Some like gels with thinner consistency, some with thicker consistency. Some like sweeter products and caffeine, some with less or none of that. But for me GU Roctane gels are what I love. Another part of all GU gels that I appreciate, is the size and shape of the packaging. The more narrow size makes it easier to hold in your hand while you run, almost like how your hand grips something like a pole. This makes it much easier to manage while running, when ... MoreI've been using GU Roctane gels since they first came out around 2009.

I run 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and have been for the past 22 years now in any conditions. I was working at my local running store when Roctane was introduced in 2009, with just a couple of flavors, and tried it out. Since then, I've been using it for every race and long run that I've done. I run about 25-33 races a year, ranging from 5Ks to about 3 full marathons, and have had a lot of history with Roctane. My go-to for years now is Strawberry Kiwi, but I've also used Pineapple, Cherry Lime, and Orange Vanilla for some extended periods in the past. It's the one product that I make absolutely sure to take with me for any races. Especially if I'm out of the country and unsure as to if I can get it elsewhere. But I highly recommend it especially for races and ... MoreI run 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and have been for the past 22 years now in any conditions.

But I highly recommend it especially for races and longer or more intense activity. As a general thing, I use regular GU gels for normal distances and daily runs, and Roctane for longer runs and races. It's been a great plan for me.
I'm a marathon runner, so nutrition that is easily digestible is key! I am not able to use the regular GU gels, for whatever reason I don't digest them well and end up with stomach issues. I tried the Roctane Lemonade (no caffeine is key for me!) and they worked! I love the flavor, it's slightly tart and refreshing. When I'm on a long run or in a race, I don't want something sweet while I'm working so hard. The refreshing flavor picks me up, the gel truly works from a performance perspective, I feel the pick up - but not a crash - after 10-12 minutes and it doesn't bother my stomach! Please don't stop making this flavor or add caffeine to it! The Strawberry Kiwi (no caffeine) is my stand-by when I can't get the Lemonade (can't find it in local stores anymore!) but I ... MoreI'm a marathon runner, so nutrition that is easily digestible is key!

To celebrate the Summer Solstice 2016, we planned a hike/climb to the summit of Mt. St Helens (WA). I would be my first time and I was worried about cramping along the way because of the steep climb over 2 miles of boulders and 1 mile of pumice and ash. I had used the regular gels for training, but felt I needed more for this power hike/climb of 5.1 miles, 4500 ft. elevation gain to the crater of the mountain. Roctane did not disappoint! I stocked up on Roctane gels but only needed about 3 for the whole day. The extra amino acids, salts and caffeine in the Roctane gels helped me to keep my energy levels up without bonking and muscles from cramping. I was pleasantly surprised and so pleased. We had spectacular weather so I was able to enjoy my surroundings instead of ... MoreTo celebrate the Summer Solstice 2016, we planned a hike/climb to the summit of Mt. St Helens (WA).

We had spectacular weather so I was able to enjoy my surroundings instead of worrying about my legs The flavors I tried: Vanilla Orange, Lemonade and Mandarin Orange were refreshingly delicious. Although it was a long day, I still had spring in my step at the very end of our hike back to the trailhead. I would highly recommend it to hikers, backpackers and climbers planning on long days, lots of miles and elevation gain on their adventures. I'm planning to go on multi-day backpacking adventures this summer and will definitely take some Roctane gels along.
