The combination of fast and medium-burning carbohydrates in Clif’s Energy Gels provides you with a steady stream of usable fuel during workouts and races. Electrolytes help balance your fluid levels, while a heavy dose of caffeine gives a boost to your central nervous system and releases free fatty acids into your bloodstream, which can help spare your body’s limited glycogen stores. Clif uses 85% organic ingredients and a thin consistency that goes down easy in both hot and cold weather. Even the packaging has a special touch—the opening is narrow and has a litter-resistant leash, the corners are rounded for jersey pocket comfort, and each packet has a reduced carbon footprint.

Our Hydration Sport Drink Mix was created for a simple purpose - to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat and to provide a little bit of energy when working out, without offending your palate or gut. We initially created this drink because some of the world’s best athletes needed better. Conventional sports drinks made them sick. They were undrinkable - too sweet, over-flavored, and didn’t even replace what was lost in sweat – which defeated the whole purpose, like fighting thirst with more thirst. The best athletes needed something to safely hydrate, something to quench their thirst, and something to help them perform better. So with their help, we reimagined sports drinks, stripping down what used to be a neon-colored carnival to its bare essentials. In the process, we learned that simple wasn’t just better for elite athletes, it was better for everyone who works hard and sweats. The result is a sports drink with minimal sugar (4g per 100 ml) and a ratio of sugar (glucose + fructose) that is optimized for faster absorption, an electrolyte profile that actually matches what is lost in sweat (800 mg sodium, 80 mg potassium, 100 mg calcium, and 80 mg of magnesium per liter), and only real fruit for flavor for a light and refreshing taste that you can drink all day. That’s it - less sugar, the right electrolyte profile, and real fruit. So, if you’ve never met a sports drink you wanted to take home, your luck is about to change. Drink when thirsty. Don't when not. Repeat as necessary.

For use before, during, and after activity, GU's BCAA Capsules help maintain mental clarity, prevent muscle tissue damage, and enhance muscle growth. Each capsule delivers a 4:1:1 ratio of the three BCAAs (leucine, valine, and isoleucine) along with B Vitamins that facilitate muscle tissue recovery and reduce nausea during exercise. Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are the three amino acids responsible for helping to reduce muscle fatigue, speed recovery, and decrease the loss of other amino acids from muscle during exercise. These building blocks of proteins can be found naturally in your diet and are essential to maintaining a positive balance between muscle damage and muscle repair. When: Anytime is a good time to prevent muscle tissue damage. Taking BCAA capsules before, during, and after exercise helps decrease muscle tissue damage as a result of strenuous exercise.

HIGH-OCTANE PR FUEL A potent additive that primes body and mind for demanding workouts and races. Lower perceived effort, optimized energy use, sharper focus – PreRace catalyzes more days without limits. KEY BENEFITS - Increases energy & time to exhaustion - Supercharges circulation & oxygen delivery - Enhances focus & motivation PREPRACE CLINICAL STUDY ON A 40K TIME TRIAL South Dakota State University conducted an independent study on the original PreRace formula to determine its effectiveness on cycling endurance. The double-blind placebo-controlled study used seven trained cyclists in a 40K time trial. Each cyclist performed two 40K time trials. On the first TT, the cyclist consumed either a placebo or PreRace mixed with one serving of EFS 30 minutes before doing a 40K TT. One week later each cyclist would switch the protocol and receive the opposite of what he/she received the previous week. HERE'S YOUR SECRET WEAPON With the ideal balance of caffeine and taurine, PreRace 2.0 lets you stay in the red longer and with less perceived effort. The new formula also enhances ATP production and mobilizes fat for additional energy, conserving glycogen so you still have fuel in the tank when everyone else is empty. KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME All the sacrifice and hard training you do means nothing if your focus and motivation slip at the wrong time. The completely redesigned PreRace formula improves alertness, increases motivation, and sharpens mental acuity. Don’t just react; take control. BUILT FOR SPEED The theory behind PreRace is simple: combine a suite of active ingredients that, separately, improve physical and mental performance. We combined the stimulating, motivating cognitive effects of nootropics like taurine, caffeine, and theobromine with Nitrosigine®, a patented vasodilator that boosts nitric oxide (NO) levels for increased blood flow, focus, and energy to create a synergistic formula unlike anything else available. NEXT-LEVEL POWER AND EFFICIENCY Stimulating the Nitric Oxide (NO) system is clinically shown to increase blood flow, clear lactate, and deliver more oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to working muscles. With Nitrosigine®, a non-nitrate vasodilator, PreRace fires the afterburners without blowing up your heart rate, keeping your engine running hotter, and longer, with less recovery time between demanding efforts NEVER STOP IMPROVING PreRace 2.0 delivers one more new active: VitaCherry® Sport anthocyanins, a tart cherry extract that further increases pace relative to perceived exertion while shortening recovery time to maintain a higher level across multi-day events or peak training periods. Did the original PreRace work? Yes. Did we need to improve it? No. Did that stop us? Absolutely not. There’s still nothing else like PreRace on the market, we just saw an opportunity to make it even better.
