From training to race day, Maurten fuels your effort without slowing you down.
Maurten gels and drink mixes are built differently. Using cutting edge Hydrogel Technology, they deliver carbs in a smooth, jelly-like structure that your body absorbs efficiently without upsetting your stomach. This patented system kicks in the moment it hits your gut, reacting with stomach acid to form a hydrogel that protects the carbs as they move through your digestive system. The result of this is rapid energy without the usual gastrointestinal drama.
Made from natural ingredients like seaweed-derived alginate and fruit-based pectin, Maurten skips artificial flavours, colours and preservatives. It’s clean, neutral-tasting and gentle on your system, even at high carbohydrate loads.
Whether you're running, cycling, racing or recovering, Maurten goes down easy and works fast. There's no need for water with the gels and the drink mixes fit effortlessly into any fueling strategy. You can prep them the night before and they’ll be ready when you are.
Trusted by elite athletes on the world stage, every batch is third-party tested and Informed Sport certified. Maurten gel is also gluten-free, suitable for sensitive stomachs and even used by diabetic athletes who need to carefully manage energy intake during intense or extended sessions.

Maurten gel does have electrolytes, as it is designed as a hydration supplement. Maurten gel contains 85mg of sodium per gel.
Maurten gel contains 25 grams of carbohydrates per serving, providing a quick and sustained energy boost for athletes during training or racing.
No, you don’t need to drink water with Maurten gels; that’s one of the major perks. Unlike traditional sticky, sugary gels that require a chaser to help them go down, Maurten’s hydrogel format is designed to be taken on its own. It’s smooth, easy to consume and already optimised for absorption, making it ideal for moments when grabbing water just isn’t an option. That said, hydration still matters. While the gels don’t require water, staying topped up with Maurten drink mixes or regular fluids is still key to performing your best.
For endurance athletes, like marathon runners, a common approach is to take two gels per hour to maintain a steady flow of carbohydrates, especially if aiming for around 50g of carbs per hour. Some athletes might take one gel before a race, followed by one or two gels each hour during the race. Maurten gels are quickly absorbed, typically within 20 minutes, with peak energy delivery occurring around 30 to 45 minutes after consumption. Depending on your body's needs and training, you can adjust the timing and frequency of your gel intake to keep energy levels high throughout your activity.
