Maurten Energy Gel 100 - Hydrogel Sports Fuel - 40g

Maurten Energy Gel 100 Hydrogel Sports Fuel is a breakthrough in endurance nutrition, designed to deliver energy in the most efficient and natural way possible. Unlike traditional energy gels that are simply syrups made of water, carbohydrates, artificial flavors, and preservatives, this gel is different. It encapsulates 25 grams of carbohydrates in a patented Hydrogel Technology that makes fueling clean, simple, and highly effective.

Maurten Energy Gel 100 Hydrogel Sports Fuel is built with just six natural ingredients no added colors, no preservatives, and no artificial flavors. Each serving is a biopolymer matrix that contains a carefully engineered 0.8:1 ratio of fructose to glucose. This unique blend enables the body to absorb as much as 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour, ensuring sustained energy even during the most demanding efforts.

Maurten Energy Gel 100 Hydrogel Sports Fuel offers an exceptionally high weight-to-energy ratio, with every 40-gram serving delivering 60% carbohydrates. That means more energy packed into a lighter serving, making it an ideal choice for athletes who want maximum fueling without unnecessary bulk.

Maurten Energy Gel 100 Hydrogel Sports Fuel stands apart as “The Gel.” It’s not just a supplement; it’s a scientifically developed fuel source trusted by elite athletes worldwide. Its natural hydrogel technology ensures that the carbohydrates move smoothly through the stomach to the intestine, where absorption happens quickly and efficiently, reducing the risk of stomach discomfort often caused by traditional gels.

Maurten Energy Gel 100 Hydrogel Sports Fuel is the future of sports nutrition a clean, powerful, and reliable source of energy that empowers athletes to perform at their very best.

TECHNOLOGY

Hydrogel
Hydrogels are widely used in the food industry, often as thickeners and structurants. A hydrogel is a biopolymer- and water-based structure with very small pores. As a three-dimensional network with the ability to hold water, it looks and behaves a bit like a kitchen sponge.

At Maurten, they found a way to build hydrogels with natural food ingredients. And they have filled the structure with the most efficient source of energy around - carbohydrates.

The hydrogel of their sports drinks are built from the combination of two natural ingredients:

• Alginate - extracted from the cell walls of brown algae
• Pectin - found in apples, lemons, carrots and tomatoes, to name a few

These two dietary fibers have been used for decades within the food industry. Combined under precisely the right circumstances, alginate and pectin form a pH-sensitive hydrogel.

Features:

• GEL 100 - The GEL is a hydrogel – a biopolymer matrix that holds carbohydrates. It relies on the same concept as the drinks where the hydrogel technology enables a smoother transportation of carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine where the carbohydrates are absorbed. In the case of drinks, the hydrogel is formed in the acidity of the stomach – but the GEL is a hydrogel formed in production, by combining sodium alginate and calcium carbonate under exact conditions.
• No added flavors - Maurten is not impressed by artificial flavors. You can tell what you're getting from the taste of their drink mixes.
• Clean - No added colorants or preservatives. The sports fuel contains only natural ingredients. Nothing more and nothing less than what’s needed.
• Amount of carbohydrates - It is well known that our bodies can make use of about 60 grams of ingested carbohydrates per hour, in the form of glucose or maltodextrin (glucose polymer). Using a 0.5:1 combination of fructose and glucose/maltodextrin, allows uptake of up to 90 grams per hour. More recent studies have shown that increased fructose content, above 0.5:1 enables an even higher uptake. The GEL 100 is based on a 0.8:1 fructose-to-glucose ratio. One serving contains 25 grams of carbohydrates.
