Maurten Drink Mix 160 Box of 18 - Hydration and Energy Sports Drink

If you want both hydration and substantial energy, this is the product for you. One serving delivers 40 grams of carbohydrates (500ml). Use it before, during, and after activity. Each box contains 18 individual sachets, providing 18 complete servings of 40 grams of carbohydrates each—ideal for training blocks, race preparation, and consistent fuelling throughout your season.

Carbohydrate Delivery

Studies have demonstrated that our bodies can utilise up to 90 grams of carbohydrates hourly. One Drink Mix 160 sachet, combined with 500ml water, delivers 40 grams of carbohydrates—providing moderate energy alongside hydration.

Hydrogel Technology Mechanism

Drink Mix 160 employs hydrogel technology (patent pending). When you combine it with water, you create a liquid sports drink containing elevated concentrations of maltodextrin and fructose. The sports drink instantly transforms into hydrogel upon contact with stomach acidity. This hydrogel enables smooth transportation through the stomach to the intestine where water, salt, and carbohydrates are absorbed.

Five Natural Ingredients Only

Hydrogel technology enables Maurten to redefine sports fuel. Drink Mix 160 and Drink Mix 320 represent this innovation:

Double the Carbohydrates - Drink Mix 320 contains approximately 14 per cent—or 80 grams—of carbohydrates when mixed. That's roughly twice the amount previously considered tolerable for the body.

No Artificial Flavouring - Maurten doesn't rely on artificial flavours. The taste reflects exactly what the product contains.

Neutral pH Formula - Developed with both stomach comfort and dental health considered, the product maintains neutral pH.

Pure Formulation - No added colourants or preservatives. The sports drinks contain only five natural ingredients. Nothing more and nothing less than necessary.

It works brilliantly for athletes new to high-carb fuelling strategies, those who find 80g per serving excessive, or runners wanting to combine drink mix with gels for customised intake. Whether you're using it pre-workout for energy loading, during activity for sustained fuelling and hydration, or post-effort for recovery, Drink Mix 160 provides flexible carbohydrate and fluid delivery without overwhelming your system.

Mixing Instructions

Combine the content of each sachet with 500ml of water and shake thoroughly until dissolved. Precision is essential—the ratio must be accurate for the hydrogel technology to function properly. The mix is formulated for water containing less than 40mg/L calcium content. Higher calcium levels can affect dissolution. Consume the sports drink minutes before, during, or immediately after activity.
