Details about MAURTEN Drink Mix 160

Drink Mix 160 sets new standards in endurance sports. It was specifically developed to provide athletes with liquid energy during high-intensity training sessions or competitions: Dissolved in 500 ml of water, the mix delivers 40 grams of carbohydrates. For many athletes, consuming carbohydrates during an intense session upsets their stomach. That’s why we developed our hydrogel technology. This innovation encapsulates the carbohydrates and transports them safely through the stomach so they can be better absorbed by the body—for top performance right to the finish.

For a good feeling in your stomach 


When Drink Mix comes into contact with stomach acid, a hydrogel forms that encapsulates the carbohydrates, ensuring a comfortable feeling in the stomach even during strenuous workouts.

New ingredient

Drink Mix now contains a small amount of sodium bicarbonate. Many sports drinks are acidic and can erode tooth enamel. The sodium bicarbonate in Drink Mix helps maintain a neutral pH (i.e., not below pH 6). 

Smoother. Better.

MAURTEN has improved the consistency of Drink Mix: it is now less viscous. This makes it even easier for athletes to consume more carbohydrates during training or a race. 

Even more reliable, even with hard water

The new formula has a higher tolerance for high calcium content in water—up to 80 mg of calcium per liter—ensuring better solubility of the powder. This guarantees optimal energy intake with Drink Mix even on the way to the next competition and when using unfamiliar water sources.

Uses of MAURTEN Drink Mix 160

• Before training/competition: Maurten can be used as a carbohydrate source before competitions. A simple option is to drink two Drink Mix 160 s the day before the competition.
• During training/competition: The amount of carbohydrates needed depends on various factors. One of them is the duration of the activity. For running or cycling sessions lasting 60 minutes or less, the recommended intake is up to 40 grams of carbohydrates at the start of the physical activity. For short training sessions, one Mix Drink 160 is therefore sufficient.
• After training/competition: After training, the body needs carbohydrates for effective recovery. A Dink Mix 160 can be consumed within 30 minutes after the end of the training session.
• Maurtens’ recommended use: Mixthe content of each packet with 500 ml of water and shake well until dissolved. Make sure the ratio is correct so that the hydrogel technology works. The mixture is designed for water with a calcium content of less than 80 mg/L. Higher levels may impair dissolution.

MAURTEN Addition - Add a flavor to your drink mix

MAURTEN Addition is a “palate reset.” It was developed to give athletes the option to enhance Drink Mix 320 or 160 with a flavor. Repeated consumption of carbohydrate energy drinks—even those with a neutral flavor—can lead to flavor fatigue. Symptoms may include a lack of motivation to stick to a planned nutrition plan, nausea, or an impaired sense of taste. For athletes affected by taste fatigue, this can lead to reduced energy intake and an energy deficit. MAURTEN Addition allows athletes to vary their energy intake according to their taste preferences without compromising the function of the hydrogel technology.

Facts about MAURTEN Addition

• Additives are not food supplements. Additions offer the possibility of adding flavor to the otherwise tasteless MAURTEN product. They can be used to create sensory variety without compromising the function of the hydrogel.
• UseMAURTEN Addition in combination with Drink Mix 160, Drink Mix 320, or Drink Mix 320 CAF 100.
• One packet of Addition is intended to be mixed with one packet of Drink Mix —however, athletes can use more or less depending on their preference.
• One packet contains: 1.6–1.9 g of carbohydrates, 7–8 calories.
• Additions was specifically developed for use with MAURTEN sports nutrition based on hydrogel technology—the energy platform behind some of the greatest achievements in history.

What is taste fatigue?

The length of the race and consistent training require a regular energy intake. However, repeated consumption of the same energy drink diminishes its appeal, even if the flavor is neutral. This monotony can undermine motivation and reduce carbohydrate intake, which can lead to an energy deficit and a decline in performance. This can limit the athlete’s nutrition strategy and result in a drop in performance. MAURTEN has listened to athlete feedback, identified where flavor could become an issue, and developed a solution that puts the athlete first. Adding an MAURTEN Addition to Drink Mix is a combination designed to overcome flavor limitations—so athletes can continue to fuel up with hydrogel technology.
