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.
