Drink Mix isn’t like other liquid carbohydrate drinks. Thanks to Maurten Hydrogel Technology, it functions in a completely unique way. Drink Mix instantly changes from a liquid to a hydrogel once it meets the stomach acid.
Encapsulating the carbohydrates, the hydrogel transports them through the stomach to the intestines where they are absorbed and used as fuel. Providing energy from the carbohydrates plus hydration, the discomfort of liquid sloshing in the stomach is also eliminated due to the change from liquid to gel. Making running on varied terrain easier.
A Maurten Drink Mix review comes down to three questions: how many carbohydrates, adding taste or not, and with or without caffeine.
All three options are built on Hydrogel Technology, with a neutral taste and the option to add Maurten Additions (Orange, Apple, Cola, and Menthol) to help limit flavor fatigue when fueling.
