This is exactly why Maurten developed the \u003cstrong\u003eDrink Mix\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Hydrogel Technology Does for Your Stomach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaltodextrin and Fructose: A Dual Fuel Pathway\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e80 Grams Per Sachet, and What It Means in Practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEighty 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Drink Mix Fits Into Your Race Plan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maurten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49398132637924,"sku":"7350008410008","price":44.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/drinkmix320maurtenindoos.jpg?v=1784023284","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/drink-mix-320","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
