The world’s most carbohydrate-rich sports drink
Running wisdom suggests that if you’re on the move for longer than an hour, your performance could be improved with a sports drink or gel.
The challenge for manufacturers of energy products has been to deliver more carbohydrate in a way your body can tolerate it. Maurten have succeeded – using hydrogel technology.
The drink transforms into a hydrogel in the stomach, which enables smooth movement of the drink to the intestine, where it’s absorbed without causing any upset.
- 40g carbohydrates, 160 calories
- No added flavours
- No added colours or preservatives, only natural ingredients
- If you want both hydration and a lot of energy – this is the product for you.
- One serving contains 40 grams of carbohydrates (500 ml).
- Use it before, during and/or after activity.
Although relatively new to the Sports nutrition market, Maurten helped to fuel winners at all of the six marathon majors in 2018.
AMOUNT OF ENERGY
Studies have shown that our bodies can make use of up to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. One Drink Mix 160 sachet, mixed with 500 ml of water – contains 40 grams of carbohydrates.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Drink Mix 160 is built on hydrogel technology. When you mix it with water, you’ll get a liquid sports drink containing a high concentration of maltodextrin and fructose. The sports drink instantly converts to hydrogel in the acidity of the stomach. The hydrogel enables a smooth transportation of the drink through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed.
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the content of each sachet with 500 ml of water and shake well until dissolved. Be careful, you need to get the ratio right for the hydrogel technology to work. The mix is designed to be mixed with water with <40mg/L calcium content. Higher levels can affect how it’s dissolved. Consume the sports drink minutes before, during and or directly after activity.
