MAURTEN GEL 100 CAF 100

Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100 – caffeine gel with Hydrogel technology

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 load.

Gel 100 CAF 100 combines carbohydrates and caffeine:

• 25 g carbohydrates (glucose + fructose in an optimal ratio)

• 100 mg caffeine – about the same as a strong cup of coffee

• No flavours, no colours, no preservatives → neutral taste and clean texture

👉 Perfect for races and hard training sessions where both fast carbs and a caffeine boost are needed.

Key features

• 25 g carbohydrates / gel

• 100 mg caffeine

• Hydrogel technology → stomach-friendly, easy to swallow

• Neutral taste, not overly sweet

• No additives, colours or flavours

💡 xcSkiGuru tips

• Race strategy: Use CAF 100 gels in decisive moments (e.g. final push, tough climbs).

• Combine with non-caffeine gels: Use regular Gel 100 for most of the effort, CAF 100 only strategically → avoid excess caffeine.

• Practise caffeine use: Get your body used to 100 mg caffeine in training, don’t try it first time in a race.

• Energy rhythm: Absorption improves as the effort goes on → start with less, increase later.

• Pre-start boost: One gel right before the race can give an extra kick.

Directions

1 gel = 25 g carbohydrates + 100 mg caffeine. Use ~1–3 gels per hour depending on needs and total caffeine intake. Recommended with water, though Hydrogel works even without extra fluids.
