Maurten Drink Mix 160 is a carbohydrate fuel for endurance sports that utilizes Hydrogel Technology. It contains 40 grams of carbohydrates per 500ml of water.
Drink Mix changed the game for endurance sport. Designed to help athletes consume carbohydrate liquid fuel during longer, lower intensity training and racing, Drink Mix 160 contains 40 grams of carbohydrates when dissolved in 500ml of water. Combine with the full Maurten 160 range to easily calculate a fueling strategy and achieve the right amount of carbohydrates per hour.
Athletes can suffer with gastrointestinal distress when consuming carbohydrate fuel during high-intensity exercise. Hydrogel Technology is the innovation that encapsulates the carbohydrates, carrying them through the stomach to be absorbed.
It’s a gut reaction.
The Drink Mix becomes a hydrogel upon contact with stomach acid, encapsulating the carbohydrates and helping to reduce the sensation of liquid sloshing in the stomach when consuming fuel during exercise.
New ingredient
Drink Mix now contains a minimal amount of sodium bicarbonate. Many sports drinks are acidic, which can harm teeth enamel. The sodium bicarbonate in Drink Mix helps to maintain a neutral pH (not lower than pH6).
Easier to drink
Improved, lower viscosity — Drink Mix is now less thick, making it easier for athletes to consume more carbohydrates during training or racing.
More reliability when using hard water
Improved tolerance to higher levels of calcium in water — up to 80 mg calcium/L. The viscosity of Drink Mix stays the same even when mixing with harder, high-calcium water. This means more reliable fueling with Drink Mix even when traveling to races and using unfamiliar water sources.
Work in progress.
Maurten products don’t stand still. As the endurance and science landscapes change, fueling products need to keep pace as well. We listen to athletes. Their first-hand, real-world feedback works alongside research to shape the ongoing development of the Maurten ecosystem.
