About Salted Watermelon

Salted Watermelon is a caffeinated fruit flavour in the GU Original Energy Gel range. GU describes the flavour as beginning with a noticeable salty taste followed by sweet, juicy watermelon, similar to watermelon-flavoured hard candy.

Each packet provides 125mg of sodium and 20mg of caffeine, making Salted Watermelon one of the higher-sodium flavours in Racepack's GU Original Energy Gel range.

125mg Sodium per Packet

Each 32g Salted Watermelon packet provides 125mg of sodium. Within the GU Original flavours currently covered by Racepack, Salted Watermelon and Salted Caramel provide 125mg of sodium, while the other flavours provide 60mg.

Sodium is an electrolyte lost through sweat. Individual sodium and fluid needs vary according to sweat rate, exercise duration, environmental conditions and the rest of your hydration and nutrition plan.

When planning caffeine intake, consider caffeine from all sources including gels, coffee, energy drinks and other sports-nutrition products. Individual caffeine tolerance varies.

What Makes Salted Watermelon Different?

Salted Watermelon combines 23g of carbohydrate, 125mg of sodium and 20mg of caffeine in each 32g packet.

Its sodium content is the key distinction within the GU Original range. Salted Watermelon provides more than twice the 60mg sodium found in most of the other GU Original flavours currently covered by Racepack.

This makes it useful for customers specifically looking for a higher-sodium GU Original option, while individual sodium requirements should still be considered as part of the full hydration and fuelling plan.

Other 20mg Caffeine GU Original Flavours

Salted Watermelon is one of the 20mg caffeine flavours in Racepack's GU Original Energy Gel range. Other 20mg options include Chocolate Outrage, Mandarin Orange, Salted Caramel, Tri-Berry and Vanilla Bean.

Among these, Salted Watermelon and Salted Caramel provide 125mg of sodium per packet. Chocolate Outrage, Mandarin Orange, Tri-Berry and Vanilla Bean provide 60mg.

Vanilla Bean remains available within relevant GU Original Energy Gel listings where stocked but does not have a separate Racepack flavour page.
