Solid 225 - Cacao removes everything but the essentials. The result is a sweet and natural oat-and-rice-based chewable which is Cocoa flavored. This carbohydrate-rich, low fiber fuel source is made with real food and it's the perfect complement to Maurten's Hydrogel product. The Solid 225 C is made with cocoa.
Solid is high on carbs and low on sugar. For optimal performance, solid is packing more carbohydrates than most products on the market. The slightly sweet flavor isn't from excess sugar, it's from the varied carbohydrates sources — sugar, oats, and rice. You also benefit from the salt content which helps to replace sodium levels during long training sessions and races.
- For distance runners, Solid is the ideal post-session recovery snack to replace carbohydrates. It also works as a pre-race meal alternative
- For cyclists, Solid is a great fuel option for low-to-medium intensity rides and as a before and after snack
- For Ultra runners, the standard nutrition advice is to eat something solid every 4 hours hours
"Solid gives me those quick carbs that I can use and it’s really light on my stomach. I felt fine eating it and then running, like, five minutes later." -- Molly Seidel

In 2015, Maurten discovered how to make sports fuels easier to tolerate by encapsulating high concentrations of carbohydrates in hydrogels. The sports fuels, based on only natural ingredients, became popular and one year later some of the world's best athletes started using their products.
The Company is based in Sweden, but fuels athletes across the world with a few accomplished individuals such as Eliud Kipchoge (Olympic Champion) and Jan Frodeno (3-time winner of the Ironman World Championship) swearing by Maurten.
