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.

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.

Finally a gel my stomach doesn't hate

4 months ago

Been running marathons for six years and tried pretty much every gel out there. Switched to these about eight months ago and haven't looked back. No cramping, no nausea at mile 18 — just steady energy. The texture takes a minute to get used to but now I actually prefer it.

My go-to for long rides

4 months ago

Take two or three of these on any ride over two and a half hours. Stomach stays completely settled even at higher intensities. Went through a full cycling sportive last month with no GI issues at all — first time that's happened.

Good gel, pricey per unit

5 months ago

Does the job really well — my gut handles it much better than the cheaper gels I was using before. Only thing is £30 for a box adds up fast if you're training heavily. At three gels a long run it becomes a significant weekly spend.

5 months ago

Used these through my half marathon build-up and on race day. No issues whatsoever. They've become a staple.

Solid fuel for triathlon

5 months ago

Running off the bike is where gels usually destroy my stomach. These don't. Used them across the bike and run legs of my last Olympic-distance race and felt fuelled without any of the usual discomfort. Worth every penny for race day.

Texture is different — stick with it

5 months ago

First time I tried one I wasn't sure about the consistency. It's much thicker than what I was used to. But after a couple of training runs I stopped noticing it and now it's just normal. The payoff is zero stomach trouble on long efforts.
