{"title":"Maurten","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMaurten, la nutrition sportive suédoise à base d'hydrogel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaurten est une marque de nutrition sportive née à Göteborg, en Suède, autour d'une question simple : comment consommer davantage de glucides pendant l'effort sans surcharger l'estomac. La réponse de la marque tient dans sa technologie hydrogel, qui utilise deux fibres naturelles, l'alginate issu des algues brunes et la pectine issue des fruits. Au contact du milieu acide de l'estomac, ces fibres forment un gel qui encapsule les glucides. Le résultat est une formule très concentrée présentée dans un faible volume de liquide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChez LUTO Supplements, vous trouverez la gamme Maurten dans ses trois formats : les gels Gel 100 et Gel 160, les mélanges à boire Drink Mix 160 et Drink Mix 320, et les barres Solid 160 et Solid C 160. Les versions CAF 100 ajoutent de la caféine pour les moments clés d'une course. Le bidon Maurten complète la gamme pour préparer les Drink Mix. Sur cette page, vous découvrez l'origine de la marque, le fonctionnement de sa technologie et la façon de composer votre plan nutritionnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eL'histoire de la marque Maurten\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaurten a été fondée en Suède en 2015 par une équipe issue à la fois du monde de la recherche et de celui du sport d'endurance. Le nom vient de la contraction de deux mots liés à la maltodextrine et au fructose, les deux glucides au cœur des formules. La marque s'est fait connaître dans le milieu du marathon et du triathlon, où la tolérance digestive pendant l'effort constitue une contrainte pratique quotidienne. Depuis, la gamme s'est étendue des gels aux boissons puis aux barres, tout en gardant la même base technologique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComment fonctionne la technologie hydrogel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eL'hydrogel repose sur l'association d'alginate de sodium et de pectine. Dans le sachet, la formule reste liquide ou semi-liquide. Dès qu'elle rencontre l'acidité de l'estomac, la structure se transforme en gel souple qui enveloppe les glucides. Cette encapsulation permet de proposer une concentration en glucides plus élevée que celle d'une boisson classique, tout en gardant un volume de liquide réduit. C'est ce mécanisme qui explique la texture particulière des gels Maurten, plus proche d'une gelée neutre que d'un sirop sucré.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLe rapport glucose-fructose expliqué\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes formules Maurten combinent du glucose, sous forme de maltodextrine, et du fructose. Ces deux sucres empruntent des voies de transport différentes au niveau de l'intestin, ce qui permet d'en absorber davantage au total qu'avec un seul type de glucide. La marque utilise un rapport voisin de 0,8 pour 1 entre le fructose et le glucose, un choix qui vise les apports horaires élevés recherchés sur les épreuves longues. Ce rapport reste identique dans les gels, les boissons et les barres, ce qui simplifie la combinaison des produits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLes gels Maurten : Gel 100 et Gel 160\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe Gel 100 apporte 25 grammes de glucides par sachet de 40 grammes, dans une texture neutre et sans arôme ajouté. Il se prend sans eau, ce qui le rend pratique en course. Le Gel 160 est une version plus concentrée, avec 40 grammes de glucides par sachet, pensée pour les athlètes qui visent des apports horaires plus élevés ou qui souhaitent réduire le nombre de sachets à transporter. Les deux formats existent en boîte de douze portions dans notre assortiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLes versions caféinées CAF 100\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes références CAF 100 ajoutent 100 milligrammes de caféine à la formule de base. Le Gel 100 CAF 100 se présente en boîte de douze sachets et le Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 en boîte de quatorze sachets. La caféine est généralement réservée aux moments choisis d'une course plutôt qu'à chaque prise. Tenez compte de votre consommation totale de caféine sur la journée. Ces produits ne conviennent pas aux enfants ni aux femmes enceintes ou allaitantes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLes Drink Mix 160 et Drink Mix 320\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes Drink Mix sont des poudres à diluer dans l'eau. Le Drink Mix 160 apporte 40 grammes de glucides par sachet et se présente en boîte de dix-huit portions. Le Drink Mix 320 double la concentration avec 80 grammes de glucides par sachet, en boîte de quatorze portions. Le choix dépend de votre plan de course, de la durée de l'effort et de votre tolérance personnelle. Préparez toujours la boisson selon les indications figurant sur l'emballage et testez le dosage à l'entraînement avant une compétition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLes barres Solid 160 et Solid C 160\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes barres Solid apportent une alternative solide aux gels et aux boissons, utile sur les sorties longues à vélo ou pendant les phases d'effort modéré où mâcher reste confortable. La Solid 160 est composée d'avoine, de riz et de graines, tandis que la Solid C 160 propose une variante au cacao. Chaque barre apporte environ 40 grammes de glucides et les deux références se vendent en boîte de douze. Elles se combinent avec les gels et les Drink Mix dans un même plan nutritionnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComposer votre plan nutritionnel avec Maurten\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUn plan nutritionnel se construit à l'entraînement, pas le jour de la course. Commencez par estimer la durée de votre effort, puis répartissez les apports en glucides de façon régulière plutôt qu'en une seule fois. Alternez les formats selon l'intensité, par exemple une barre en début de sortie longue et des gels sur la fin. Accompagnez toujours les produits concentrés d'un apport en eau adapté. Le bidon Maurten permet de préparer les Drink Mix au bon volume et de garder le même repère d'un entraînement à l'autre.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bidon-maurten","title":"Water bottle | Maurten","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMaurten Water Bottle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maurten water bottle is designed for athletes who seek practicality and functionality.

