The art of fueling
Maurten's mission began with the engineering of Hydrogel Technology. This technology is designed to help mitigate GI discomfort and bypass the fueling limitations during training and racing.
The hydrogel is composed of polymer chains that hold a large amount of water while maintaining structure. Mauten extracts alginate from seaweed and pectin found in fruit fibers; that is why these gels are not a runny syrup but a gel-like consistency.
Once consumed, the gel moves through the GI tract from the stomach to the small intestine; in simple terms, the product sinks to the bottom of your digestive system, then releases the carbohydrates thus they can be absorbed as fuel.
