Maurten Gel 100 Caf 100 - Single Serving

Energy capsulated in a natural hydrogel that slips through your stomach quickly and into the intestines where it can be absorbed and used. Each serving contains 100 mg of caffeine and delivers 25 grams of carbohydrates. Built with seven ingredients—no added colorants, preservatives or flavors.

The GEL 100 CAF 100 contains 100 mg of caffeine—that’s the equivalent of 1.5 espressos—or one cup of brewed coffee. That’s a lot compared to many of the traditional gels out there. It delivers 25 grams of carbohydrates through a unique blend of fructose and glucose (ratio of 0.8:1). It packs a high weight to energy ratio. Just like all Maurten products, it’s vegan-friendly.

Use the GEL 100 CAF 100 on its own during shorter durations, or combine it with other Maurten products to ensure you have enough carbohydrates throughout your session.

WHY CAFFEINE?

Caffeine has been shown to promote alertness and reduce perceived effort and pain. These are properties that can be beneficial in sports performance. The GEL 100 CAF 100 can be used for building up caffeine levels—on its own, together with other caffeine sources, such as regular coffee—or to achieve sufficient caffeine levels during activity.

AMOUNT OF CARBOHYDRATES

It is well known that our bodies can make use of about 60 grams of ingested carbohydrates per hour, in the form of glucose or maltodextrin (glucose polymer). Using a 0.5:1 combination of fructose and glucose/maltodextrin, allows uptake of up to 90 grams per hour. More recent studies have shown that increased fructose content, above 0.5:1 enables an even higher uptake. The GEL 100 CAF 100 is based on a 0.8:1 fructose-to-glucose ratio. One serving contains 25 grams of carbohydrates.
