A time-tested favorite in the scene. Maurten's Gel 100 uses the brand's natural hydrogel technology to encapsulate energy in a biopolymer matrix, rather than the simple water-and-carbohydrate syrup of a traditional gel. It's built from six ingredients, with no added colorants, preservatives or flavors, and can be taken before, during or after activity.
Inside that matrix is a specific fructose-to-glucose blend at a 0.8:1 ratio, which allows carbohydrate uptake of up to 100 grams per hour. Each 40g serving carries around 25g of carbohydrates, roughly 60% of its weight, a high ratio of energy to weight.
Try it out, then get yours in a box of 12.
