Caffeine contributes to increased alertness and improved concentration. Carbohydrates support energy requirements during prolonged endurance exercise when consumed as part of an appropriate fuelling strategy.
Hydrogel Technology
Unlike many traditional syrup-like energy gels, Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100 is already formed as a hydrogel.
Maurten’s patented technology encapsulates the carbohydrates and caffeine within a structure created using sodium alginate and calcium carbonate. The gel has a firm consistency and a mildly sweet taste produced naturally by its glucose and fructose content.
Gel 100 CAF 100 can be consumed without water. However, maintaining appropriate hydration before and during exercise remains important.
Key Ingredients
Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100 contains seven ingredients:
- Water
- Glucose
- Fructose
- Sodium alginate
- Gluconic acid
- Calcium carbonate
- Caffeine
The product contains no added flavours, colours, preservatives or sweeteners.
Maurten states that the ingredients are free from gluten and other common allergens. However, the finished product is not certified gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian.
Suggested Use
Consume before exercise or during training and racing as part of an individual carbohydrate and caffeine strategy.
Each sachet contains 100 mg of caffeine, approximately equivalent to one cup of brewed coffee or 1.5 espressos. Caffeine response varies between individuals. Those unfamiliar with caffeinated sports products should begin with one sachet during training to assess their tolerance.
Gel 100 CAF 100 may be consumed directly from the sachet without water. Test the product and your complete fuelling strategy during training before using it during an important event.
Important Information
High caffeine content: 100 mg per 40 g serving. Not recommended for children or pregnant women.
Consider caffeine consumed from all other dietary sources, including coffee, tea, energy drinks, pre-workout supplements and other caffeinated Maurten products. Avoid excessive caffeine intake.
Store at room temperature between 10°C and 30°C. Once opened, consume within 24 hours and keep refrigerated if it is not consumed immediately.
