Maurten sports nutrition


Maurten is a Swedish brand of sports nutrition that helps athletes perform at their best. By combining research-driven development with continuous feedback from elite and recreational athletes, Maurten has created a range of sports nutrition products designed for athletes of all levels. At the heart of each product is the Maurten Hydrogel Technology. 

Hydrogel-technology

Maurten's sports nutrition is built around its patented Hydrogel Technology, which makes higher concentrations of carbohydrates easier to tolerate. In practice, this means that Maurten gels and drink mixes help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort, making it easier to follow your fueling strategy during training and racing. The carbohydrates are encapsuled in a hydrogel. This allows them to pass through the stomach more smoothly and in a controlled manner before reaching the small intestine. Once there, the hydrogel dissolves, releasing the carbohydrates so they can be absorbed and used as fuel. 

This Hydrogel Technology enables athletes to absorb more carbohydrates per hour during high-intensity exercise.  

The benefits of Maurten

  • Higher carbohydrate intake with less discomfort. The Hydrogel Technology helps reduce gastrointestinal issues by encapsulating the carbohydrates, making them easier to tolerate during exercice.
  • Neutral taste. Maurten products have a mild, neutral flavour and are free from artificial additives and acids that can put extra strain on the stomach. If you want more variety, you can personalize your fueling with Maurten Additions, helping to prevent flavour fatigue by varying in taste. 
  • Proven in competition. Maurten products have been trusted by some of the world's best endurance athletes. Marathon champions such as Eliud Kipchoge and Tigst Assefa have relied on Maurten during their record-breaking performances.
