Maurten Gel Mix 480 is an innovative and highly efficient carbohydrate fuel developed specifically for high-intensity, long-distance and long-endurance efforts across sports such as running, cycling, and triathlon. This pH-sensitive formula utilises advanced Hydrogel Technology to encapsulate carbohydrates, allowing them to pass smoothly through the acidic environment of the stomach and into the intestines, where they are efficiently absorbed as fuel without the common issues of stomach upset. Each single-serving sachet contains 120 grams of carbohydrates when mixed with 200 mL of water, providing a high-energy density that is easy to ingest and gentler on the digestive system. The product is designed for use with Gel Mix Flask 350mL, which facilitates convenient mixing and consumption during a race or training session. Delivered as a white, odourless powder, this Gel Mix 480 contains no added flavour, preservatives, or colour for a clean, non-obtrusive taste. However, for those who experience flavour fatigue during long workouts, this fuel can be combined with Maurten Additions, such as Cola, Menthol, Orange, or Apple, to introduce texture and taste variations.

Key Features:

  • Hydrogel Technology: Leverages pH sensitivity to convert into a gel in the stomach, encapsulating carbohydrates for efficient transport to the intestines and smoother absorption.
  • High Carbohydrate Load: Delivers 120 grams of carbohydrates per serving when mixed with 200 mL of water.
  • No Additives: Formulated without any added flavour, preservatives, or colour.
  • Optimal Fuel for Endurance: Specifically designed for long-distance and long-endurance efforts, meeting high carbohydrate demands during intense activity, including running, cycling, and triathlon.
  • Customisable Flavour: Can be combined with Maurten Additions (Cola, Menthol, Orange, or Apple) to prevent flavour fatigue.
  • Designed for Gel Mix Flask 350mL: Optimised for use with the Maurten 350mL Gel Mix Flask, creating a portable fuelling system for athletes.

Directions:

Pour 200 mL of water into the Gel Mix Flask. Add the contents of one sachet of Gel Mix to the flask. Seal and shake thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes. Consume directly from the flask during training or racing.
