Maurten GEL 160 65g

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.
