Our take
Maurten Gel 100 uses hydrogel technology that forms a gelled texture in the stomach. Runners with sensitive stomachs like it: the texture is neutral and the taste discreet. It provides 25 g of carbohydrate per 40 g.
It is taken during effort, with a little water, on long runs and functional racing events. For a caffeine boost late on, see the Maurten Gel 100 CAF. The Under Armour Launch Run 7-inch shorts has a pocket for carrying one.
What we like
- + Sits well in the stomach
- + Neutral taste
- + 25 g of carbohydrate per gel
What to know
