Why Choose Maurten Gels?

Maurten gels stand apart from traditional energy gels for three reasons:

Fast and Efficient Absorption

Maurten’s Hydrogel Technology encapsulates carbohydrates in a gel structure that:

• Stabilizes in the stomach
• Delivers glucose + fructose more efficiently to the intestine
• Supports steady, long-lasting energy release

This helps to avoid energy crashes and reduces digestive stress, which is key during long and/or intense efforts.

Clean Formula

Maurten gels contain only what your body needs for performance:

• Glucose + fructose (0.8:1 ratio)
• Water
• Alginate and pectin (natural fibers)

No added colourings, preservatives or flavourings.

As a result, these gels have a neutral taste, don’t stick, and have an outstanding digestive tolerance, even at race pace.

Designed for High Carb Intake

Elite athletes use Maurten as the gels allow them to reach 100–200g of carbs per hour and, this, without discomfort. It’s a genuine game changer for endurance performance.

Which Maurten Gel Should You Choose?

Maurten Gel 100

The original, best-known gel providing 25g of carbohydrates per unit. Compact and easy-to-use, this gel is ideal for training, long efforts and consistent fuelling during races, especially for runners.

Maurten Gel 100 Caf 100

The caffeinated version, with 100mg of caffeine per gel.

Perfect for:

• Key race moments
• Mental focus
• Late-race fatigue
• Early-morning sessions

Maurten Gel 160

A high-density gel containing 40g of carbs, equivalent to two Maurten Gel 100.

Maurten Gel 160 is designed for athletes targeting high carbohydrate intake, without doubling the volume of gels. Perfect for marathons, ultra events and long bike efforts.

How to Use Maurten Gels?

Fueling needs vary, but here is a simple and proven strategy:

• Before exercise: 1x Maurten Gel 100 15 minutes before the start
• During exercise: 2x Maurten Gel 100 per hour (1 gel every 20-30 minutes)
• Marathon: 3x Maurten Gel 100 or 2x Maurten Gel 160 per hour at minimum, depending on pace and tolerance
• Long-distance triathlon: 3x Maurten Gel 100 or 2x Maurten Gel 160 per hour at minimum, depending on pace and tolerance, distributed across the bike and run

Caffeinated gels - such as Maurten Gel 100 Caf 100 - are best used during decisive phases:

• 15 minutes before a 5 or 10 kilometers race
• Halfway through a half marathon or marathon
• Plus an extra one for the final 5-10 kilometers of a marathon
