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.

💡 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.
