MAURTEN Drink Mix 320

Maurten Drink Mix 320 – maximum energy with Hydrogel

Hydrogel is a Swedish innovation that revolutionised fueling in endurance sports. Maurten developed the first drink where carbohydrates are encapsulated in a hydrogel of natural fibres (sodium alginate and pectin). The gel forms in the stomach, ensuring that:

• carbohydrates pass the stomach quickly

• absorption in the small intestine is efficient

• stomach problems are reduced even with high energy intake

Drink Mix 320 provides 320 kcal and 80 g carbohydrates per sachet – Maurten’s most powerful carbohydrate drink without caffeine.

👉 This is far more than typical sports drinks (25–35 g / 500 ml), but thanks to Hydrogel technology it remains gentle on the stomach.

New improvements

• Improved mixing: Powder dissolves faster with less clumping.

• Easier to drink: Lower viscosity makes it less thick → easier to consume large amounts of carbohydrates.

• New ingredient: Small amount of sodium bicarbonate helps maintain neutral pH (not lower than 6) → protects tooth enamel compared to acidic sports drinks.

• More reliable with hard water: Tolerates calcium levels up to 80 mg/L without changing viscosity → consistent fueling even when travelling and using unfamiliar water sources.

Key features

• 320 kcal per sachet

• 80 g carbohydrates (glucose + fructose, 0.8:1 ratio)

• Hydrogel technology → rapid absorption, stomach-friendly

• Neutral taste

• Natural ingredients, no colours or flavours

💡 xcSkiGuru tips

• Long, hard sessions: Works as the main energy source.

• Race strategy: 1 sachet per hour covers most needs → supplement with gels if needed.

• Combine with gels: Add Gel 100/160 to reach over 100 g carbs/hour.

• Cold-weather use: Mix slightly stronger (1 sachet / 400 ml) and use an insulated bottle.

• Energy rhythm: Absorption improves as the session goes on → start with less, increase later.

• Practise drinking: Train your gut in practice, not for the first time in a race.

Directions

Mix 1 sachet with exactly 500 ml water. Correct ratio is crucial for Hydrogel formation. Recommended intake: ~1 sachet per hour in long and intense efforts.
