MAURTEN Gel 100 Energy Gel - 12-Pack of 40g - 25g Carbohydrates per Serving - Stomach-Friendly Patented hydrogel Technology for Cycling and Running - Natural & Free of Color or preservatives

Amazing gels that have a jelly like texture. Not cheap but worth the money.

This stuff is game changing. It's a very light gel and ingredient list is short and 'sweet'. I ingested it slowly and sipped water as I did, which meant zero gastric issues on the run and couldn't notice any sort of digestion. I took one of these on my runs yesterday around the 45 minute mark, and it meant I managed to up my peak distance of 8 miles from my previous long run, to completing my first half marathon. I had only planned to do 9 miles so sadly I had only taken one gel with me, where ideally I needed two, but regardless of this, cardio wise I hit no wall at all even if I had to go about an hour and 40 minutes with no fuel after having that gel, and it was just about enough. I came to find this product because I was looking for a gel that is good for first time use, good for training, light on stomach, free of extra performance boosters, and was just a pure shot of glucose with no strings attached, and it hit that assignment flawlessly.

I purchased these for half marathon training as these were recommended to me by a fellow runner. I wanted tasteless and these were perfect. I was concerned about having a dodgy tummy but I didn't notice that but I certainly felt the energy kick around mile 8 and have purchased again. Would recommended.

Expensive, but worth it for marathon racing. Like a flavourless hard jelly, but goes down easy. No upset stomach or after effects. Definitely a lot better energy release than others i have tried.

The consistency takes some getting used to. They are closer to jelly than gel and you do need to chew them. But very neutral taste which is what I wanted

Of all of the energy gels on the market, these are in my opinion the ultimate. Most importantly, they have a very neutral taste that makes them very easy to ingest and digest without bloating or worst case cramping. Not cheap, but quality and results speak for themselves.

I run marathons and cycle long distances and I will only use Maurtens. Granted they are a bit more expensive than other brands, but they go down well and tastes nice. Cheaper brands are cheap for a reason.

The texture is thick so needs a bit of chewing which not very easy when you are running, found it more easy to slow down a bit (but maybe this is not an issue with super experience runners). Taste wise was good, not very sweet, no stomach issues which was ideal for the half marathon race. Is quite expensive if someone intends to use it for marathon training and marathon race but worth the money.

This is by far the easiest gel to take down for me taste and texture wise. Doesn’t affect my stomach at all. I have used these for several marathons and long runs. I’ve tried dozens of other gels out there and these are the only that remain constant for me. They’re pricier, but to me they’re totally worth it to buy for races because I know the quality is great and they’ll keep me going the whole race. I’m my opinion, the consistency is a cross between marshmallow and jello and it has a very mild sweet flavor that doesn’t stick in your mouth.

The Best one

Great taste. It really helps with energy and endurance. I use it when cycling.

Un prodotto incredibile!!!!

Als leistungsorientierter Langstreckenläufer, der zwei Marathons, drei bis vier Halbmarathons und mehrere andere Wettkämpfe pro Jahr absolviert, hört oder liest man früher oder später von diesem Produkt. Zwar wirkt der hohe Preis zunächst abschreckend, aber ich wollte wissen, ob dahinter nur warme Marketing-Luft oder ein wirklich wirksames Produkt steckt. Ich habe mehrere Trainingsstrecken mit 30+ km und einen Halbmarathon-Wettkampf mit diesen Gels absolviert und muss sagen: Sie sind echte Gamechanger. Sie wirken schnell und sorgen für eine konstante Energiezufuhr, ohne dass Magenbeschwerden, Säureentwicklung oder ein unangenehmer Nebengeschmack auftreten. Die Konsistenz ist ganz anders als bei anderen Gels: viel weniger flüssig, eher etwas glibbrig, fast wie Gummibärchen. Dadurch kann auch nichts ungewollt auslaufen und die Hände verkleben. Ich esse und trinke im Alltag fast nie Zuckerhaltiges (keine Cola, Limonade etc.) und bei anderen Gels hatte ich durch die künstlichen Geschmackszusätze (Kirsche, Minze, Cola …) immer ein wenig Übelkeit (verstärkt an warmen Tagen wo daraus eine herrliche Brühe wird). Vor allem aber denke ich, dass man durch die reibungslose Verdauung einen richtigen Boost-Effekt spürt, der auch lang anhaltend wirkt (ca. 25–30 Minuten). Deshalb klare Kaufempfehlung! Ich möchte jedoch hinzufügen, dass die Wahl des Gels sehr individuell ist und jede Person anders reagiert. Probiert euch also durch, ich werde wohl nicht mehr wechseln.
