Imagine: you're on a long run or half marathon. You want energy without chewing, all while staying hydrated. That's exactly what Maurten's Drink Mix 160 is designed for. One sachet dissolved in 500 ml of water gives you 40 grams of carbohydrates. No extra gels or water bottles: you drink and refuel at the same time.
The base of this drink mix combines maltodextrin and fructose, two types of carbohydrates that your intestines absorb through different pathways. This allows your body to process more fuel per hour than with just one type of carbohydrate. Good to know: with fructose, the drink leads to a lower rise in blood sugar than foods containing sucrose or glucose. The formula also contains sodium alginate and pectin, the core of Maurten's Hydrogel technology: upon contact with gastric acid, a gel-like structure forms around the carbohydrates, which reduces the sensation of sloshing in the stomach during exertion.
With 40 grams of carbohydrates per sachet, the Drink Mix 160 is well suited for longer or less intense efforts where you aim for 30 to 60 grams per hour: a long, easy run, a recovery bike ride, or the first hours of a triathlon. Need more, for example 80 to 90 grams per hour in a race? Simply combine the drink mix with a gel or an additional sachet.
The concentration of your sports drink greatly influences your stomach's reaction. With a ready-to-drink bottle, you're stuck with a fixed ratio. With a powder, you choose the amount of water. In cold weather, you might drink a little less; in hot weather, you want more liquid. That's the advantage of a drink mix over a pre-mixed beverage. Maurten recommends dissolving the sachet in 500 ml of water containing a maximum of 80 mg of calcium per liter. Shake well until completely dissolved.
Gastrointestinal issues are every endurance athlete's nightmare. Too many carbohydrates per hour or a drink that's too concentrated, and the stomach rebels. That's where the hydrogel comes in: carbohydrates pass through the stomach in a gel-like structure, reducing direct contact with the stomach lining. However, train your nutritional strategy in training before relying on it in competition: the intestines need training too.
Each sachet contains exactly 40 grams of carbohydrates, which simplifies the calculation of your hourly intake. For 30 to 60 grams per hour, one sachet is enough; for more, combine with a gel or a second sachet.
The Drink Mix 160 combines maltodextrin and fructose, which are absorbed by different transporters. This allows your body to process more carbohydrates per hour than with a single-carbohydrate drink.
Sodium alginate and pectin form a gel-like structure upon contact with gastric acid. This gel encapsulates carbohydrates and reduces the feeling of sloshing during exercise.
Unlike a ready-to-drink beverage, you decide on the amount of water. More water in hot weather, the standard dose of 500 ml otherwise. This flexibility helps adapt your hydration to the conditions.

A drink mix is a powder to be dissolved in water: you drink and absorb carbohydrates at the same time. It's practical during exercise, as there's no chewing involved and your stomach is your fuel. The Drink Mix 160 provides 40 grams of carbohydrates per 500 ml, suitable for long or less intense sessions.
It depends on the duration and intensity. For 1 to 2.5 hours of exercise, 30 to 60 grams per hour is common. For longer or more intense events, many aim for 60 to 90 grams. One sachet of Drink Mix 160 provides 40 grams; supplement as needed with a gel or a second sachet.
Maurten recommends 500 ml per sachet, which is the concentration the product is designed for. In hot weather, you can add a little more water, but the drink will be less concentrated. Less than 500 ml makes it more concentrated, which can cause stomach upset in some people.
The price per sachet is higher, that's true. In return, you get a precise 40-gram portion of carbohydrates, with Maurten's proprietary Hydrogel technology. A box contains 18 sachets, enough to cover several weeks of training.
The drink mix contains sodium alginate and pectin. Upon contact with stomach acid, they form a gel-like structure around the carbohydrates, reducing direct contact between the liquid and the stomach wall: less sloshing sensation. The carbohydrates are then absorbed normally in the intestine.
A drink mix dissolves in water: you drink and refuel at the same time. A gel is a carbohydrate concentrate to be consumed separately, often with water. For long efforts where you drink a lot, a drink mix can be more convenient; a gel is more compact to carry.
