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.

Improved formula. Better fueling.

Explore new improvements to Drink Mix.

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.

Drink Mix 160 has moved on. It’s better than new.

The science behind it.

A gut reaction

Drink Mix is a pH-sensitive liquid when mixed with 500ml of water. When it meets the acidic environment of the stomach, an instant reaction occurs that converts the liquid into a hydrogel. The hydrogel encapsulates the carbohydrates, enabling the transportation of fuel through the stomach. Once in the intestines, the hydrogel dissolves and the carbohydrates are released and absorbed.

A gut feeling

Comfort matters. Consuming large volumes of liquid during sport can cause a sloshing or bouncing sensation in the stomach. It’s a feeling of discomfort that limits performance. By changing from a liquid to a hydrogel, Drink Mix makes it easier for athletes to consume liquid fuel with high concentrations of carbohydrates and maintain high-intensity performance.

Fueling right from the start.

Fueling is highly personal. Whether you’re training 3 times a week or several times a day, it’s important to apply an appropriate strategy that considers individual diets and specific training programs. Maurten Fuel Guides outline fueling strategies for common training sessions and race formats — for you to build your personal fueling plan.

To the Fuel Guide

Hydrogel Technology is the innovation

Carbohydrates are the currency of fueling — to sustain performance, athletes need to consume them when training and racing, but it can be difficult during high-intensity exercise. Hydrogel Technology encapsulates the carbohydrates, carrying them through the stomach to be absorbed. Combining research–driven development alongside feedback from runners, cyclists, and triathletes, Maurten’s fueling ecosystem enables all humans to become greater athletes
