Maurten products are based on hydrogel technology, designed to encapsulate high concentrations of carbohydrates and facilitate their absorption during exercise.

They are formulated exclusively with food-grade ingredients, without added flavors, colorings or preservatives. The approach is simple and functional: only what is necessary to deliver energy efficiently during physical effort.

Maurten uses natural ingredients, widely tested and suitable for food consumption.

Drink Mix: maltodextrin, fructose, pectin, sodium alginate and sodium chloride (salt).

Gel 100: water, glucose, fructose, calcium carbonate, gluconic acid and sodium alginate.

Yes. All Maurten products are certified by Informed Sport, one of the most demanding testing programs in sports nutrition worldwide.

Each batch is analyzed to detect substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), providing an additional level of assurance for athletes competing under strict regulations.

Maurten products undergo rigorous quality controls. Each batch is analyzed in independent laboratories, and all suppliers comply with FSSC 22000 certification, a leading international standard in food safety.

No. Although Maurten is widely used by elite athletes, its products are designed for both professional and amateur athletes, adapting to anyone practicing endurance sports who is looking for an efficient and well-tolerated energy source.

Maurten manufactures its products using ingredients certified as gluten-free and free from other common allergens.

However, SOLID 225 and SOLID C 225 products may contain traces of gluten due to possible cross-contamination at the production facility.

The brand designs its products to have little or no flavor, avoiding artificial flavors and colorings commonly used to mask aggressive formulations.

The perceived sweetness comes exclusively from glucose and fructose. If adding a natural flavor is desired, ingredients with high acidity should be avoided, as they may alter the hydrogel structure and compromise its functionality.

Adding flavor does not improve athletic performance.

Carbohydrate absorption is usually perceived 15 to 20 minutes after consuming Drink Mix or Gel.

Peak blood glucose concentration is reached approximately 30 to 45 minutes, and most carbohydrates are absorbed within 60–75 minutes after intake.

The functionality of Drink Mix depends on a chemical reaction in the stomach between the pH-sensitive product and the acidic gastric environment. Factors that alter this balance — such as consuming other products or large amounts of water beforehand — may negatively affect hydrogel formation.

Many energy products contain acids that can harm oral health. Maurten formulates its products with a near-neutral pH, reducing their impact on teeth and gums.

Additionally, carbohydrates are encapsulated within the hydrogel, minimizing direct contact with teeth and helping preserve oral health during prolonged use.

It is recommended to store sachets and boxes in a dry environment at controlled room temperature, ideally between 10 °C and 30 °C, avoiding prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