This is exactly why Maurten developed the \u003cstrong\u003eDrink Mix\u003c\/strong\u003e 320. One sachet dissolved in 500 ml of water provides 80 grams of carbohydrates. That's a lot. Marathon, long bike ride, or triathlon: this product is designed for times when solid food is not practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Hydrogel Technology Does for Your Stomach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main problem with high carbohydrate intake during exercise is the stomach: nausea, sloshing sensation, cramps. Maurten has provided an ingenious solution. The drink mix contains sodium alginate and pectin. As soon as they come into contact with stomach acid, they form a hydrogel: a gel-like structure that encapsulates carbohydrates. Result: carbohydrates pass through the stomach in this gel layer and are released further into the intestine for absorption. This reduces the sloshing sensation of liquid in the stomach when you run or cycle at a sustained pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaltodextrin and Fructose: A Dual Fuel Pathway\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink Mix 320 combines maltodextrin and fructose. This is not a random choice. Your intestines have different transport channels for different sugars: maltodextrin uses one, fructose the other. By offering both carbohydrate sources together, your body can absorb more carbohydrates per hour than with a single source. Good to know: a food containing fructose causes a lower blood sugar rise than foods containing sucrose or glucose. This is relevant for endurance athletes who want to maintain stable blood sugar levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e80 Grams Per Sachet, and What It Means in Practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEighty grams of carbohydrates per 500 ml bottle: a high concentration. For efforts up to about an hour and a half, you probably need less. But for longer events (half or full marathon, three-hour or longer cycling race, Ironman), needs increase sharply. Experienced athletes train their gut to assimilate 80 to 120 grams per hour. One sachet of drink mix fits perfectly into this. Important: always train this first in practice, starting with lower concentrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Drink Mix Fits Into Your Race Plan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo single product does everything on its own. The Maurten Drink Mix 320 works best as part of a broader nutritional plan. Combine it with extra water if you sweat a lot, as the drink mix may not cover all your fluid needs. For very long efforts, alternate between drink mix bottles and gels. The ingredient list is short: maltodextrin, fructose, sodium alginate, pectin, salt, and sodium bicarbonate.

You need fuel, but a gel isn't always appealing. Sometimes you just want something to chew. That's why the Maurten \u003cstrong\u003eenergy bar\u003c\/strong\u003e was designed. The Solid 160 is a compact oat and rice-based bar that provides 40 grams of carbohydrates per bar. Simple, effective, and easy to carry in a back pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this bar contains and why\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingredient list is short. Fructose-glucose syrup, oat flakes, and maltodextrin form the base, supplemented with rice flour, a little sugar, and sunflower oil. The combination of several carbohydrate sources is deliberate: fructose and glucose use different transport pathways in the intestine. This allows your body to absorb more carbohydrates per hour than with a single sugar source. Each bar provides 40 grams of carbohydrates, exactly the same as the Maurten Gel 160 or Drink Mix 160, which simplifies calculations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCut in half for flexible intake\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar is pre-cut in the middle. You can easily break it into two equal halves of 20 grams of carbohydrates each. This may seem like a minor detail, but it matters on the go. On a leisurely two-hour ride, you might have half a bar per hour. On race day, you combine a whole bar with a gel or sports drink to get close to 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen a bar works better than a gel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gel is fast, liquid, and effective at high intensity. But not everyone tolerates hours of gels straight; the stomach sometimes demands something solid. A carbohydrate bar like the Solid 160 offers chewable fuel and therefore a change of texture. Especially during long efforts at moderate intensity, solid food is often easier to tolerate than one might think. It's all about timing: at a calmer pace, the stomach has more leeway. Just before the finish line at full intensity, prefer a gel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaurten's modular approach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaurten has designed all its products to provide the same amount of carbohydrates per serving: 40 grams.

The Maurten Gel 160 works differently. By combining sodium alginate and calcium carbonate, the gel forms a structure in the stomach: a hydrogel. The principle is simple: the carbohydrates are, in a way, packaged within this gelled structure. The gel thus passes through the stomach differently than a classic gel, and many athletes experience less of the sloshing or nauseous sensation associated with concentrated gels.

This gel combines glucose and fructose in a 0.8:1 ratio. Why is this important? Your intestine has two distinct transport systems for sugars: glucose uses one, fructose the other. By combining the two, you utilize both pathways simultaneously and can absorb more carbohydrates per hour than with glucose or maltodextrin alone. With fructose in the formula, it also leads to a lower blood sugar spike than a gel based on sucrose or glucose alone.

For longer efforts (marathon, four-hour ride), the need increases to 60-90 grams per hour: combine two gels, or one gel with another product from the Maurten 160 range.

