Maurten Sports Nutrition
Science-First Fuel for Serious Athletes
Maurten is the sports nutrition brand that changed how elite athletes fuel. Built on peer-reviewed science and used at the world's biggest races — Boston, Berlin, Chicago, Ironman, and the T100 World Series — Maurten's products are trusted by professionals and age-groupers alike who refuse to compromise on performance or gut health.
Hydrogel Technology: The Innovation Behind the Brand
Every Maurten product is built on patented Hydrogel Technology. When consumed, the formula transforms into a gel-like matrix in the stomach, encapsulating carbohydrates (and caffeine, where applicable) and transporting them efficiently for rapid absorption. The result is consistent energy delivery with significantly reduced gastrointestinal distress — even at race pace.
A Modular Fuelling System
Maurten's range is designed to work together. Each product is calibrated around the same carbohydrate units, making it easy to calculate and hit your hourly carb targets across any combination of formats:
- Drink Mix 160 — 40g carbs per 500ml, for longer lower-intensity efforts
- Drink Mix 320 — 80g carbs per 500ml, for high-intensity training and racing
- Gel 100 — 25g carbs, the world's most trusted race gel
- Gel 100 CAF 100 — 25g carbs + 100mg caffeine, for strategic late-race deployment
- Solid 160 — 40g carbs in an oat and rice bar, for texture variety and preloading
Clean. Simple. Effective.
No artificial colours. No flavours. No preservatives. Just the fewest, cleanest ingredients needed to fuel performance — so your body can focus on the work, not on processing what you've eaten.
