When it comes to fueling it's important to start off on the right foot. Thanks to this Maurten Test Collection you can put Hydrogel Technology through its paces in real world conditions. It's important to understand how fueling feels - the texture, the taste, and the physical sensations - and listen to how your body responds through practice before race day to get used to it. This is the start line that matters most.

Fueling is personal. This Test Collection from Maurten contains 1 x Drink Mix 320, 1 x Drink Mix 160, 2 x Gel 100, and 1 x Solid 160 so that you can find the right fuel for you.

What is Hydrogel?

Hydrogels are widely used in the food industry, often as thickeners and structurants. A hydrogel has a biopolymer and water-based structure with very small pores. As a three-dimensional network with the ability to hold water, it looks and behaves a bit like a kitchen sponge. Maurten have found a way to build hydrogels with natural food ingredients. And they have filled the structure with the most efficient source of energy around - carbohydrates. The hydrogels are built from a combination of two natural ingredients: Alginate - extracted from the cell walls of brown algae. Pectin - found in apples, lemons, carrots and tomatoes, to name a few. These two dietary fibres have been used for decades within the food industry. Combined under precisely the right circumstances, alginate and pectin form a pH-sensitive hydrogel.

Elite Athletes all around the world have discovered and rely on Hydrogel Technology for their training sessions and races. Built on Hydrogel technology, the Maurten Gels and Drink Mixes enable a smooth transportation of carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed. When mixed with water, the Drink Mix 320 and Drink Mix 160 provide you with a liquid sports drink that contains a high concentration of maltodextrin and fructose.

Studies have shown that our bodies can make use of up to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour and thanks to the use of Hydrogel technology, Maurten have discovered a way to increase the amount of carbohydrates, reduce the risk of gastrointestinal problems and remove all unnecessary ingredients that don't aid in your performance.
