Maurten Gel 160 Hydrogel Energy Gel 65g

Maurten Gel 160 is a high-carbohydrate energy gel developed for endurance athletes who require more fuel in each serving. Every 65 g sachet provides 40 g of carbohydrates and approximately 160 calories, making it particularly suitable for longer training sessions and races where fuelling opportunities may be less frequent.

Gel 160 uses Maurten’s patented Hydrogel Technology to encapsulate a combination of glucose and fructose in a hydrogel structure. The formula uses a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio and contains only six carefully selected ingredients, with no added flavours, colours, preservatives or sweeteners.

Carbohydrates contribute to maintaining normal physical performance during prolonged endurance exercise when consumed according to individual fuelling requirements.

Hydrogel Technology

Unlike traditional syrup-like energy gels, Maurten Gel 160 is already formed as a hydrogel.

Maurten’s patented technology encapsulates carbohydrates within a structure built from sodium alginate and calcium carbonate. The gel is designed to carry the carbohydrates through the stomach before releasing them for absorption in the intestines.

Gel 160 has a firm gel consistency and a mildly sweet taste produced naturally by its glucose and fructose content. It can be consumed without water, although maintaining appropriate hydration during exercise remains important.

Key Ingredients

Maurten Gel 160 contains only six ingredients:

• Water
• Glucose
• Fructose
• Sodium alginate
• Gluconic acid
• Calcium carbonate

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 as a carbohydrate preload or during training and racing as part of an individual endurance-fuelling strategy.

Each sachet provides 40 g of carbohydrates, allowing athletes to calculate their carbohydrate intake more easily. The amount required depends on the duration and intensity of the activity and the athlete’s individual fuelling plan.

Gel 160 can be consumed directly from the sachet without water. Test the product and your complete fuelling strategy during training before using it in an important event.

Store at room temperature between 10°C and 30°C. Once opened, consume within 24 hours and keep refrigerated if not consumed immediately.
