Lightning Endurance vs Maurten: What's the Difference?

Both Lightning Endurance and Maurten are popular among endurance athletes, but they have completely different approaches. This guide explains the key differences so you can choose the gel that best fits your training.

Composition and Effect

Lightning Endurance High Energy Gel delivers 50 grams of carbohydrates per serving, mainly from maltodextrin. It's a powerful, fast-absorbing fuel for intense efforts.

Maurten Gel 100 contains 25 grams of carbohydrates in a hydrogel form, designed for maximum stomach comfort.

Absorption and Usage

Lightning Endurance is highly concentrated and requires water intake (about 300 ml per gel) for optimal absorption. Maurten, thanks to its hydrogel structure, can be consumed without extra water. While Lightning offers more energy per serving, it does require more attention to hydration.

Price Comparison

Lightning Endurance is more affordable per gram of carbohydrate. Maurten is pricier, partly due to its patented hydrogel technology and premium positioning.

Who Should Choose Which?

  • Choose Maurten if you have a sensitive stomach or want to avoid drinking extra water during exercise.
  • Choose Lightning Endurance if you need sustained high energy and want an efficient, powerful solution at a lower price.

Conclusion

Both gels are effective. For long, demanding efforts, Lightning is a powerful and cost-effective choice. Maurten excels in stomach-friendliness and convenience. Pick the one that suits your body and sport best.
