Here’s a little background on how Maurten Gel works and how to use it in your training. Maurten Gel is a relatively new gel from a company in Sweden. Its secret hydrogel technology lets you consume more carbs to refuel your muscles without getting the dreaded upset stomach that is notorious with sugary gels.
Maurten Gel is more like Jello compared to traditional gels that are more like a sugary syrup. What I love most about Maurten Gel is that I don’t have to drink water to it wash down after consuming and it doesn’t stick to my teeth like traditional gels.
Maurten Gel comes in both a regular version (black package) that is 25g of carbs and 100 calories and a caffeinated version (white package) that adds 100mg of caffeine to the mix.
Most athletes are using up to 3 Gels per hour if they are exclusively using Gels. When combined with Maurten’s very popular drink product, athletes are then using 1 Gel per hour.
