Energy encapsulated in a natural hydrogel. Each serving contains 100 mg of caffeine and delivers 25 grams of carbohydrates. Built with seven ingredients - no added colors, preservatives or flavors.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
GEL 100 CAF 100 contains 100 mg of caffeine - equivalent to 1.5 espresso - or a 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 0.8:1). It has a high weight-to-energy ratio and contains no added flavours, preservatives or colourings. Like all our products, it is vegan friendly.
Use GEL 100 CAF 100 on its own for shorter periods, or combine it with other Maurten products to ensure you have enough carbohydrates throughout your session.
Together with trainers, athletes and nutritionists, we developed The Fuel Guide as a resource to help you fuel more precisely in your workouts.
WHY CAFFEINE?
Caffeine has been shown to promote alertness and reduce perceived exertion and pain. These are traits that can be beneficial in sports performance. GEL 100 CAF 100 can be used to build up caffeine levels - on its own with other caffeine sources, such as regular coffee - or to achieve sufficient caffeine levels during activity.
NUMBER OF CARBOHYDRATES
It is well known that our bodies can use about 60 grams of ingested carbohydrates per hour, in the form of glucose or maltodextrin (glucose polymer). With a 0.5: 1 combination of fructose and glucose / maltodextrin, absorption can be up to 90 grams per hour. More recent studies have shown that increased fructose content, above 0.5:1 enables an even higher absorption. GEL 100 CAF 100 is based on a ratio of 0.8:1 fructose to glucose. One portion contains 25 grams of carbohydrates.
