MAURTEN Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 Box of 14 bags

Maurten Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 – maximum energy and caffeine 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 made from natural fibres (sodium alginate and pectin). This gel forms in the stomach, ensuring that:

• carbohydrates pass the stomach quickly

• absorption in the small intestine is efficient

• stomach issues are reduced even with high energy intake

Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 provides:

• 320 kcal and 80 g carbohydrates per sachet

• 100 mg caffeine – boosts alertness, focus and performance

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

Key features

• 320 kcal per sachet

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

• 100 mg caffeine (~ one strong coffee)

• Hydrogel technology → rapid absorption, stomach-friendly

• Neutral taste

• Natural ingredients, no colours or flavours

💡 xcSkiGuru tips

• Long and intense sessions: Best for situations where both maximum energy and a caffeine kick are needed.

• Caffeine timing: Use before key phases (e.g. last 1–2 hours of a race).

• Combine with non-caffeinated: Use regular Drink Mix 320 during most of the session and CAF 100 only strategically → avoid excess caffeine.

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

• Practise caffeine use: Try it in training, 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 is ~1 sachet per hour in intense efforts, considering total caffeine consumption.
