Features - Maurten Gel 100 Caf 100
- GEL 100 - The GEL is a hydrogel – a biopolymer matrix that holds carbohydrates. It relies on the same concept as the drinks where the hydrogel technology enables a smoother transportation of carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine where the carbohydrates are absorbed. In the case of drinks, the hydrogel is formed in the acidity of the stomach – but the GEL is a hydrogel formed in production, by combining sodium alginate and calcium carbonate under exact conditions.
- No added flavors - Maurten is not impressed by artificial flavors. You can tell what you're getting from the taste of their drink mixes.
- Clean - No added colorants or preservatives. The sports fuel contains only natural ingredients. Nothing more and nothing less than what’s needed.
- Amount of carbohydrates - It is well known that our bodies can make use of about 60 grams of ingested carbohydrates per hour, in the form of glucose or maltodextrin (glucose polymer). Using a 0.5:1 combination of fructose and glucose/maltodextrin, allows uptake of up to 90 grams per hour. More recent studies have shown that increased fructose content, above 0.5:1 enables an even higher uptake. The GEL 100 CAF 100 is based on a 0.8:1 fructose-to-glucose ratio. One serving contains 25 grams of carbohydrates.
- Why Caffeine - Caffeine has been shown to promote alertness and reduce perceived effort and pain. These are properties that can be beneficial in sports performance. The DRINK MIX 320 CAF 100 can be used for building up caffeine levels – on its own or together with other caffeine sources to achieve sufficient caffeine levels during activity.

Technology
Hydrogel
Hydrogels are widely used in the food industry, often as thickeners and structurants. A hydrogel is a biopolymer- and water-based structure with very small pores. As a three-dimensional network with the ability to hold water, it looks and behaves a bit like a kitchen sponge.
At Maurten, they found a way to build hydrogels with natural food ingredients. And they have filled the structure with the most efficient source of energy around - carbohydrates.
The hydrogel of their sports drinks are built from the combination of two natural ingredients:
- Alginate - extracted from the cell walls of brown algae
- Pectin - found in apples, lemons, carrots and tomatoes, to name a few
These two dietary fibers have been used for decades within the food industry. Combined under precisely the right circumstances, alginate and pectin form a pH-sensitive hydrogel.
