Maurten Gel 100 – Hydrogel-based energy gel
Hydrogel is a Swedish innovation that revolutionised the use of energy gels in endurance sports. Maurten’s gels are not syrupy like traditional gels – they are hydrogels made from natural fibres (sodium alginate and pectin) that encapsulate carbohydrates. This makes them easy to swallow and gentle on the stomach, even under heavy effort.
Gel 100 provides:
-
25 g carbohydrates (glucose + fructose in an optimal ratio)
-
No caffeine → suitable for all situations
-
No flavours, no colours, no preservatives → neutral taste and clean texture
👉 This makes it a reliable base gel for training and racing when fast energy is needed without caffeine.
Key features
-
25 g carbohydrates / gel

💡 xcSkiGuru tips
-
Base gel for all efforts: Reliable energy source when you don’t want caffeine.
-
Combine with caffeine gels: Use Gel 100 as your base, add CAF 100 only at key moments → control caffeine intake.
-
Long sessions: Combine with Drink Mix to easily exceed 90–100 g carbs/hour.
-
Practise fueling rhythm: Take gels regularly in training (e.g. 2–3 per hour) to adapt your gut.
-
Pre-start boost: Works well right before the start for quick energy.
Directions
1 gel = 25 g carbohydrates. Use 2–3 gels per hour depending on needs. Can be taken alone, but recommended with water.
