5 Reasons Why You Need Another Drink.
Tuesday, March 5, 2002

It's Simple
Unlike other sport drinks GU2O is formulated with only the essential ingredients for proper hydration.

Clean Refreshing Taste
GU2O is specifically made to belightly flavored and sweetened, so it refreshes you while exercising rather than overpower you.

All Natural Ingredients
With natural sources of complex carbohydrates, electrolytes and all natural flavors and colors, there's nothing that will interfere with hydration.

Formulated for Maximum Absorption
GU2O absorbs quickly and completely, giving your body exactly what it needs during exercise, with less cramping and bloating.

The Perfect Complement to GU Energy Gel and Your Favorite Energy Bars
GU2O provides you with effective hydration to keep you performing at your peak and further enhance the performance benefits of GU Energy Gel and other energy foods.

Hydration isn't just about drinking enough water. To effectively hydrate you need to give your body exactly what it needs--when it needs it.  Sound complicated? It's actually quite simple. It's GU2O.

GU2O is based on the principle that less is more. We've stripped away all but the most basic, essential ingredients: a slow-burning carbohydrate, a fruit sweetener, two electrolytes, a bit of citric acid, and natural flavoring and color. There's nothing else in there--nothing to interfere with hydration.

The GU2O formula draws on 40 years of international scientific research and over 5 years of development and field-testing by GU athletes. It's a clean tasting, refreshing hydration drink that absorbs quickly and completely, complementing the performance benefits of GU Energy Gel. Lightly flavored and sweetened, GU2O is easy on the taste buds, unlike some of the overly sweet sports drinks currently on the market.

GU2O and GU Energy Gel are both designed to be easy on the stomach during exercise. When consumed together, they provide you with the hydration and energy you need to perform your best and recover quickly.

Ingredients: Maltodextrin, fructose, sodium citrate, citric acid, potassium citrate, natural flavors, and natural colors.

Developed by Dr. William Vaughan, GU -- America's original energy gel -- has been an innovative leader in sports nutrition for over a decade. GU Energy Gel improves performance by delivering quick sustained energy while it buffers against fatigue, aids with faster recovery and provides a better athletic experience. In 2001, Sports Street Marketing, the makers of GU Energy Gel, introduced their hydration drink GU2O. GU and GU2O provide athletes the ideal combination of energy and hydration needed to perform their best and recover more quickly.
