Maurten Gel 160

Maurten Gel 160 – Advanced Energy with Hydrogel Technology

Maurten Gel 160 is an energy gel that differs fundamentally from traditional gels. It is built on an innovative Hydrogel technology, designed to transport carbohydrates efficiently through the stomach to the intestine, where they are absorbed and used for energy.

Gel 160 contains a specialized carbohydrate blend of glucose and fructose in a ratio of 1:0.8, allowing for efficient carbohydrate uptake during endurance exercise. Each serving delivers 40 g of carbohydrates, making it suitable for high-intensity or long-duration fueling strategies.

Hydrogel Technology

Maurten’s Hydrogel technology uses natural ingredients, primarily alginate from seaweed and pectin, to form a protective hydrogel structure in the stomach.

This hydrogel encapsulates carbohydrates and electrolytes, allowing them to pass through the stomach to the intestine where the gel dissolves and nutrients are absorbed. This process helps minimize gastrointestinal stress while enabling higher carbohydrate intake during exercise.

Research suggests that combining glucose and fructose in optimized ratios can significantly increase the body’s ability to absorb carbohydrates during endurance efforts. Maurten Gel 160 uses a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio, supporting carbohydrate intake of up to 120 g per hour when used within an appropriate fueling strategy.

Composition & Digestibility

Maurten Gel 160 is made from six natural ingredients and contains no artificial colors, sweeteners, flavors, or preservatives.

Thanks to the Hydrogel structure, the gel is designed to be gentle on the stomach while delivering carbohydrates efficiently during demanding efforts.

The product is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
