MAURTEN Gel 100
High-performance energy gel for competitions and particularly intense training sessions. Gel 100 is based on hydrogel technology, which is designed to allow the absorption of up to 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour.
- Free from colorants or preservatives
- Fructose to glucose ratio of 0.8:1
- A 40 gram gel contains 100 kcal and 25 grams of carbohydrates
- 50 mg salt per gel
The hydrogel technology enhances the smooth transportation of carbohydrates from the stomach to the intestines, where water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed. This mechanism is said to allow a higher intake of carbohydrates without causing stomach problems.
Maurten gels taste more in the neutral range, as no additives or flavors are used. This is to guarantee better stomach tolerability. Maurten Gels are certainly not an experience in terms of taste - here it is mainly about performance. We would describe the gels as neutral to sweet. The consistency is more jelly-like and can be taken without water.
Application: Consume the gel just before and during the activity. The recommended amount depends on your individual ability to absorb carbohydrates and should definitely be tested out during trainings. When running, 60-90 grams of carbohydrates per hour is a relatively high value, although elite runners and particularly cyclists sometimes exceed this. As always, no experiments on a race day.

About Maurten
Said Mårten had the idea that with new technology it should be possible to ensure higher energy intake through sports nutrition. The project quickly raised the interest of the sports elite and was used for the first time under competitive conditions by Kenenisa Bekele at the Berlin Marathon in 2016. Bekele won the race and improved his best time by 2 minutes. The list of elite athletes has grown steadily since then and includes world record holders and world champions in almost all endurance disciplines, especially running, cycling and triathlon.
