That’s a lot compared to many of the traditional gels out there. It delivers 25 grams of carbohydrates through a unique blend of fructose and glucose (ratio of 0.8:1). It packs a high weight to energy ratio and doesn’t contain any added flavours, preservatives or colourants. Just like all of our products, it’s vegan-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUse the GEL 100 CAF 100 on its own during shorter durations, or combine it with other Maurten products to ensure you have enough carbohydrates throughout your session.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAMOUNT OF CARBOHYDRATES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is well known that our bodies can make use of about 60 grams of ingested carbohydrates per hour, in the form of glucose or maltodextrin (glucose polymer). Using a 0.5:1 combination of fructose and glucose\/maltodextrin, allows uptake of up to 90 grams per hour. More recent studies have shown that increased fructose content, above 0.5:1 enables an even higher uptake. The GEL 100 CAF 100 is based on a 0.8:1 fructose-to-glucose ratio. One serving contains 25 grams of carbohydrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGEL 100 CAF 100 – HOW TO USE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeveloping a nutritional strategy for races or key sessions is complex. Everyone is different –and the caffeine absorption and metabolizing rate varies between individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere are two key factors that are important to take into account: 1) your body weight and 2) if you’re used to caffeine. Science suggests an intake of 3 mg of caffeine per kilogram body mass, to aid performance. But again, it’s highly individual. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maurten","offers":[{"title":"Individual","offer_id":44776168292528,"sku":"MAGELCAF100IN","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Box of 12","offer_id":44776168358064,"sku":"MAUGEL100","price":72.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/5507\/1920\/files\/MAGELCAF100_1__08287.1734996316.1280.1280.png?v=1759393221","url":"https:\/\/www.bluesport.co.nz\/products\/maurten-gel-100-caf-100","provider":"Blue Sport Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
