At Escapa, we know that nutrition during your cycling workouts is of the utmost importance. That’s why we’re introducing the exclusive Maurten nutrition brand, developed using natural ingredients and formulated with carbohydrates that your body can easily tolerate. Neutral flavor.
If you’re looking for hydration and a big energy boost, thisMaurten Isotonic Drink Mix 160 Single-Serve Pack is the product for you. One serving contains 40 grams of carbohydrates (500 ml). Use it before, during, and/or after physical activity.
Drink Mix 160 is a beverage featuring hydrogel technology. When the powder is mixed with water, it creates a sports drink containing a high concentration of maltodextrin and fructose. The sports drink instantly turns into a hydrogel once it comes into contact with stomach acid. The hydrogel allows for smooth and rapid transport of the drink to the intestine, where water, salt, and carbohydrates are quickly absorbed.
Ingredients
- Maltodextrin
- Fructose
- Pectin
- Sodium alginate
- Sodium chloride
New Ingredient
The new Drink Mix contains a minimal amount of sodium bicarbonate. Many sports drinks are acidic and can damage tooth enamel. Thanks to the sodium bicarbonate in Drink Mix, a neutral pH (no lower than pH 6) is maintained.
Easier to drink
Lower viscosity and improved texture: Drink Mix is now less thick, making it easier to consume more carbohydrates during workouts and Carreras.
More reliable even with hard water
Drink Mix powder is more tolerant of high calcium levels in water—specifically, 80 mg of calcium per liter—so it dissolves more easily. With Drink Mix, your hydration is more reliable, even when you’re on the road for a Carrera and have to drink water that’s different from what you’re used to.
The science behind the product
A visceral reaction Drink Mix is a pH-responsive liquid that reacts when mixed with 500 ml of water. When it comes into contact with stomach acids, an instant reaction occurs that turns it into a hydrogel. This hydrogel encapsulates the carbohydrates, allowing the fuel to pass through the stomach and into the intestines. Once there, the hydrogel dissolves, releasing the carbohydrates so the body can absorb them.
Inner Well-being Comfort matters. During exercise, consuming large amounts of liquid can cause a sloshing sensation in the stomach, leading to discomfort and limiting performance. By transforming from a liquid to a hydrogel, Drink Mix makes it easier to consume liquid fuel with high concentrations of carbohydrates while maintaining the same level of performance during high-intensity exercise.
