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 and doesn’t contain any added flavours, preservatives or colourants. Just like all of our products, it’s vegan-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAMOUNT OF CARBOHYDRATES\u003cbr\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients (BY PROPORTION)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater\u003cbr\u003eGlucose\u003cbr\u003eFructose\u003cbr\u003eCalcium Carbonate\u003cbr\u003eCaffeine\u003cbr\u003eGluconic Acid\u003cbr\u003eSodium Alginate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGEL 100 CAF 100 – HOW TO USE\u003cbr\u003eDeveloping a nutritional strategy for races or key sessions is complex. Everyone is different – and the caffeine absorption and metabolizing rate varies between individuals. There are two key factors that are important to take into account: 1) your body weight and 2) if you’re used to caffeine. Science suggests an intake of 3 mg of caffeine per kilogram body mass, to aid performance. But again, it’s highly individual. Maurten has developed general guidelines on how to use the GEL 100 CAF 100, based on their own findings and scientific literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGEL 100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique structure — firmer, not a syrup — makes the gel easy to consume during high-intensity training and racing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on Hydrogel Technology and built with just 6 ingredients — no colors, no flavors, and no preservatives. Each sachet contains 25 grams of carbohydrates in a 0.8:1 ratio of fructose and glucose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAthletes can suffer with gastrointestinal distress when consuming carbohydrate fuel during high-intensity exercise.
