This is an extension
This is still the Gel. Still the realest. Still no colors. Still no preservatives. Still hydrogel. Gel 160 uses Hydrogel Technology - the fuel behind record-breaking athletes - just more. 40 grams of carbohydrates in each 65-gram sachet.
More or less - it’s the same.
Don't fuel short
Different situations require different approaches to get the right amount of carbs every hour. Gel 160 gives you more options — to refine your fueling strategy. Our Fuel Guides advise on how to use Gel 160 with other products in the Maurten ecosystem, providing insight into how to fuel each training session or race situation more effectively.
Gel 100 vs Gel 160
Gel 100 and Gel 160 use the same patented Maurten Hydrogel Technology with the same ratio of fructose and glucose — 0.8:1. Gel 100 has 25 grams of carbohydrates and Gel 160 has 40 grams. Both sizes are interchangeable, depending on the training program or race. It’s a modular system that enables athletes to fine-tune their fueling strategy.
Science is in our nature. And vice versa.
Developed for endurance athletes, Maurten combines research-driven development with feedback from runners, cyclists, and triathletes - to enhance performance in sports and solve the problems hindering it. Our patented Hydrogel Technology — encapsulating carbohydrates to carry them through the stomach - makes fueling for sports easier.
Gel 160 in the real world
The longer the race. The further the training session. The more time flies. It's easy to forget - to miss - your fueling. It's a quirk of endurance sport that, sometimes, the more time we have to think, the less we focus on doing the right thing. And yet - here's the crunch - the longer we're out there, the more important fueling becomes. When the racing is hectic, when opportunities to stop are less frequent, when you've got your head down - pushing on - fueling gets neglected. “I'll eat at the top of the climb. I'll eat when I stop next. I'll eat when I catch the person ahead.” Good intentions - but time passes. The kilometers pass. And before you realize, the fatigue has caught up with you instead. Gel 160 is more carbohydrates than Gel 100 in each sachet - 40 grams. Go long - take more. It’s that simple.
Hydrogel Technology is the innovation
What is Hydrogel?
Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers with a high water content that is biocompatible. We used this to our advantage when we discovered a highly effective way to build hydrogels with natural ingredients alginate (seaweed) and pectin (fruit fiber) that encapsulate the most efficient source of energy around - carbohydrates. The two key components, Alginate and Pectin, create a protective hydrogel structure that efficiently transports salt and carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine, where the hydrogel dissolves, and the body can absorb the salt and carbohydrates.
Our patented Hydrogel Technology enables us to increase the amount of carbohydrates available to the body as fuel. Hydrogel Technology reduces the risk of gastrointestinal problems that arise when loading the stomach with traditional sports fuels and unnecessary ingredients like colorants, preservatives, and artificial flavors, that do not aid your performance.
Maurten Drink Mix 320 and Drink Mix 160: The pH-sensitive liquid converts to a hydrogel in the acidity of the stomach, protecting the salt and carbohydrate from breaking down in the stomach. The hydrogel then dissolves when it interacts with the intestinal fluid, releasing the carbohydrates.
Maurten Gels: Our gel is completely different from the other standard syrups. We don't use artificial ingredients and unnecessary colorants. The hydrogel is already formed in the sachet and built by combining alginate and calcium to create the hydrogel network.
Hydrogel Technology: How does it work?
The sports drink instantly converts to hydrogel in the acidity of the stomach. The hydrogel enables smooth transportation of the drink through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt, and carbohydrates are released and absorbed, giving you a fast and large supply of energy that your body can tolerate.
Is Hydrogel Technology patented?
Yes, our Hydrogel Technology is patented.
