Maurten is rocket fuel for the endurance athletes. To help our community better understand its applications and use, Coach Dan sat down for a video chat on Instagram with their Head of Nutrition, Tobias Chistensson. If you're not familiar with the product, it hit the market in 2016. What makes it unique is its "hyrdogel" technology. When the product reaches the acid in the stomach, it turns into a hydrogel, passes through, and gets absorbed in the small intestine. This breakthrough allows for a major performance enhancement: more carbs in your system with virtually no gastro-intestinal distress. In spite of all the science, the pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, and the slick premium branding, the product is all about simplicity. It's just a more efficient carb delivery system for athletes. That's it. Watch as Dan and Tobias get it all boiled down to that fact and understand how best to use it with salt and electrolyte mix, how/when to prefuel before marathons, and much more. Enjoy!
