Maurten Gel 160 (12 Servings)

Still using proven technology built with just 6 natural ingredients and no added colours, preservatives or flavours - just more. For a bigger hydrogel option that encapsulates 40 grams of carbohydrates in each 65 g serving, the Maurten Gel 160 is perfect for athletes who want more energy in each gel to fuel their training and racing.

Providing more options to refine your strategy, the Maurten Gel 160 allows you to get the right amount of carbs every hour for different situations that require different approaches. When compared to Gel 100, Gel 160 uses the same patented Maurten Hydrogel technology with the same 0.8:1 fructose-to-glucose ratio but with more carbohydrates. Both are interchangeable, depending on your training or racing, so that you can fine-tune your fueling strategy.

Gel 160 is well-suited to longer endurance races and sessions where fueling opportunities are less frequent. The larger format enables athletes to carry fewer sachets but still benefit from the same proven hydrogel performance.

What is Hydrogel?

Hydrogels are widely used in the food industry, often as thickeners and structurants. A hydrogel has a biopolymer and water-based structure with very small pores. As a three-dimensional network with the ability to hold water, it looks and behaves a bit like a kitchen sponge. Maurten have found a way to build hydrogels with natural food ingredients. And they have filled the structure with the most efficient source of energy around - carbohydrates. The hydrogels are built from a combination of two natural ingredients: Alginate - extracted from the cell walls of brown algae. Pectin - found in apples, lemons, carrots and tomatoes, to name a few. These two dietary fibres have been used for decades within the food industry. Combined under precisely the right circumstances, alginate and pectin form a pH-sensitive hydrogel.

Elite Athletes all around the world have discovered and rely on Hydrogel Technology for their training sessions and races. Built on Hydrogel technology, the Maurten Gel 160 enables a smooth transportation of carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine, where the water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed.
