Imagine: you're in the middle of a long competition or an intensive training session and you want to absorb a lot of carbohydrates without your stomach protesting. This is exactly why Maurten developed the Drink Mix 320. One sachet dissolved in 500 ml of water provides 80 grams of carbohydrates. That's a lot. Marathon, long bike ride, or triathlon: this product is designed for times when solid food is not practical.
The main problem with high carbohydrate intake during exercise is the stomach: nausea, sloshing sensation, cramps. Maurten has provided an ingenious solution. The drink mix contains sodium alginate and pectin. As soon as they come into contact with stomach acid, they form a hydrogel: a gel-like structure that encapsulates carbohydrates. Result: carbohydrates pass through the stomach in this gel layer and are released further into the intestine for absorption. This reduces the sloshing sensation of liquid in the stomach when you run or cycle at a sustained pace.
Drink Mix 320 combines maltodextrin and fructose. This is not a random choice. Your intestines have different transport channels for different sugars: maltodextrin uses one, fructose the other. By offering both carbohydrate sources together, your body can absorb more carbohydrates per hour than with a single source. Good to know: a food containing fructose causes a lower blood sugar rise than foods containing sucrose or glucose. This is relevant for endurance athletes who want to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Eighty grams of carbohydrates per 500 ml bottle: a high concentration. For efforts up to about an hour and a half, you probably need less. But for longer events (half or full marathon, three-hour or longer cycling race, Ironman), needs increase sharply. Experienced athletes train their gut to assimilate 80 to 120 grams per hour. One sachet of drink mix fits perfectly into this. Important: always train this first in practice, starting with lower concentrations.
No single product does everything on its own. The Maurten Drink Mix 320 works best as part of a broader nutritional plan. Combine it with extra water if you sweat a lot, as the drink mix may not cover all your fluid needs. For very long efforts, alternate between drink mix bottles and gels. The ingredient list is short: maltodextrin, fructose, sodium alginate, pectin, salt, and sodium bicarbonate. No colorings, flavorings, or sweeteners. Purely functional.
One sachet dissolved in 500 ml of water provides 80 grams of carbohydrates, which is within the range recommended for high carbohydrate intake during long endurance efforts. No need to combine multiple products.
The combination of maltodextrin and fructose uses two different absorption channels. This allows your body to process more carbohydrates per hour than with a single-source sugar drink.
Upon contact with gastric acidity, sodium alginate and pectin form a gel-like structure that encapsulates carbohydrates. This reduces the sloshing sensation in the stomach during sustained exercise.
Maltodextrin, fructose, sodium alginate, pectin, salt and sodium bicarbonate. No colorants, flavors or sweeteners. A purely functional powder to dissolve in water.

It depends on the duration and intensity. For efforts up to one and a half hours, 30 to 60 grams per hour is sufficient for most athletes. For longer events, the need increases to 60 to 90 grams per hour. Experienced athletes sometimes go up to 90-120 grams. A sachet of Drink Mix 320 provides 80 grams, which is in the middle of this higher range.
The difference lies in the carbohydrate content. The 160 version provides 40 grams per 500 ml, while the 320 version provides 80 grams. The 160 is more suitable for shorter or less intense sessions, or as a supplement; the 320 is for when you want maximum carbohydrates in a single bottle.
Yes, many endurance athletes do this. A bottle of drink mix is convenient on the bike or at aid stations, while a gel can be more practical for running. However, monitor your total carbohydrate intake per hour. If you're already getting 80 grams from a bottle, there's no need to add a gel, unless your gut is trained for it.
This is indeed a high concentration, not to be started without preparation. Train your gut by gradually increasing concentrations in training. Sodium alginate and pectin form a hydrogel in the stomach that encapsulates carbohydrates and helps them pass more smoothly, reducing the sloshing sensation.
Your intestines have different transport channels for different sugars. Maltodextrin is absorbed via the SGLT1 channel, while fructose is absorbed via the GLUT5 channel. By combining the two, your body assimilates more carbohydrates per hour than with a single source. This is why almost all modern endurance sports drinks mix multiple types of carbohydrates.
In liquid form, a drink mix generally passes through the stomach faster than solid food, as there is no chewing and less digestion involved. It's more practical at high intensity. Solid food can be enjoyable at lower intensity. Many athletes use both at different points in a race.
