Do you need to drink water with Maurten?

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.

How often should you take Maurten gel?

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.

Maurten gels and drink mixes are built differently.
