U Chew is our "Chewable" or perhaps chewable gel. Optimized like our gels with a 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio and salt. The uptake of energy is as quick as with gel, so in that way, the products are equivalent, but U Chew is more firm in form. Available with and without caffeine, each U Chew provides 30g carbohydrates.
Our U Chews offer a bit more chew resistance and somewhat more satiety compared to the gels. If you're chasing the percentages, an advantage of U Chew is that they provide more energy per unit weight. Each U Chew gives 30g carbohydrates at a total weight of 38g compared to our U Gels, which provide 30g carbohydrates at a total weight of 50g. This is because there's more liquid in the gels. Gels are great as they contribute to fluid balance as well, but sometimes you might want to carry as little weight as possible while still having an optimized energy plan, and that's when U Chew is perfect. Or maybe you just want something a little bit more solid to chew on during activity.
Available in the flavors Kiwi and Cola, where both flavors provide 30g carbohydrates, and Cola also contains 23mg caffeine.
