Why Choose Maurten Gel 100?
Maurten Gel 100 provides 25g of carbohydrates per sachet from glucose and fructose in a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio. This gives endurance athletes a compact and precise carbohydrate source for training and racing.
Unlike many conventional energy gels with a syrup-like consistency, Maurten Gel 100 has a firmer hydrogel structure. It is the non-caffeinated option in the Maurten gel range, making it suitable when you want carbohydrate fuel without adding caffeine to your nutrition strategy.

How Maurten Hydrogel Technology Works
Maurten Gel 100 is already formed as a hydrogel before it is consumed. The carbohydrates are contained within a biopolymer matrix designed to carry them through the stomach towards the intestine, where the carbohydrates can be absorbed and used as fuel.
Because Gel 100 is already in hydrogel form, you do not need to drink water specifically to wash the gel down. However, maintaining an appropriate hydration strategy during exercise remains important.
When to Use Maurten Gel 100
Maurten Gel 100 can be consumed before exercise as a carbohydrate preload or during training and racing as part of your endurance fueling strategy.
Its compact 25g carbohydrate serving makes it particularly useful when you want to consume carbohydrates in smaller, more frequent amounts during endurance activities such as running, marathon racing, cycling and triathlon.
Individual carbohydrate requirements vary depending on exercise duration, intensity, other carbohydrate sources and your overall nutrition strategy. Test your fueling plan during training before using it for the first time on race day.
What Does Maurten Gel 100 Taste Like?
Maurten Gel 100 has a neutral, lightly sweet taste and a firm hydrogel texture. The sweetness comes from the glucose and fructose carbohydrate sources, with no added flavours.
Its firmer texture is noticeably different from many traditional syrup-style energy gels and is one of the defining characteristics of Maurten's Hydrogel Technology.

Which Maurten Gel Should You Choose?
The main differences between Maurten's gels are the amount of carbohydrate in each serving and whether caffeine is included.
-
Choose Maurten Gel 100
when you want a compact 25g carbohydrate serving without caffeine.
-
Choose
Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100
when you want the same 25g carbohydrate serving with 100mg of caffeine.
-
Choose
Maurten Gel 160
when you prefer a larger 40g carbohydrate serving per gel without caffeine.
Some athletes combine caffeinated and non-caffeinated gels during longer events. If caffeine is part of your fueling strategy, consider your overall caffeine intake and individual tolerance rather than treating each gel as interchangeable.
