Maurten GEL 100 CAF 100 - energy gel with caffeine.
An energy gel that combines hydrogel technology, carbohydrates and caffeine. Caffeine is bitter, and in energy gels, the bitterness is masked by adding flavors and acids or simply reducing the caffeine concentration. Maurten has solved this problem by using hydrogel technology. The hydrogel biopolymer matrix encapsulates the caffeine and carbohydrates. As a result, the caffeine bitterness in GEL 100 CAF 100 gel is less noticeable, an effective caffeine concentration is achieved and carbohydrates are less irritating to the digestive tract. This is the world's first sports nutrition product with caffeine that uses hydrogel technology.
GEL 100 CAF 100 - 100 mg of caffeine - this is equivalent to 1.5 espressos or 1 cup of black coffee. This is a lot compared to most traditional gels. Also, 1 gel contains 25 grams of carbohydrates (fructose and glucose in a ratio of 0.8:1), which allows you to absorb up to 100 g of carbohydrates per hour. This is a lot of energy without any flavorings, preservatives or colorings. Like all Maurten products, GEL100 CAF100 is vegan-friendly. Combine GEL 100 CAF 100 with other Maurten products to ensure that you have enough energy during physical exertion.
WHY CAFFEINE?
Caffeine has been shown to increase alertness and reduce fatigue, which may be beneficial during exercise.
ENERGY
Studies have shown that our body can absorb about 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. However, recent scientific research has found that using fructose and glucose in a ratio of 0.8:1 allows the body to absorb up to 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour. GEL 100 and GEL 100 CAF 100 are created using this fructose and glucose ratio, which allows the athlete to receive maximum energy.
CONSUMPTION
Developing a nutrition strategy for competition is a complex task. Every person is different, and the rate at which caffeine is absorbed and metabolized varies from person to person. There are two main factors to consider: your body weight and your caffeine habit. It is recommended that you consume 3 mg of caffeine per kilogram of body weight, but again, this is very individual.
PHYSICAL LOAD DURATION <1
BEFORE: Approximately 200 mg of caffeine is recommended before exercise. This can be achieved by drinking one cup of coffee and consuming GEL 100 CAF 100 during the warm-up. You can consume 2 GEL 100 CAF 100, but the total carbohydrate content is a bit too high for the duration of such physical activity.
