Hi. Just seen a video from founder and ceo of maurten. He says all five first studies were „raincoat studies“. The intensity of running was not high enough to cause bowel distress. So they could have compared the gels with a pizza and still have the same results. Only at higher intensity the maurten gel could show its effects.
do you have a link to a newer study that shows this? Otherwise, I would expect the CEO of a company to discredit anything that would hurt the companies bottom line, otherwise they would be a pretty poor CEO. And keep in mind, the company itself was funding the original studies...
I made my own Version of Maurten at a fraction of the price..... formulated a club drink mix. Based on the Nike Sub 2 Hr marathon attempt. (Hoping you’ll post your recipes) To be mixed w 500 ml water (500ml =2,113 cups) Maltodextran 54g Fructose 27g Pectin 1.5G Sodium alginate 2.5G . Sodium chloride 0.5G Total kCal 320 Why maltodextran/fructose? Different absorption rates in GI tract. Usage Less than 1 hour 40g carb or 1/2 320 mixed bottle. 1-2 hours 80g carb or 1 320g bottle Longer than 2 hours 80g per hour or 1 320g per/hr. Distilled water = smoother product because calcium from tap thickens fluid.
I believe that some of the GI distress associated with the intake of gels, can be traced back to the pouch format itself! Everytime these gels are handled by someone they are grapped right where you put your lips when ingesting them, and who knows where those fingers have been!!! I ALWAYS sanitize my gels with a little rubbing alcohol before I store them. It doesn't eliminate the issues, but it sure as hell eliminates one of the variables! Cheers

Maltodextran 54g
Fructose 27g
Pectin 1.5G
Sodium alginate 2.5G
.
Sodium chloride 0.5G
Total kCal 320
Why maltodextran/fructose?
Different absorption rates in GI tract.
Usage
Less than 1 hour 40g carb or 1/2 320 mixed bottle.
1-2 hours 80g carb or 1 320g bottle
Longer than 2 hours 80g per hour or 1 320g per/hr.

Yes!
I will get a video up of my recipe in the next week (spoiler it's very similar to yours haha)
But why pectin?
U messed up the gelling quantities

These studies were crap
