If you want both hydration and lot of energy – this is the product for you. One serving contains 40 grams of carbohydrates (500 ml). Use it before, during and/or after activity.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Drink Mix 160 is built on hydrogel technology. When you mix it with water, you'll get a liquid sports drink containing a high concentration of maltodextrin and fructose. The sports drink instantly converts to hydrogel in the acidity of the stomach. The hydrogel enables a smooth transportation of the drink through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed.
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the content of each sachet with 500 ml of water and shake well until dissolved. Be as accurate as possible, the functionality depends on this ratio. Consume the sports drink minutes before, during and or directly after activity.
Maurten Drink Mixes come with a Maurten water bottle with 500ml measurement line for easy accuracy when mixing the sports drinks.

Great stomach-friendly carb drink
I haven't gone on a bike ride of more than an hour without a bottle of this in years. This has become my go-to carb drink for energy supplement in between snacks. I usually ride with two bottles so I'll have this and water or a hydration mix of some kind. I always try to eat little and often but I'm a bit clumsy trying to get back to my pocket and then open something and then eat it. It's even worse in the winter with gloves on. So I wind up not eating in between stops. Enter Maurten, which keeps me fueled sip-by-sip with little hits of calories.
I've tried some other carb/fuel drinks but generally prefer these. The generic semi-sweet taste is difficult to get tired of and whatever science magic they've built into this that makes it turn into a gel in your stomach to keep your digestive system settled really works for me, and I have an incredibly weak and picky stomach. I always go for the lower calorie 180 version because that's really enough for me. I'm not depending on this as my sole source of fuel, though I think for a mid-length ride it could probably do the trick. On the spendy side but but the cost per-pack is about average or even lower compared to Tailwind, SiS, Hammer, or Skratch competitors.
