Maurten - Gel

Favorited by the top performing marathoners all over the world, Maurten Gel 100 combines nutrition and science to create one of the most efficient energy gels available. Once digested, the acidity of your stomach transforms the mix into a hydrogel which encapsulates a high amount of carbs and transports them to be effectively absorbed within your intestines resulting in hydration and energy. With only 6 simple and natural ingredients, the flavor is neutral and GI distress is avoided since the gel is not broken down in your stomach. This gel should be consumed before, during, or after your runs.

Details

• Neutral flavor with all natural ingredients
• No artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives
• Forms hydrogel in the stomach and efficiently absorbs in the intestines
• Maximum energy from carbs and hydration from water and salt
• Gel of choice for elite runners Eliud Kipchoge, Mo Farah, and Desiree Linden

Gel 160 is a bigger hydrogel option — encapsulating 40 grams of carbohydrates in each serving. The same proven technology built with just 6 natural ingredients — no added colors, preservatives or flavors. For athletes who want more energy in each gel, this is for you.

Gel 100 vs Gel 160:

Gel 100 and Gel 160 use the same patented Maurten Hydrogel Technology with the same ratio of fructose and glucose — 0.8:1.

Gel 100 has 25 grams of carbohydrates and Gel 160 has 40 grams.

Gel 160 is well suited to longer endurance races and sessions where fueling opportunities are less frequent. The larger format enables athletes to carry fewer sachets but still benefit from the same proven hydrogel performance.

How to Use Maurten Gel 160:

Use the Gel 160 as you would the Gel 100 (or other Maurten products). With 40g of carbs, you can take 2 x hour to easily reach 80g of carbs. This can be used interchangeably to fine-tune your
 fueling strategy depending on the training or racing situation.

How to use Maurten Caffeine Gels:

For the best performance combination, you want to alternate between Maurten's caffeinated and regular gels. Here is how to do it:

For training/races under 1 hour:

• 15-30 minutes before the start: Use 1x Maurten Caffeinated Gel
• +30 minutes from start: into your training/race: Use 1x Maurten Regular Gel

For training/races under 2 hours

• +20 minutes from start: Use 1x Maurten Caffeinated Gel
• +60 minutes from start: Use 1x Maurten Caffeinated Gel
• +90 minutes from start: Use 1x Maurten Regular Gel
• Drink: Use 1 Bottle of Maurten Drink 160 per hour.

For training/races over 2 hours:

• Every 60 minutes alternate between a Maurten Caffeinated Gel and Maurten Regular Gel and Drink 1 bottle of Maurten 160 or 320 per hour.
• For events over 4+ hours, we recommend you start using Gels once you have completed 50% of your workout and start with the Caffeinated Gel.
• Drinks: Use 1 Bottle of Maurten 320 per hour or 2 Bottles of Maurten 160 per hour when you need more hydration, it's hot, or you have excessive sweating.
• We would suggest not to consume more than 3 Caffeinated Gels per Day.
