What is MAURTEN

A revolutionary sports fuel that allows for highly concentrated energy supply.

Carbohydrates are converted into energy in the body and are the driving force behind running and swimming. The more intense the sport, the more energy is needed, but our bodies have a limit to their ability to convert carbohydrates into energy. For this reason, the carbohydrate concentration in regular sports drinks is kept to around 5%.

MAURTEN has a carbohydrate concentration of approximately 16%.

This is about three times the amount of carbohydrates that can be absorbed in sports drinks, and exceeds the limits of what is thought to be possible. MAURTEN has been working closely with scientists and elite athletes to advance research and development. The invention of a new technology called "hydrogel" allows high concentrations of carbohydrates beyond the limits to be converted into energy.

Next-generation energy gel "MAURTEN GEL100 CAF100"

GEL100 now contains caffeine GEL 100 CAF 100. A real gel with less bitterness and less sweetness, effective levels of caffeine and lots of energy.

This caffeine gel was invented by Eliud Kipchoge, the world record holder for the marathon. Each packet contains 100mg of caffeine, which is the equivalent of 1.5 cups of espresso or 1 cup of drip coffee.

Carbohydrates are converted into energy in the body and are what drive us when we run, swim, etc. The more intense the sport, the more energy we need, but there is a limit to how much carbohydrates our body can convert into energy.
GEL 100 CAF 100 is a revolutionary sports energy drink that uses MAURTEN's "hydrogel technology" to encapsulate high concentrations of carbohydrates, allowing you to convert up to 100g of carbohydrates into energy per hour, exceeding the limits of what was previously thought possible for humans to absorb.

Product Description

MAURTEN releases new "GEL100 CAF100"
Imagine hydrogel technology, carbohydrates and caffeine all in one product. Now you can.
Caffeine has a bitter taste. Historically, the sports nutrition industry has tried to mask this bitterness in gels by adding flavors and acidity, or simply lowering the caffeine content. But adding artificial flavors won't help you run faster; you need a good amount of caffeine. So MAURTEN was determined to avoid this problem at all costs. Using MAURTEN's hydrogel technology, they created a biopolymer matrix that was dense enough to mix and encapsulate both caffeine and carbohydrates. The result is GEL100 CAF100, a real gel with less bitterness and less sweetness, effective levels of caffeine, and lots of energy.

World first appearance!
GEL 100 CAF 100 contains 100mg of caffeine - the equivalent of 1.5 shots of espresso or one cup of drip coffee - more than most traditional gels out there.
It also provides 25 grams of carbohydrates through a proprietary blend of fructose and glucose (0.8:1 ratio) that allows for up to 100 grams of carbohydrate intake per hour. It has a weighted energy ratio and contains no added flavors, preservatives or colorants. Just like all our products, it is fully vegetarian. Use GEL 100 CAF 100 alone during shorter activities or combine with other MAURTEN products to ensure you have enough energy throughout your session.

Why caffeine?

Caffeine has been shown to increase alertness and reduce perceptual effort, properties that may be beneficial during sports performance. GEL100 CAF100 can be used alone with regular coffee to boost caffeine levels or to achieve adequate caffeine levels during activity.

Features of GEL100 CAF100

• Energy gels containing 25g of carbohydrates per 40g packet
• Caffeinated for performance enhancing benefits
• Uses only natural ingredients (no additives), fully suitable for vegetarians and vegans
• Hydrogel technology allows efficient energy absorption in the intestines
• No need for water, so you can easily replenish your energy even during competition
• Recommended for all sports that require endurance

Effects of caffeine

• Delays fatigue
• Improves muscle contraction force
• Accelerates metabolism and increases oxygen intake
• Stimulates the central nervous system, improving attention and concentration

Conventional gels are simply a mixture of water and carbohydrates in syrup, and most often contain flavorings and preservatives, but MAURTEN GEL 100 CAF 100 is a completely different gel from previous ones. It is an innovative gel encapsulated in a hydrogel composed of six natural ingredients and caffeine, so it won't put a strain on your stomach even during exercise.
Of course, it does not contain any additives such as coloring agents, preservatives, fragrances, etc. The gel is made by combining sodium alginate and calcium carbonate under precise conditions during the manufacturing process to form a hydrogel.

Fast Energy and Hydration

MAURTEN GEL 100 CAF 100 is a biopolymer matrix filled with fructose and glucose (a unique ratio of 0.8:1) that allows the intake of up to 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour, which increases the absorption rate in the intestines and suppresses sudden rises in blood sugar levels, allowing for sustained energy supply even during long competitions. Gels are easy to take, do not put a strain on digestion, and do not require water, so you can easily replenish energy even during competitions.

Recommended for these occasions too

eSports (long-term gaming play)
Studying for exams and tests Chess, Shogi, Go, etc. Surgeons before surgery, at work, before presentations, etc.

How to use

Developing a nutritional plan for a race or an important session is complex. Everyone is different, and caffeine is absorbed and metabolised at different rates between individuals. There are two main factors that are important to take into account: your weight, and whether you are used to using caffeine. Scientific studies suggest that 3mg of caffeine per kilogram of body weight can aid performance, but again, it's very individual. Based on our own research and scientific literature, we have developed some general guidelines on how to use GEL 100 CAF 100.

Energy content

Previous studies have shown that our bodies can only utilize up to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. Recent science has shown that a 0.8:1 ratio of fructose to glucose can allow for even more, up to 100 grams per hour. GEL 100 has been developed to utilise this ratio, making it packed with energy - with 25 grams of carbohydrates per packet.

Recommended sports and competitions

It is recommended for athletes in various sports that require endurance and stamina, such as marathons, soccer, bicycle road racing, triathlons, long-distance relay races, rugby, swimming, mountain climbing, basketball, badminton, martial arts, boxing, skiing, skating, hockey, baseball, etc. It is also recommended for exam preparation and e-sports.
