Maurten Gels are designed for endurance sport. It doesn’t matter greatly if your sport is road running, trail running, triathlon, or cycling, the need to access carbohydrates in a format that limits the risk of distress in the stomach is the same. Whether you are looking for triathlon gels, an endurance gel, or a running gel, to support training and racing, Maurten Gels are developed to optimize the intake and absorption of carbohydrates during higher intensity activity.
Science has shown that training our guts with certain amounts of sports nutrition decreases the likelihood of gastrointestinal distress on race day. Working out the right gels for running, gels for cycling, or your preferred gel for triathlon takes time.
Unlike many traditional gels that are just syrupy mixes of water and carbohydrates, Maurten uses Hydrogel Technology. The gel is already in hydrogel form — which creates the semi-solid, firm texture — so unlike other gels on the market, you don’t have to drink water at the same time. Although rehydrating and drinking to thirst still matters.
Drink Mix options
A Maurten Drink Mix review comes down to three questions: how many carbohydrates, adding taste or not, and with or without caffeine.
All three options are built on Hydrogel Technology, with a neutral taste and the option to add Maurten Additions (Orange, Apple, Cola, and Menthol) to help limit flavor fatigue when fueling.
