Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100 : Caffeine Energy Gel : Sachet

Season:2020

Brand:Maurten

Code:12001C

Maurten's new Gel 100 CAF 100 builds on the company's already hugely popular and successful Gel 100. 

The Gel 100 CAF 100 is the world's first sports fuel gel that combines Maurten's patented innovative hydrogel technology and the power of caffeine. Caffeine tastes bitter but it is proven to improve sports performance. Caffeine has been shown to increase alertness and reduce perceived effort. These are properties that can be beneficial in sports performance. The GEL 100 CAF 100 can be used for building up caffeine levels – on its own, together with regular coffee – or to achieve sufficient caffeine levels during activity. The sports nutrition industry has historically tried to hide the bitterness of caffeine by adding flavours and acids that can damage your teeth and irritate your gut. Added artificial flavours won’t help you go faster. Maurten decided to simply circumvent the problem.

By harnessing Hydrogel Technology they have built a biopolymer matrix similar to that used in the original Gel 100 but that is dense enough to encapsulate both the caffeine and the carbohydrate mixture. The result is a low bitterness, low sweetness Hydrogel and a lot of energy.  From a technical perspective, traditional gels are water and carbohydrates simply mixed into syrups, often containing added flavours and preservatives. The GEL 100 CAF is completely different. It’s a biopolymer matrix, filled with a unique blend of fructose and glucose (ratio of 0.8:1) and Caffeine which enables uptakes of up to 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour and delivers a focussing kick of caffeine in just the right quantity.

The GEL 100 CAF is built by harnessing natural hydrogel technology : the hydrogel enables a smooth transportation of the carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt and carbohydrates are efficiently absorbed.  Made with just a handful of natural ingredients, the Gels don’t contain any artificial colours or preservatives and come in 40g servings that contain 60% carbohydrates – a high weight to energy ratio.

  • Drink Mix:

    Drink Mix 160 and 320 is built on hydrogel technology. When mixed with water, you'll get a liquid sports drink containing a high concentration of maltodextrin and fructose. The drink instantly converts to hydrogel in the acidity of the stomach. This hydrogel enables the smooth transportation of the drink through the stomach to the intestine, avoiding any gastro-intestinal upset, stomach cramps or irritation. Once in the intestine the water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed.

    Directions:

    Mix the content of each sachet with 500 ml of water and shake well until dissolved. You need to get the ratio right for the hydrogel technology to work. The mix is designed to be mixed with water with <40mg/L calcium content. If you live in a hard-water area we suggest using filtered water as higher levels can affect how the mix dissolves.

    Consume the mix either minutes before, during or directly after activity.

    Gel 100 / Gel 100 C (Caffeine) / Gel 160

    Essentially a pre-prepared Hydrogel by production, GEL 100 / 160 is a biopolymer matrix that delivers carbohydrates and salts to the intestine without causing upset to the stomach, allowing more efficient delivery of energy. Simply consume as normal!

    Solid 225 / 225 C

    A fuelling bar distilled from only the essential ingredients with natural sweetness and taste. Use to complement your Hydrogel fuelling strategy.
    For marathon runners, Solid is a perfect post-session or post-race recovery snack to replace carbohydrates. It also works as a pre-race meal alternative.
    For cyclists, Solid is a great fuel option for low-to-medium intensity rides and as a before and after snack.
    For Ultra runners, the standard nutrition advice is to eat something Solid every 4 hours. Solid’s salt content is also an advantage in replacing sodium levels during long training sessions and races.
    For triathletes, Solid is an ideal between-session fuel as well as a post-session or post-race recovery snack to replace carbohydrates.

    GEL 100 CAF 100 – HOW TO USE
     
    Developing a nutritional strategy for races or key sessions is complex. Everyone is different –and the caffeine absorption and metabolizing rate varies between individuals. There are two key factors that are important to take into account: your body weight and if you’re used to caffeine.
    Science suggests an intake of 3mg of caffeine per kilogram body mass, to aid performance. But again, it’s highly individual. Maurten have developed some general guidelines on how to use the GEL 100 CAF 100, based on their own findings and scientific literature.
     
    DURATION <1 HOUR : This strategy would require 1 serving of GEL 100 CAF 100.
     
    BEFORE: A beneficial level of caffeine can be reached by consuming around 200 mg prior to the activity. This can be achieved by consuming one cup of coffee, in the hours before the event, and one GEL 100 CAF 100 during your warm-up. You could reach the level of caffeine by consuming two GEL 100 CAF 100, but the total amount of carbohydrates is a bit excessive for a short event.
     
    DURATION <2 HOURS : This strategy would require 2-3 servings of GEL 100 CAF 100.
     
    BEFORE: Aim at consuming 200 mg of caffeine prior to activity. That translates into consuming two GEL 100 CAF 100. For an event that is about two hours, having two GEL 100 CAF 100 is a convenient way of building up the caffeine levels – and top up the carbohydrates levels at the same time. Remember that one GEL 100 CAF 100 packs 25 grams of carbohydrates.
     
    DURING: About thirty minutes into the activity, consume another GEL 100 CAF 100 to ensure you keep your caffeine levels sustained. Don’t forget to replenish the carbohydrates. Aim at consuming 30-60 grams of carbohydrates every hour.
     
    DURATION >2 HOURS : This strategy would require min. 3 servings (depending on duration) of GEL 100 CAF 100.
     
    BEFORE: Consume two GEL 100 CAF 100 during the hours leading up to the event. Then you’ve reached an intake of 200 mg of caffeine and 50 grams of carbohydrates.
     
    DURING: About thirty minutes into the activity, consume another GEL 100 CAF 100 to ensure you keep your caffeine levels sustained. Aim at consuming one GEL 100 CAF 100 every second hour to sustain the caffeine levels. Don’t forget to replenish the carbohydrates – either by using the GEL 100, drinking Drink Mix 160 or Drink Mix 320. It’s ambitious, but aim at an intake of around 60 – 90 grams of carbohydrates every hour.
     
    Remember, these guidelines are simplified and should only be used as a rule of thumb. Caffeine isn’t for everyone. If you’re unsure or pregnant, consult a doctor. And always keep in mind that there’s no point in pushing your caffeine intake. You can never compensate for training and overconsumption won’t help you.
