Maurten GEL 100 CAF 100 - Caffeinated Hydrogel Energy Gel

Energy encapsulated in a natural hydrogel format. Each serving delivers 100mg of caffeine alongside 25 grams of carbohydrates. Formulated with seven components—completely free from added colourants, preservatives, or flavours.

High Caffeine Content for Performance

The GEL 100 CAF 100 provides 100mg of caffeine—equivalent to approximately 1.5 espressos or one cup of brewed coffee. That's substantial compared to many traditional energy gels available. It supplies 25 grams of carbohydrates through a distinctive fructose-glucose blend (0.8:1 ratio) which enables absorption of up to 100 grams of carbohydrates hourly. It maintains a favourable weight-to-energy ratio and contains no added flavourings, preservatives, or colourants. Like all Maurten products, it's vegan-friendly.

Flexible Usage Options

Use GEL 100 CAF 100 independently during shorter efforts, or integrate it with other Maurten products to ensure adequate energy throughout your session.

The Caffeine Advantage

Caffeine has been demonstrated to increase alertness and reduce perceived exertion. These properties can benefit athletic performance. GEL 100 CAF 100 can be employed for building caffeine levels—on its own, combined with regular coffee—or to achieve sufficient caffeine concentrations during activity.

Carbohydrate Absorption Science

It's well established that our bodies can utilise approximately 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 absorption of up to 90 grams hourly. More recent studies have demonstrated that increased fructose content above 0.5:1 enables even higher absorption rates. GEL 100 CAF 100 is formulated with a 0.8:1 fructose-to-glucose ratio. One serving contains 25 grams of carbohydrates.

When Should You Use GEL 100 CAF 100?

Perfect for runners and endurance athletes seeking both energy and mental sharpness during races or training. If you're competing in events where alertness matters—early morning races, ultra-distance efforts where fatigue accumulates, or situations requiring sustained focus—the 100mg caffeine dose provides significant benefit. It works brilliantly for athletes who respond well to caffeine, those wanting to reduce perceived effort during hard segments, or runners executing strategies that include timed caffeine intake. Whether you're using it alone for shorter races, combining it with non-caffeinated gels for longer events, or integrating it with coffee for controlled caffeine loading, GEL 100 CAF 100 delivers both carbohydrate and caffeine support.
