Description
Maurten Gel has become the top-selling gel used by endurance athletes.
What makes Maurten Gel unique is the hydrogel technology that encapsulates the carbohydrates (and caffeine in the case of the caffeinated gel). With Hydrogel, you are able to consume significantly more carbohydrates per hour (100g of carbs per hour) that would have previously caused stomach distress.
The Maurten Gel Combo pack gives you both of Maurten's Gels:
- 6x Maurten Gel 100 (25g of Carbs)
- 6x Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100 (25g of Carbs/100mg of Caffeine)
Maurten Gels work together along with Maurten Drink Mix to create a complete fueling system. Maurten CAF Gel has the addition of 100mg of caffeine.
It's recommended to start with Maurten's Caffeinated Gel and for shorter events and you may want to only use the caffeinated Gel. For events over 90 minutes, you will want to use both Gels and alternate between using the Caffeinated Gel and the Regular Gel.
It's best not to exceed 3 gels during a workout or race, so you may need to space them out differently to avoid exceeding 3 gels. For example, during a marathon: a gel at mile 6, mile 13, and mile 20.
How do we use it?
Maurten Gel is used to deliver you quick, effective energy in the form of carbs to replenish muscle glycogen depletion during intense and long endurance activities. It can also be used to preload with both carbs and caffeine before short, intense training or racing.
