Description
A New Consistency. Built for the Longest Efforts.
The Maurten Gel Mix 480 introduces a revolutionary fueling format for endurance athletes. It is a powder-based mix that bridges the gap between traditional liquid sports drinks and thick energy gels. When mixed with 200 ml of water, it creates a unique, drinkable hydrogel texture that is thicker than a standard Drink Mix but more liquid and looser than a ready-to-use Maurten Gel sachet.
Formulated to deliver the highest amount of carbohydrates in the Maurten lineup, a single sachet packs 120 grams of carbohydrates (480 kcal), ensuring you stay fully fueled during long-distance training blocks and races.
Patented Hydrogel Technology
Like all Maurten products, Gel Mix 480 utilizes patented Hydrogel Technology. The mixture responds to the acidity of your stomach, immediately transforming into a true gel. This encapsulates the concentrated carbohydrates, enabling them to bypass stomach irritation and travel smoothly to the intestines for optimal, fast absorption as fuel.
Key Features:
- Maximum Carbohydrates: 120 grams of carbs (480 kcal) per single serving sachet.
- Innovative Texture: Sits perfectly between a sports drink and a standard gel for easy consumption through a bite-valve soft flask.
- Clean Formula: No added flavors, artificial colors, or chemical preservatives.
- Stomach-Friendly: Hydrogel encapsulation reduces gastrointestinal distress even under high-intensity exercise.
- Customizable Taste: Compatible with Maurten Additions flavor packets (such as Cola, Menthol, Orange, or Apple) to combat flavor fatigue.
- Make Ahead Convenience: Once prepared, it can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours.
- Informed Sport Certified: Tested for banned substances, making it completely safe for competitive and elite athletes
