Maurten Drink Mix 160 – Sports drink 18 sachets

The Maurten Drink Mix 160 sports drink keeps you hydrated and gives you energy. Maurten’s sports drink has already been used by some of the most famous athletes and is considered revolutionary. Top athletes such as Jan Frodeno, Eliud Kipchoge, Kenenisa Bekele, and the Dutch marathon record-holder Abdi Nageeye drink nothing else during training sessions and competitions.

Hydrogel technology

Maurten sports drink is based on a new method of encapsulating carbohydrates and electrolytes. In a conventional sports drink, the carbohydrate concentration must remain relatively low because a higher concentration slows down gastric emptying. A drink with a high sugar content leads to gastrointestinal complaints, while the sugar is also absorbed with great delay because this only occurs in the small intestine. For this reason, the standard sports drinks are isotonic and do not cause stomach complaints, but only provide a modest amount of carbohydrates – too little to give a real boost.

Drink Mix 160

In Maurten products, the carbohydrates are packed in pH-sensitive biopolymers, with each formula in varying concentrations and proportions of glucose fructose and maltodextrin. But these carbohydrates only dissolve at a certain degree of acidity. The carbohydrates remain packed inside these polymers in the stomach, so that normal gastric emptying is not disturbed. The drink is passed through the system like water. Once in the small intestine, the pH rises, and the polymer buffers release their concentrated load of carbohydrates in response. The small intestine can then absorb them without any difficulty. The result is that the athlete quickly circulates a relatively large quantity of carbohydrates with each sip without causing gastrointestinal complaints. If you organize the intake smartly, you can refuel extra, immediately available energy at the crucial moments during long periods of endurance. One Maurten Drink Mix 160 sachet mixed with 500 ml of water contains 40 grams of carbohydrates.
