GU: Chomps

GU Chomps offer a change of pace from gels and an answer to that moment in your run, ride, ski, swim, hike... when you just gotta have something to chomp on.

GU Chomps deliver the premium ingredients and performance benefits you've come to expect from GU Energy products*:

• Amino acids for added focus, rippin' energy and speedy recovery.*
• Vitamin C + E, those mighty antioxidants that combat muscle tissue breakdown.*
• Sodium and potassium to restore electrolyte balance.*
• Exclusive blend of complex and simple carbohydrates.

Ingredients & Benefits

GU Chomps utilize GU Energy Gel's surmised blend of carbohydrates, amino acids, antioxidants and electrolytes in a chewable form.

Carbohydrates:

• Like GU, Chomps contain a balance of complex carbohydrates (maltodextrin) and simple carbs (tapioca syrup and cane sugar) as the basis for delivering fast and usable energy.* Each carbohydrate plays a key role in fueling your competitive fire.* Together they may get you moving faster and longer, not to mention helping you feel better on the rebound.*

Amino Acids:

• Of course there is more to GU and Chomps than just carbs. Both contain branched chain amino acids, which provide extra energy during exercise and play a key role in maintaining concentration and accelerating recovery from a hard workout or race. *
• GU Chomps are the only energy chews on the market with amino acids.

Antioxidants:

• GU Chomps are chock full of two key antioxidants, all natural vitamins C and E. Free radicals hate us! We can't guarantee that you won't bonk or won't be sore after a long workout, but certainly the advanced food science behind GU products will help.
• GU Chomps are the only energy chew on the market with 100% DV of Vitamins C & E.

Electrolytes:

• Meaningful levels of electrolytes, when supported by water, help you stay hydrated and firing on all cylinders.
• GU Chomps contain 55mg of sodium & 40mg of potassium per serving.

Caffeine:
Caffeine has meaningful benefits for athletes during training or racing as it:

• stimulates the central nervous system.*
• supports the release of adrenalin and helps the body metabolize fat as fuel. *
• GU Chomps are available in a variety of caffeinated and caffeine-free flavors.

FAQs

Should I use Chomps instead of GU?
We still insist that GU Energy Gel (and Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel) is the ideal source of fuel for an athlete while training or racing, but just in case you crave something to sink your teeth into, we've created GU Chomps. Chomps contain all the benefits of GU Energy Gel, in a chewable form.

Do Chomps have caffeine?
The Strawberry and Cranberry Apple flavors each have 20mg of caffeine per serving, while Blueberry Pomegranate and Orange are caffeine free.

How do you eat Chomps?
GU Chomps have a convenient tear strip at the top that allows you to squeeze out one Chomp at a time. Remember, 4 Chomps equal 1 serving.

How many packets of Chomps do I need?
1 packet of Chomps contains 2 servings, which will provide enough fuel for 1 ½ to 2 hours of activity.* That said, all athletes are different and we encourage you to experiment with what works best for you. Remember to hydrate along the way!

How long do Chomps take to work?
Since Chomps are semi-solid it will take a little longer than with a gel for your body to feel the effects. The nutritional benefit of Chomps should hit your bloodstream within 10-15 minutes.

Are Chomps safe for children?
Chomps are safe for children to eat, but remember that the Strawberry and Cranberry Apple flavors contain caffeine.

Are Chomps gluten free?
As with all GU Energy Labs products, Chomps are gluten free.

Are Chomps dairy free?
Yes.

Is GU Chomps Kosher?
