about this product.

Maurten Gel 100 is a carbohydrate energy gel designed for endurance athletes who need reliable fuel during sustained effort. It uses Maurten's hydrogel technology, in which the gel forms a hydrogel matrix in the stomach. This is intended to reduce the osmotic load on the gut, which is a common cause of gastrointestinal discomfort during hard exercise. The result is a format that may be easier to tolerate at race pace than conventional high-sugar gels.

The carbohydrate blend is the central proposition here. Hydrogel technology encapsulates the carbohydrates, allowing them to pass through the stomach more smoothly and be absorbed in the intestine. This approach suits athletes who train or compete at intensities where digestion becomes a limiting factor — long-distance runners, cyclists, triathletes, and anyone covering ground for more than an hour.

It fits neatly into a mid-exercise fuelling strategy: consume it during a run, ride, or race when your glycogen stores need topping up. The texture is distinct from standard gels — thicker and more neutral — which some athletes find easier to take without water.

Maurten has become a reference brand among elite endurance athletes and the coaching community. The formulation is built around a specific sports science rationale rather than flavour marketing, which is why it earned a place on our shelves.

how to take it

i.

Take one gel during exercise, particularly when effort has been sustained for an hour or more. Check the packaging for the recommended intake frequency during your session. No water is required, though sipping water alongside is fine.

frequently asked.

When during exercise should I take the Gel 100?

It is designed for use during sustained exercise, typically when glycogen stores begin to deplete — usually after 45 to 60 minutes of effort. Check the packaging for the brand's specific guidance on timing and frequency.

Do I need to take it with water?

Unlike many conventional gels, Maurten Gel 100 does not require water to be taken alongside it, which can be practical during racing. That said, maintaining general hydration during exercise remains important.

What makes the hydrogel format different from a standard energy gel?

The hydrogel matrix is designed to reduce the osmotic pressure in the stomach, which is one of the mechanisms thought to cause gut discomfort during intense exercise. Standard gels are typically high-osmolarity solutions that the gut has to work harder to process.

Is this suitable for everyday training or just racing?

It can be used in training as well as competition. Practising your race-day nutrition strategy in training is generally recommended by coaches, so using the same gel you plan to race with helps your gut adapt to it.

Who might not benefit from this product?

Athletes on low-carbohydrate or ketogenic training protocols may not want additional carbohydrate intake mid-session. Anyone with a known intolerance to the specific carbohydrate sources used should check the ingredient list on the packaging before use.

The first adrenal support that made a quick difference.

4 days ago

Gentle on a sensitive stomach, and I feel like myself again. I had tried two other glandulars before this and neither sat right.

MRVerified Buyer

Steadier mornings within a fortnight.

I was sceptical about glandulars, but my mid-afternoon crash has genuinely eased. One capsule with breakfast and I forget about it.

ALVerified Buyer

Subtle, but real.

2 weeks ago

Not a stimulant, which is exactly what I wanted. It took about ten days, then I realised I wasn’t dreading the afternoon any more.

SKVerified Buyer

My clinician recommended it.

3 weeks ago

Bought after a blood panel flagged a flat cortisol curve. Easy to take, no jitters, and the sourcing is refreshingly transparent.

TPVerified Buyer

Recovery feels faster.

1 month ago

Training hard through a stressful stretch and this has helped me bounce back between sessions. Already on my second bottle.

DVVerified Buyer

Does what it says.

1 month ago

No frills, one ingredient, a sensible dose. I appreciate that it is designed to be used for a season rather than forever.
