GEL 100 CAF 100
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 and doesn’t contain any added flavours, preservatives or colourants. Just like all of our 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.
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.

GEL 100 CAF 100 – HOW TO USE
Developing 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.
GEL 100
The unique structure — firmer, not a syrup — makes the gel easy to consume during high-intensity training and racing.
Based 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.
Athletes can suffer with gastrointestinal distress when consuming carbohydrate fuel during high-intensity exercise. Hydrogel Technology is the innovation that encapsulates the carbohydrates, carrying them through the stomach to be absorbed.
Maurten Gel 100 is the fuel that most pros ask for, but it’s not just for the fastest in the race. As on-course fuel at the Ironman Global Series, the T100 World Series, Chicago Marathon, Boston Marathon, Berlin Marathon, SBT Gravel, and many more, Gel 100 fuels amateurs and age-groupers in many of the world’s biggest races.
Suitable for Vegetarians & Vegans.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
GEL 100 is built on hydrogel technology*. The hydrogel enables a smooth transportation of the carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt, and carbohydrates are absorbed.
