In 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 energy gel 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.
Many 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.
Your 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.
Caffeine 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.
Water, 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.
Each sachet provides glucose and fructose in a 0.8:1 ratio, absorbed through different channels. This allows you to utilise more carbohydrates per hour than with a glucose-only based gel.
Comparable to a strong cup of coffee. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors, making effort feel easier. A fixed dose per sachet allows you to plan your strategy in advance.
Water, glucose, fructose, sodium alginate, gluconic acid, calcium carbonate and caffeine. No added flavours, colourants or preservatives. Maurten sticks to the functional basics.
The gel has a firm, almost flan-like structure, thanks to sodium alginate and calcium carbonate. The carbohydrates and caffeine are encapsulated and pass through the stomach in this structure; you don't need to drink water immediately.

Most athletes save a caffeinated gel for the second half of the race or the most challenging part (a hill, the last ten kilometers). The effect usually starts 15 to 30 minutes after consumption. Take it just before you need that mental boost, not when you're already running on empty.
Not necessarily. Thanks to sodium alginate and calcium carbonate, the gel already forms a hydrogel, which is easier to consume than a syrupy gel. That said, you sweat during exercise: drink water when you're thirsty, but you don't need a sip to wash down the gel.
Depending on the duration and intensity. Recommendations range from 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour, up to 90 for long efforts. Each Gel 100 Caf 100 contains 25 grams of carbohydrates; 1 to 3 sachets per hour will place you within this range. Be mindful of caffeine: 3 sachets per hour = 300 mg.
Maurten is positioned at the top end of the market. The difference lies in the formula: where many gels use artificial flavors, preservatives, and colorings, this one contains seven ingredients. The hydrogel technology is patented and significantly differs from a classic syrupy gel. Many competitors choose Maurten precisely for its better tolerance during exercise.
Glucose and fructose have distinct transport channels. With glucose alone, the channel saturates. By combining the two, you utilize two pathways at once. The 0.8:1 ratio (fructose/glucose) is based on research related to maximum exogenous carbohydrate oxidation: you absorb more carbohydrates per hour than with a glucose-only gel.
The carbohydrate content is identical: 25 grams per sachet in the same glucose-fructose ratio. The difference is caffeine: the standard Gel 100 does not contain any, while the Caf 100 contains 100 mg. Save the caffeinated version for when you want to be more alert.
