Maurten Gel Mix 480

The Maurten Gel Mix 480 is a godsend for ultra-runners, long-distance cyclists and triathletes. Whereas you’d normally fill your pockets with small gels, this mix allows you to carry 120 grams of carbohydrates in a single soft flask. That’s 480 kcal of energy. So, with a single prepared flask, you’ll have more than an hour’s worth of maximum fuel, depending on the intensity of your effort. You mix one large sachet with 200 millilitres of water. The result is a liquid gel that’s thicker than a normal sports drink, but thinner and easier to drink than a standard gel.

Are you looking for a quick energy boost for a shorter ride and don’t fancy mixing anything? Then take a look at the ready-to-drink Maurten Gel 100 or Gel 160. We recommend the Gel Mix 480 specifically for athletes who are out for really long periods and want to carry their fuel in a compact and organised way.

Hydrogel technology
The mixture is still liquid inside the bottle. As soon as it enters the acidic environment of your stomach, it turns into a solid gel. This encapsulates the carbohydrates, allowing them to be safely transported to your intestines without causing stomach upset, for rapid absorption.

Pure ingredients
The mix consists of just a few basic ingredients such as maltodextrin, fructose, pectin and alginate. It contains no unnecessary colourings or flavourings.

Ingredients
Maltodextrin, fructose, gelling agents (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, pectin), acidity regulator (sodium bicarbonate).

Designed for use during intense training sessions or competitions lasting longer than two hours. It is best to carry the mixture in a flexible soft flask with a capacity of at least 250 to 350 ml.

Not intended for short or gentle rides lasting less than an hour, as one serving contains an unnecessarily high amount of energy for such rides.

Please note: the powder does not mix well with water that contains extremely high levels of calcium (more than 80 mg per litre).

Preparing the Gel Mix requires great precision. Pour 200 millilitres of water into your soft flask and only then add the powder from the sachet. Shake vigorously until all the powder has dissolved completely. Leave the mix to stand for five minutes before drinking it. This ensures the hydrogel has the perfect drinkable consistency!

• Train your gut! Your body needs to get used to an extremely high intake of 120 grams of carbohydrates per hour, so build this up gradually and step by step in your training sessions.

• In addition to this hydrogel, make sure you drink plenty of plain water or an electrolyte drink from a water bottle. The gel mainly provides pure energy, not extra fluid.

• Feel free to add some flavour to this mix; you can add Maurten Additions if you’d prefer not to have a completely neutral taste.

Please note
• This product is not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
• Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
• Keep out of reach of young children.
