Maurten
A collection of Maurten gels and drink mixes that harness hydrogel technology, delivering carbohydrate-rich fuel for energy, hydration and recovery.
Maurten products are sports and fitness supplements that give you a fast supply of energy that your body can tolerate, without unnecessary ingredients like artificial flavourings, colourants and preservatives. Maurten leverages their groundbreaking hydrogel technology, maximising carbohydrate intake while eliminating any unnecessary ingredients to mitigate the risk of GI distress.
By harnessing their patented hydrogel technology, Maurten has revolutionised the sports fuel industry. The hydrogel, created from natural components like Alginate and Pectin, forms in the stomach, releasing carbohydrates, salt and water in the intestine for efficient absorption. This innovative approach ensures easy digestion and enables smooth nutrient transportation through the digestive system.
The innovative range of Maurten gels and energy drink mixes are ideal for elite athletes - for use before, during and after training sessions - as well as amateur fitness enthusiasts. With Maurten, you can achieve peak performance without experiencing unwanted side effects, promoting superior hydration and sustained energy levels.

Frequently asked questions
Maurten gel does have electrolytes, as it is designed as a hydration supplement. Maurten gel contains 85mg of sodium per gel.
Maurten gel contains 25 grams of carbohydrates per serving, providing a quick and sustained energy boost for athletes during training or racing.
Unlike other energy drink options, Maurten products are designed to have very little taste. Some gels have a very unpalatable, sweet taste, but Maurten products have a more subtle sweetness due to the fructose and glucose in the products, akin to honey or sugar water. All Maurten products are gluten free, and only contain natural, food-graded ingredients, such as maltodextrin, calcium carbonate and sodium alginate.
How often you should use Maurten energy gel depends on your race or training plan. Some may take up to 4 gels per hour, while others may have 1 gel before a race and 2 gels for each hour of the race, like in a marathon. Generally, Maurten gels are absorbed within 20 minutes, with peak blood glucose reached after 30 to 45 minutes. For marathon runners needing 50g of carbohydrates per hour, it's recommended to have two Maurten gels per hour, adjusting as needed based on training and body's capacity.
