Fuel2O Gnarly Nutrition

This product was recommended by Allie Ziegler from Purple Orange PR

Fuel2O is a high-calorie, electrolyte-rich, easy-to-digest, drink mix that is designed to keep you going during a long endurance effort. One serving of Gnarly Fuel2O contains 100 calories per 12 ounces of water, which can be the perfect hourly caloric intake for shorter training sessions, while longer efforts may require two servings per hour, or 200 calories per 24 ounces. Calories come from the easy-to-digest carbohydrates sucrose and dextrose, providing quick energy without causing an upset stomach. In addition, Fuel2O replaces the electrolytes lost when sweating, supplying 250mg of sodium per serving, as well as the electrolytes chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Unlike most energy gels and blocks, Fuel2O contains HMB, or Hydroxymethylbutyrate, a natural substance that is produced when the body breaks down leucine. (FYI, Leucine is an amino acid — one of the critical building blocks of protein.) Research has shown that providing supplemental HMB during intense exercise can help prevent muscle breakdown and kickstart muscle repair.

Roctane Energy Gels

This product was recommended by Drew Boulos from Sasquatch Agency

GU Original Energy Gels pack quick, effective, and sustained energy to meet the demands of all types of activity in a triathlon. ROCTANE Energy Gels are packed with up to three times as much sodium (depending on the flavor), and three times as many branched-chain amino acids as compared to our original Energy Gels, meaning they’re made for high-intensity activity.

Stealth Advanced Isotonic Energy Gel

This product was recommended by Jordan Duncan from Silverdale Sport & Spine

My favorite energy gel for a triathlon is the Stealth Advanced Isotonic Energy Gel. I like this gel because it provides a quick energy source that can be consumed without water. It is easily digestible to help reduce the risk of stomach discomfort. In addition, this energy gel comes in several great tasting flavors.
