You want energy without chewing, all while staying hydrated. That's exactly what Maurten's \u003cstrong\u003eDrink Mix\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComposition and Functionality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e40 grams per hour, and how to integrate it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a powder and not a ready-to-drink bottle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStomach and intestines during exertion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGastrointestinal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maurten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49398184771812,"sku":"7350008410022","price":39.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Maurtendrinkmix160indoos.jpg?v=1784023459","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/drink-mix-160","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
