Maurten Gel 160 – Advanced hydrogel-based energy gel
Maurten Gel 160 uses the same stomach-friendly hydrogel technology as Gel 100, but with double the carbohydrates. The hydrogel — made from natural fibers (sodium alginate + pectin) — encapsulates the carbs, making the gel easy to swallow and gentle on the stomach even at high intensity.
Gel 160 is designed for situations where you need more energy per serving, without caffeine.
