How Maurten Hydrogel Technology Works
Maurten Gel 100 CAF 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 released and absorbed.
Unlike many conventional energy gels with a syrup-like consistency, Gel 100 CAF 100 has a firmer hydrogel structure. Because it is already in hydrogel form, you do not need to drink water specifically to wash the gel down, although maintaining an appropriate hydration strategy during exercise remains important.
When to Use Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100
Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100 can be consumed before exercise as a carbohydrate and caffeine source or during training and racing as part of an endurance fueling strategy.
Because each sachet contains 100mg of caffeine, consider the timing of the gel together with other caffeine sources such as coffee, sports drinks, supplements or additional caffeinated gels.
Caffeine tolerance and fueling requirements vary between athletes. Test your carbohydrate and caffeine strategy during training before using it for the first time on race day.
What Does Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100 Taste Like?
Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100 has a neutral, lightly sweet taste and a firm hydrogel texture. The sweetness comes primarily from its glucose and fructose carbohydrate sources, with no added flavours.
Its firmer hydrogel consistency is noticeably different from many traditional syrup-style energy gels.
