SHOT BLOKS offer very similar nutrition to SHOT Energy Gel. The primary ingredient for both is brown rice syrup which provides easily assimilated carbohydrates for working muscles. Both products also provide the mineral salts known as electrolytes. These electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, permitting normal bodily function. When you sweat, you start to deplete your electrolyte stores and experience potential performance decline, so its best to help replenish them through food and fluid intake. One of our newest flavors, Margarita, provides 210 mg of sodium which is 3 times the amount in other BLOKS flavors. Sodium is the key electrolyte lost in sweat. Lose too much and performance declines dramatically, including a higher likelihood of muscle cramping. For hot days or for those that perspire excessively Margarita flavor BLOKS is the way to go. Form and Function We created SHOT BLOKS, each in a 10g size, so that 3 BLOKS provide 100 calories. That makes it easy to track caloric intake during long outings. There are 6 BLOKS to a single serve package, so one package provides 200 calories