In the brain, caffeine blocks the action of adenosine, a substance that signals fatigue: the effort seems a little less hard. For a 70-kilogram athlete, 100 mg is a moderate dose. If you already drink coffee beforehand, add up your total caffeine intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMixing and Diluting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ratio is simple: one sachet for 500 ml of water. Too little water makes the solution too concentrated and harder to digest; too much water and you lose the hydrogel structure. Use water containing a maximum of 80 mg of calcium per liter, shake vigorously, and check for lumps. For a triathlon or long race, prepare several bottles to have fresh drink mix every hour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maurten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49398247948516,"sku":"7350008410343","price":48.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Maurtendrinkmix320caf100indoos.jpg?v=1784023681"},{"product_id":"gel-100-cafeine-100","title":"Gel 100 Caffeine 100 | 12 Sachets | Maurten","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMaurten Gel 100 Caffeine 100\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the heat of competition or during a tough training session, you don't want to think about your nutrition. You want to grab something, swallow it, and keep going. This Maurten \u003cstrong\u003eenergy gel\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers 25 grams of carbohydrates and 100 mg of caffeine per sachet, with only seven ingredients. No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. For runners, cyclists, and triathletes who want to keep it simple when it matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat hydrogel does for your stomach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany athletes know the problem: a gel mid-race and the stomach protests. Maurten does things differently. The gel has a firm, almost pudding-like structure, instead of the usual syrupy substance, thanks to sodium alginate and calcium carbonate which form a hydrogel. Carbohydrates and caffeine are encapsulated and pass through the stomach in this structure; they are released in the intestine. So you don't necessarily need to drink water immediately, although hydration remains important. Water contributes to the maintenance of normal physical and cognitive functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGlucose and fructose in a 0.8:1 ratio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour intestines have different transport channels for glucose and fructose. With glucose alone, this channel eventually becomes saturated. By combining glucose and fructose, you use two channels at once. Maurten applies a 0.8:1 ratio (fructose\/glucose). With 25 grams per sachet, you can easily reach 30-60 grams per hour, or even up to 90 grams during long efforts by combining multiple gels. A meal containing fructose also leads to a lower blood sugar increase than meals with sucrose or glucose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e100 mg of caffeine per sachet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaffeine is probably the most studied substance in sports. It blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, the substance that signals fatigue: you feel alert longer and effort feels less hard. One hundred milligrams is a consistent dose, comparable to a strong coffee. Be careful: two or three gels per hour already represent 200 to 300 mg of caffeine. Know your tolerance and always test in training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeven ingredients, nothing else\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater, glucose, fructose, sodium alginate, gluconic acid, calcium carbonate, and caffeine. That's it. No artificial flavors, preservatives, or colorings. Calcium contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal muscle function. A short list also means less risk of an ingredient you are sensitive to. The gel is packaged in a protective atmosphere and can be stored at room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maurten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49398268166372,"sku":"7350008410220","price":43.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/maurtengel100caffindoos.jpg?v=1784023747"},{"product_id":"solid-c-160-barre-energetique-12-barres-maurten","title":"Solid C 160 Energy Bar | 12 Bars | Maurten","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMaurten Solid C 160 Energy Bar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes you just want something to chew on during a long ride. Not a gel, not a drink, but a real \u003cstrong\u003eenergy bar\u003c\/strong\u003e that's easy to take with you. The Maurten Solid C 160 is exactly that: a compact bar made from oats, rice, and cocoa, with 40 grams of carbohydrates. Designed for runners, cyclists, and triathletes who want to supplement their fuel plan with solid food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in this bar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingredient list is short: oats, rice, and cocoa. That's it. Oats provide slower carbohydrates, rice provides more quickly available sugars; together they offer a broad carbohydrate profile. The cocoa isn't just for taste: the C in the name indicates a flavor change. After hours of sweet gels and drinks, everything eventually tastes the same; a cocoa bite breaks that pattern. Note: oat beta-glucan can lower cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor for developing coronary heart disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e40 grams of carbohydrates and the modular system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne bar contains 40 grams of carbohydrates, the same amount as the Maurten Gel 160 and Drink Mix 160. In practice, this makes calculating your intake very simple: one bar = 40 grams, half a bar (via the pre-cut line) = 20 grams. The common recommendation for endurance is 30 to 60 grams per hour, up to 90 for very long sessions. Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function after highly intense and\/or prolonged exercise leading to muscle fatigue and depletion of glycogen stores, making this bar also interesting immediately after exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen a bar works better than a gel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiquid or semi-liquid food is absorbed faster. But faster isn't always better. On slower miles on the bike, a long easy-paced ride, or the cycling part of a triathlon, you have time to chew. Solid food passes through the stomach more slowly: a more gradual energy supply, and less of a brutal sugar spike. Always combine the bar with water, which significantly improves the digestion of solid carbohydrates during exercise. And test it in training first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCarbohydrates and your brain on the road\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Maurten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49398291169508,"sku":"7350008412484","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Maurtensolidc160indoos.jpg?v=1784023811"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/collections\/maurten.oembed","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
