Maurten GEL 100 contains energy in the form of a natural hydrogel. Built with six ingredients, the gel has no added colorants, preservatives or flavours. One Maurten GEL 100 contains 25g of carbohydrates. The gel can be used before, during and/or after activity. From a technical perspective, traditional gels are water and carbohydrates simply mixed into syrups. The GEL 100 is different, in that it is a biopolymer matrix filled with a unique blend of fructose and glucose (ratio of 0.8:1) which enables uptake of up to 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour.
Instructions:
Consume the gel minutes before, during and/or directly after activity.
Amount of Energy:
Studies have shown that our bodies can make use of up to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. Recent science has shown that the 0.8:1 fructose to glucose ratio enables even greater uptake – up to 100 grams per hour. The Maurten GEL 100 is developed by using this ratio and packs a lot of energy. One serving contains 25 grams of carbohydrates.
How does it work?
Maurten GEL 100 is built on hydrogel technology*. The hydrogel enables a smooth transportation of the carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed. *Patent pending
