From training to race day, Maurten fuels your effort without slowing you down.
Founded in Sweden, Maurten creates energy gels, drink mixes and solid bars for both professional and amateur athletes. Developed through scientific research and using cutting edge Hydrogel Technology, Maurten gel delivers carbs in a smooth, jelly-like structure. This patented system kicks in the moment it hits your gut, reacting with stomach acid to form a hydrogel around the carbs as they move through your digestive system.
Made from natural ingredients like seaweed-derived alginate and fruit-based pectin, Maurten skips artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners and preservatives. It’s clean, neutral-tasting and designed to be gentle, even at high carbohydrate loads.
Whether you’re running, cycling, competing in a triathlon, training in the gym or taking on a long-distance endurance event, Maurten provides flexible fuelling options. There's no need for water with the gels and the drink mixes fit effortlessly into many different fueling strategies. You can prep them the night before and they’ll be ready when you are.
Trusted by elite athletes on the world stage, every batch is third-party tested and Informed Sport certified. Maurten gel is also gluten-free and suitable for those who prefer carefully planned energy intake during intense or extended sessions.
With Maurten, you can focus on your performance and hydration strategy. As a UK stockist of Maurten gel, browse the selection to buy at Healf.

Maurten Gel 100 is made with six ingredients and contains 25g of carbohydrates per serving, providing a quick and sustained energy boost for athletes during training or racing. Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100 also provides 25g of carbohydrates, alongside 100mg of caffeine. As the caffeine is incorporated into the hydrogel, the product retains Maurten’s neutral taste without the bitterness common in some caffeinated gels.
Across the wider range, Drink Mix 160 provides 40g of carbohydrates and has a lighter consistency suited to everyday training sessions. Drink Mix 320 provides 80g of carbohydrates and can be used during endurance exercise, for pre-race fuelling or as part of a carbohydrate-loading strategy. Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 also provides 80g of carbohydrates, alongside 100mg of caffeine.
Maurten Solid 160 and Solid C 160 each provide 40g of carbohydrates and offer an alternative to gels and drinks for athletes who prefer solid fuel. They are suited to long, low-to-medium-intensity sessions and can also be used before or after training when a convenient, low fibre carbohydrate option is preferred.
No, you don’t need to drink water with Maurten gels; that’s one of the major perks. Unlike traditional sticky, sugary gels that require a chaser to help them go down, Maurten’s hydrogel format is designed to be taken on its own. It’s smooth, easy to consume and already optimised for absorption, making it ideal for moments when grabbing water just isn’t an option.
That said, hydration still matters. While Maurten gels don’t require water, staying topped up with regular fluids or Maurten drink mixes remains important for supporting performance. Each drink mix sachet should be combined with 500ml of water according to the preparation instructions.
Maurten gels should be tested regularly during training rather than introduced for the first time on race day. Use key sessions, such as long runs, rides and race-pace workouts, to practice your planned timings and understand how your energy levels and stomach respond.
Maurten products are designed to complement a balanced diet, not replace real food. Your fuelling strategy should reflect the duration and intensity of the session, alongside factors such as body composition, fitness, climate, sweat rate and caffeine tolerance. Fuel consistently throughout longer sessions so that you finish tired rather than depleted, then prioritise rehydration and carbohydrate replenishment during recovery.
A common approach for endurance athletes is to take one or two Maurten gels per hour, depending on the session and target carbohydrate intake. Each Gel 100 provides 25g of carbohydrates, so two gels deliver approximately 50g per hour. Some athletes also take one gel shortly before starting. Test your planned timing and intake during training before using the same strategy on race day.
