The science

Drink Mix is a pH-sensitive liquid when mixed with 500 ml of water. When it meets the acidic environment of the stomach, an instant reaction occurs that converts the liquid into a hydrogel. The hydrogel encapsulates the carbohydrates, enabling the transportation of fuel through the stomach. Once in the intestines, the hydrogel dissolves and the carbohydrates are released and absorbed.

The comfort

Consuming large volumes of liquid during sport can cause a sloshing or bouncing sensation in the stomach. It’s a feeling of discomfort that limits performance. By changing from a liquid to a hydrogel, Drink Mix makes it easier for athletes to consume liquid fuel with high concentrations of carbohydrates and maintain high-intensity performance.

Fueling right from the start.

Fueling is highly personal. Whether you’re training 3 times a week or several times a day, it’s important to apply an appropriate strategy that considers individual diets and specific training programs. Maurten Fuel Guides outline fueling strategies for common training sessions and race formats — for you to build your personal fueling plan.

Hydrogel Technology is the innovation

Carbohydrates are the currency of fueling — to sustain performance, athletes need to consume them when training and racing, but it can be difficult during high-intensity exercise. Hydrogel Technology encapsulates the carbohydrates, carrying them through the stomach to be absorbed. Combining research–driven development alongside feedback from runners, cyclists, and triathletes, Maurten’s fueling ecosystem enables all humans to become greater athletes.
