GU Energy Labs will support each event with their line of Roctane Energy Gels

Berkeley, Calif. (March 20, 2019) — GU Energy Labs will be the official energy gel sponsor of the 2019 North American IRONMAN^® and IRONMAN^® 70.3® events.  GU Energy Labs will support each event with their line of Roctane Gels that are designed for long-duration and high-intensity activities that push athletes to their limits.

“Back in 1993, GU Energy Labs was founded in part to meet the specific demands placed on IRONMAN triathletes. Throughout the years, we’ve innovated our products as the needs of triathletes have evolved,” said Senior Sports Marketing Manager at GU Energy Labs, Celia Santi. “That’s why we thrilled to partner with IRONMAN to fuel triathletes during their swim, bike, and run and witness inspiring breakthrough performances!”

GU Energy Labs will participate in each North American event to support and fuel IRONMAN triathletes with Roctane Gels that are created for the most extreme efforts or long-duration activities. Roctane Energy gels provide a boosted supply of essential nutrients in a form that’s portable and easy to digest. These gels are packed with up to three times as much sodium to aid in hydration, and three times as many amino acids to help prevent muscle breakdown, as regular energy gels. They also include beta-alanine and taurine to buffer acidity levels and improve heart function.
