Description
Gel 160 is a bigger hydrogel option — encapsulating 40 grams of carbohydrates in each serving. Proven technology built with just 6 natural ingredients — no added colours, preservatives or flavours. For athletes who want more energy in each gel to fuel their training and racing.
Going long? Take more. It’s that simple. Gel 160 is for athletes who want more energy in each gel. In endurance sport — to maintain performance — it’s important to fuel regularly. Every fueling moment needs to count. And the further you go, the more carbs you need to sustain performance. Gel 160 helps athletes achieve the right amount of carbs per hour with proven Hydrogel Technology — no matter the situation.
INSTRUCTIONS
Consume the gel minutes before, during and/or directly after activity.
AMOUNT OF ENERGY
It is well known that our bodies can make use of about 60 grams of ingested carbohydrates per hour, in the form of glucose or maltodextrin (glucose polymer). Using a 0.5:1 combination of fructose and glucose/maltodextrin, allows an uptake of up to 90 grams per hour. More recent studies have shown that increased fructose content, above 0.5:1 enables an even higher uptake.
FLAVOUR AND TEXTURE
Best described as Flat Lemonade flavour with a Jelly Bean texture. Gel 160 is not a sickly sweet syrup, it is a gel.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
GEL 160 is built on hydrogel technology. The hydrogel enables a smooth transportation of the carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed.
Gel 100 vs Gel 160
Gel 100 and Gel 160 use the same patented Maurten Hydrogel Technology with the same ratio of fructose and glucose — 0.8:1. Gel 100 has 25 grams of carbohydrates and Gel 160 has 40 grams. Both sizes are interchangeable, depending on the training or racing situation. It’s a system that enables athletes to fine-tune their fueling strategy.
