The GEL 100 is completely different. It’s a biopolymer matrix filled with a unique blend of fructose and glucose (ratio of 0.8:1) which –as we discuss often– enables uptake of up to 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaurten has solved this problem by creating a gel that contains its unique hydrogel technology, which encapsulates those simple carbohydrates and enables smooth transportation into the intestine where water, salt, and carbohydrates are absorbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is slightly different from their drink mix, which requires the acidity of the stomach to form the hydrogel; the Maurten Gel 100 contains an already formed hydrogel and can be taken without water.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Maurten Gel 100 taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003eWhen it comes to taste, Maurten has it right. Other gels are known for being extremely sweet, syrupy or even chemical tasting. Often times, the taste is so bad that it's hard to get them down without cringing or maybe gagging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003eSince Maurten gels use only a handful of natural ingredients, their gels have a mildly sweet, natural flavor that is not overpowering and goes down easy. I like to describe it as a light maple syrup or agave nectar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in Maurten Gel 100?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GEL 100 is built by harnessing natural hydrogel technology and built with six natural ingredients:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWater\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlucose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFructose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCalcium Carbonate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGluconic acid\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSodium Alginate\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt doesn’t contain any colorants or preservatives and comes in 40g servings that contain 60% carbohydrates (25g of carbs): a high weight-to-energy ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaurten Gel does \u003cstrong\u003eNOT\u003c\/strong\u003e need water to consume it, whereas other gels do require that you also drink water to help digest them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaurten Gel contains electrolytes in the form of 20mg of Sodium per Gel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maurten","offers":[{"title":"Single Serving","offer_id":49339129430322,"sku":"maurten_gel_ss_fb","price":3.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Box of 12","offer_id":49339129463090,"sku":"maurten_gel_bx_fb","price":43.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/9482\/3218\/files\/Artboard18_5c28c08f-ec1b-41c4-99b2-67570f9fd076.jpg?v=1727145578","url":"https:\/\/checkout.thefeed-staging.com\/products\/maurten-gel-100-fb","provider":"The Feed (Staging)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
