It's GU to the next power! New Roctane formula contains an amplified blend of nutrients to help you push it on multiple-hour endurance trials.

  • Convenient, easy-to-use squeeze package—simply squeeze into mouth and follow with water
  • Roctane contains the original GU formula of simple and complex carbohydrates with antioxidants; plus, it enhances performance with histidine, citrates and branched amino acids
  • Histidine, an essential amino acid, acts as a buffer to slow lactic acid build-up in muscles
  • Potassium citrate, sodium citrate, and citric acid help speed the conversion of carbohydrates into energy molecules
  • Branched amino acids leucine, valine and isoleucine serve as an additional fuel source, aid in recovery and help maintain mental focus
  • Amino acid complex Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (OKG) limits the body's tendency to break down muscle protein tissue during extremely hard training and racing days
  • Specifications based on a range of flavors; nutrition facts displayed here and on wrapper may differ; information on wrapper reflects actual contents
  • *Discount will be applied when you check out. Offer not valid for sale-price items ending in $._3 or $._9

        Comments about GU Roctane Sports Gel:

        Wow! I have tried every energy product on the market and this is the one for me every time. I especially like blueberry and that is a flavor that is rare on the energy market. I do not know all the scientific aspects, but it works well for me on long triathlons, trainings and when doing some tough backpacks.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Comments about GU Roctane Sports Gel:

            I'll preface by saying I'm not into sweets (french fries please!) and can't stand gooey textures... I can barely stomach Jell-O. So I was extremely hesitant to try this, but I got a sample of the Roctane at an expo before my last race and I'll tell you it is amazing stuff.
            I could barely stomach the regular GU, even with the more tart flavor, but the Roctane is fine. It has more of a pasty texture than the other stuff, almost like ground fruit roll ups or something. I probably will not try the vanilla one but it's more of my personal taste. The pomegranate/blueberry has a good taste, even when you're super exhausted mid-run.
            The best part is the great boost it gives you. I've tried a lot of other products - "normal" GU included - but the Roctane is a much more powerful energy boost.
            It's expensive so I stick to cheaper alternatives for sub 90 minute runs, but if I'm out on race day, or planning to run beyond 2 hours it's definitely along with me.

              The new flavors are fantastic. Getting anything down at altitude is difficult on a good day, and the new GU flavors make it much easier. If possible, the product itself seems to give a better boost than ever. Great new line of products GU, thanks!
