Gel 160 is a larger hydrogel alternative — encapsulating 40 grams of carbohydrates in each serving. Proven technology built with only 6 natural ingredients - no added colors, preservatives or flavors. For athletes who want more energy in each gel to fuel their training and racing.
More or less - it's the same thing
Gel 160 uses the same Maurten hydrogel technology proven to work for athletes - only more. Encapsulate 40 grams of carbohydrates in each 65-gram bag. This is still the Gel. Still the cleanest. Still the realest. Still no colors. Still no preservatives. Still hydrogel - that's the innovation.
Gel 160 is built using hydrogel technology - with only 6 natural ingredients. A biopolymer matrix, filled with a mixture of fructose and glucose (ratio 0.8:1) makes it easier to tolerate the uptake of high concentrations of carbohydrates per hour during training and racing
And additionally
Going far? Take more. It's so simple. Gel 160 is for athletes who want more energy in each gel. In endurance sports - to maintain performance - it is important to refuel regularly. Sometimes it's not easy. We think when we can. Hectic racing and tough conditions can affect when we try to eat and drink. Every thoughtful moment must count. And the longer you go, the more carbohydrates you need to maintain performance. Gel 160 helps athletes achieve the right amount of carbohydrates per hour - regardless of the situation.
You asked for it
Maurten works closely with athletes — performance testing and listening to their feedback from real situations. It was a consistent message - "To get more carbs on longer sessions, can we have a bigger gel?" The ant looked at the science and it made sense. So, they made it. Gel 160 is the result of the close relationship between Maurten and elite sports - all underpinned by a trust in hydrogel technology.
Clean
6 natural ingredients. No preservatives. No artificial flavors or allergens. No touching your hands or your pockets. It doesn't get much cleaner than this.
Water
Glucose
Fructose
Calcium carbonate
Gluconic acid
Sodium alginate
This is the Gel
Other traditional energy gels on the market tend to be a runny syrup. Gel 160 has a firmer, more – well, gel-like texture. Make it into a gel. So you can say that this is the Gel.
No courage, no honor
By using hydrogel technology, Gel 160 enables the smooth transport of carbohydrates through the stomach to the place where they are absorbed - faster - reducing the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort.
Science is part of our nature. And vice versa.
Maurten's products are developed for endurance athletes. Driven by research and science to solve problems and improve performance. It started in 2015. The patented hydrogel technology – which encapsulates high concentrations of carbohydrates – made it easier to tolerate sports fuel. The innovation meant less anxiety in the stomach. Soon the world's best runners stepped up their training and races with Maurten. And the rest followed.
