Energy Chews - Watermelon, Box of 12 Bags

When you're exercising, you need a handy source of easily digestible carbs to power your muscles and avoid hitting the wall. GU Energy Chews are loaded with energy-dense calories to meet the needs of any activity. They contain maltodextrin and fructose, which use non-competing pathways to boost absorption, enhance carbohydrate use, and reduce stomach discomfort. This means you'll get a quick energy boost that lasts. These chews are designed to provide both energy and essential nutrients like electrolytes and amino acids, keeping you strong and energized. Each serving has similar nutrients to the original GU Energy Gels, but in a chewable, bite-sized form. Sodium, the main electrolyte lost in sweat, helps with hydration by maintaining fluid balance. Branched-chain amino acids (L-Leucine, L-Valine, and L-Isoleucine) can reduce mental fatigue, decrease muscle damage, and jump-start recovery. On an empty stomach, the nutritional benefits can reach your bloodstream in just 10 - 15 minutes.

Using these energy chews is easy. Just pop one or two in your mouth whenever you need an energy boost during exercise. It's best to take them on an empty stomach for a quicker effect, but you can also have them with a little water if you prefer. Remember, since they contain sodium, it's a good idea to drink enough water to stay properly hydrated. There's no special maintenance needed for these chews. Just keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. And if you have any specific health concerns or dietary restrictions, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor before using them.
