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","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/gel-100-cafeine-100","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
