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

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.

This gel revolutionized my running. Literally the best source of fuel on the long runs. Zero stomach issues. Light and acceptable flavor. No aftertaste. Great fuel!

The texture of this gel is definitely unlike any other, it's more like a jelly than the applesauce texture of other gels. Sugar content is good and to me, the taste is better than a lot of other brands. Definitely on the pricier side so I don't use them as often as I would if they were cheaper but I definitely think it's worth it for more important races.

This gel is amazing! I was highly skeptical due to the price, but considering every other gel was causing me stomach issues, I had to try it. I used this as my main fuel during triathlon training, and it never failed to keep me going. I was concerned about the taste and texture, but ultimately thought it tasted like a straight sugar jelly. I was eventually able to incorporate Honey Stinger gels into my regimen as well, but if I was ever having an off day stomach wise--- I was so grateful to have these in my arsenal.

Used these in my first half marathon. I recommend trying them out before your race obviously, but I never had a problem with these from the beginning. I definitely believe they help during the race and training. No complaints.

Love Maurten! I’ve use them for years. A little pricey for every training day, but they are a race day must!

The gel is good. I like the relatively bland taste. Some people don't like the consistency, but I'm fine with it except...when ripping these open riding my tri bike they often open only a corner. Maurten gel doesn't flow like most gels and it can hang in my teeth for quite a while before I get the packet emptied. This is not a problem during the run. I have no stomach upset with Maurten products and their advice about taking 1 white Cal100+caf100 per 2 hours is spot on with my calc of caffeine half-life to maintain optimum blood levels. The Maurten 160s are a bit tall and sometimes hang out of my bento box far enough to hit my knees. I love the color distinction between the Cal100 and Cal100+caf100 gel packs! You can yell "White Gel!" or "Brown Gel!" and actually get what you want from volunteers:).

I absolutely love these gels. They provide great energy and electrolytes on my long runs and races. They are not super sweet and are a jelly like consistency rather than an off putting ointment type of gel like most. I didn’t even have to use sat tabs with these! Highly recommend

The Best one

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

Ottimo gel. È digeribile, fa effetto piuttosto velocemente e ci si sente “in ripresa’. Non mi ha dato nessun fastidio alla pancia 😀 L’apertura è facile e veloce, la consistenza è “gelatinosa” e soprattutto non è troppo dolce. Consiglio per allenamenti e gare lunghe!

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.

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.
