Normally, as soon as the concentration of carbohydrates in a drink is increased, gastric emptying slows down – resulting in less fluid and carbohydrate delivery to the body. The stomach problems caused by this have been a significant issue for many athletes.
At Maurten, they have found a way to avoid these problems by using hydrogel technology. This has enabled them to develop sports energy products with high carbohydrate concentrations. Some of the best runners in the world are now using Maurten products, both during training and races.
Drink Mix 160 & 320: Which One is For Me?
Both Drink Mixes are built with Maurten's patented hydrogel technology and contain two different carbohydrate concentrations.
Drink Mix 160 contains 40g of carbohydrates (mixed with 500ml of water) while the Drink Mix 320 and Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 (100mg caffeine per serving) contains 80g of carbohydrates (mixed with 500ml of water).
Drink Mix 160 can be used as a preload too, and for shorter training and races. This would be our recommended option in hot and humid conditions when you’d need more fluid.
Drink Mix 320 and 320 CAF can be used as a preload and consumed during training and racing. This product could be beneficial when fluid requirements are low, as in cooler temperatures.
