25g of Carbohydrate. No Caffeine. Easy to Carry.
Maurten Gel 100 is a compact energy gel for cycling, running and other endurance activities. Each 40g sachet provides 25g of carbohydrate without caffeine, making it easy to include in a planned fuelling strategy without increasing your caffeine intake.
Unlike a conventional syrup-style gel, Gel 100 has a firmer consistency and neutral taste. Maurten's Hydrogel Technology encapsulates the carbohydrates in a hydrogel structure designed to carry them through the stomach to the intestine for absorption.
Maurten Hydrogel Technology
Gel 100 combines glucose and fructose with sodium alginate, gluconic acid and calcium carbonate to create its hydrogel structure.
The 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio provides 25g of carbohydrate in each sachet. The simple 25g serving also makes it straightforward to calculate how much carbohydrate you are consuming per hour.
When to Use It
Gel 100 can be used before exercise as a carbohydrate preload or during longer training sessions and events. Its compact sachet is easy to carry in a jersey pocket, running belt or bike bag.
Fuelling needs vary with exercise duration, intensity and the individual athlete. Test the gel during training before relying on it for a race or important event, and make sure your overall nutrition and hydration plan suits the conditions.

Our Thoughts
Gel 100 is a good option when you want a measured 25g carbohydrate serving without caffeine. The neutral taste and firmer texture are quite different from many sweet, syrupy gels, which some riders prefer during longer events.
We recommend trying it on training rides first. Once you know how it works for you, the 25g serving makes planning your hourly carbohydrate intake simple.
