  • So one study wasn't an endurance test and the other showed normal sports drinks in that quantity caused more stomach problems.

    I'm not defending Maurten or ever going to buy it btw.

    Hutchinson concludes: “Taken together, these studies aren’t encouraging for Maurten fans. Whether it’s cycling or running, steady pace or intervals, low volume or high volume of drinking, there’s no apparent advantage to the hydrogel.” Admittedly, the sample sizes were small, and there are other possibly mitigating factors. Still, Hutchinson says he’s still open to persuasion, if and when some meaningful data come to light. In the meantime, that’s one powerful placebo.

  • I understood the whole point of the product was to be able to take on lots of carbs without having an upset stomach. He's missed the point.
