Maurten Drink Mix 160 is a carbohydrate fuel for endurance sports that utilizes Hydrogel Technology. It contains 40 grams of carbohydrates per 500ml of water.
Drink Mix changed the game for endurance sport. Designed to help athletes consume carbohydrate liquid fuel during longer, lower intensity training and racing, Drink Mix 160 contains 40 grams of carbohydrates when dissolved in 500ml of water. Combine with the full Maurten 160 range to easily calculate a fueling strategy and achieve the right amount of carbohydrates per hour.
Athletes can suffer with gastrointestinal distress when consuming carbohydrate fuel during high-intensity exercise. Hydrogel Technology is the innovation that encapsulates the carbohydrates, carrying them through the stomach to be absorbed.
It’s a gut reaction.
The Drink Mix becomes a hydrogel upon contact with stomach acid, encapsulating the carbohydrates and helping to reduce the sensation of liquid sloshing in the stomach when consuming fuel during exercise.
Ingredients
Maltodextrin, fructose, sodium alginate, pectin, salt, sodium bicarbonate.

Maurten Addition is a solution for overcoming flavor fatigue during training or racing. Reset the palate by adding 1 serving to 500 ml of Drink Mix 320 or 160. Choose between Apple, Cola, Menthol, or Orange. Compatible with Maurten Hydrogel Technology products.
Add taste to the Mix
Maurten Addition is a palate reset. It is designed to give athletes the option of adding a different taste to Drink Mix 320 or 160. Repeated consumption of carbohydrate fuels — even those with a neutral flavor profile — can lead to a state of flavor fatigue. Symptoms can include a lack of motivation to maintain a planned fueling protocol, sickly or nauseous sensation, and a desensitized sense of taste. For athletes impacted by flavor fatigue, the result can be reduced fueling and an energy deficit. Maurten Addition enables athletes to vary their fuel according to preferred taste without impacting the function of Hydrogel Technology.
Taste is personal
Any fuel strategy should be unique to the athlete using it. Taste is no different. How and when athletes use taste is highly individualized. Additions enable athletes to vary the taste of Drink Mix on their terms — applying a palate reset where necessary and as required. This is calculated fueling.
Flavor fatigue explained
Over-exposure and repeated consumption of the same taste or texture can reduce the appetite to maintain a consistent fueling strategy. In short, fuel becomes less appealing. It breaks an athlete’s commitment to the plan they are trying to follow and ultimately may lead to an energy deficit. Additions help athletes to prioritize fueling by mitigating against the negative effects of flavor fatigue.
