Maurten Drink Mix (Original Formula)

This is the most innovative sports drink mix on the market.

Maurten has developed the latest technology in sports nutrition, utilizing hydrogel to deliver nutrients. The world's top marathoners widely use this revolutionary, carbohydrate-rich hydration mix.

Why Maurten Drink Mix is Different

The secret to Maurten is that it allows you to consume a high amount of carbs without upsetting your stomach. This means you can push hard and blow past your current limits because you’ll have the fuel (muscle glycogen) you need.

Maurten Drink Mix instantly transforms into a hydrogel upon contact with stomach acid. The hydrogel encapsulates the carbohydrates to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal distress and carries them through the stomach, where they are absorbed and utilized as fuel.

This drink mix is easy to consume during exercise, allowing you to hydrate while still reaping the benefits of a chew or gel.

What’s in Maurten Drink Mix

Maurten doesn’t believe in adding anything additional to their products that doesn’t enhance performance, so they don’t add any flavors. The taste is “slightly sweet”; we describe it as having a light maple syrup taste. Most athletes report that they enjoy drinking it more frequently because of its mild flavor.

It has just 5 ingredients, with either 40 or 80 g of carbohydrate options.

What if I’m not a Pro? Is it For Me?

A resounding yes!

We’ve seen that the impact is actually much more significant for recreational athletes. Whereas a pro might see a 1% to 2% performance improvement, we’ve seen countless recreational athletes tell us their Marathon time dropped by over 10% after switching to Maurten.

The Options

• Maurten Drink Mix 160: 160 calories, 40 g of carbohydrate, 160 mg of sodium. A better option for lighter training days or to get more hydration for those hot, humid days (for example, 2 bottles of 160 give you the same nutrients as one bottle of 320, plus more sodium for extra hydration needs).
• Maurten Drink Mix 320: 320 calories, 80 g of carbohydrate, 200 mg of sodium. A better option for higher intensity, longer duration training days or events.
• Variety Pack: Not sure which Drink Mix you prefer? Try both! Our variety pack has two Drink Mix 160 and two Drink Mix 320, so you can find what works for you.

How to Use Maurten Drink Mix

With Maurten Drink Mix, it is essential to use the exact amount of water recommended to ensure the technology works to its full potential. This product is designed to be mixed with 17 oz. (500 mL) of water that has less than 40 mg/L calcium content.

Maurten emphasizes that this mix ratio is crucial for it to work effectively. Also, ensure that you shake the solution until it dissolves completely.

• Preload – Drink Mix 320 30–60 minutes before sessions.
• During long sessions – Drink Mix 320 for sustained energy or combine with gels for higher-intensity efforts. 
• Post-training – Drink Mix 160 or 320 for recovery.

When so many pros use Maurten to break records, you know it works.
