about this product.

Maurten Drink Mix 160 is a carbohydrate-based sports drink mix designed to fuel endurance exercise. It uses hydrogel technology — a concept built around alginate and pectin forming a gel-like matrix in the stomach — to deliver carbohydrates smoothly and with minimal gastrointestinal disruption. That matters because gut discomfort is one of the most common reasons endurance athletes lose pace mid-effort.

The mix is intended for use during training or competition, particularly sessions where sustained carbohydrate availability is the priority. It suits runners, cyclists, triathletes, and anyone doing continuous moderate-to-high intensity work. Unlike many sports drinks that lean on artificial flavours or heavy sweeteners, Maurten's approach is notably neutral in taste, which makes it easier to consume repeatedly across a long session without palate fatigue.

The "160" in the name refers to the carbohydrate content of the prepared drink, giving you a clear sense of the energy load you are working with. This transparency is useful for athletes who track fuelling with the same precision they bring to training load.

Maurten has built a strong reputation in elite distance running and cycling — the brand has appeared at the sharp end of major marathon and road cycling events. That pedigree reflects formulation choices that prioritise function and tolerability over marketing novelty. For athletes who have struggled with conventional sports drinks, it is often the first option our practitioners suggest trialling.

how to take it

i.

Mix the contents of one serving with water as directed on the packaging. Consume during exercise — it is designed for use mid-session rather than as a pre-workout drink. Follow the preparation instructions carefully, as the hydrogel forms correctly only when mixed at the specified concentration.

frequently asked.

What does the '160' in the name refer to?

It refers to the carbohydrate content of the prepared drink. Knowing this figure allows athletes to plan their fuelling strategy with precision, particularly across longer events or training blocks.

How does hydrogel technology differ from a standard sports drink?

Standard sports drinks deliver carbohydrates and electrolytes in a liquid solution. Maurten's approach uses alginate and pectin to form a gel-like consistency in the stomach, which is thought to support smoother carbohydrate absorption and reduce the likelihood of gastrointestinal discomfort during effort.

When during exercise should I take this?

Drink Mix 160 is formulated for consumption during exercise, not before. Check the packaging for specific timing and serving guidance relative to your session length and intensity.

Is this suitable if I have a sensitive stomach during training?

The hydrogel formulation is specifically designed with gut comfort in mind, and it is often recommended for athletes who have found conventional sports drinks cause bloating or cramping. That said, individual responses vary — trialling it in training before a race is always sensible.

Does it contain any flavouring or sweeteners?

Maurten Drink Mix is known for its minimal, neutral flavour profile. Check the packaging for a full ingredient and allergen breakdown specific to this product.

The first adrenal support that made a quick difference.

4 days ago

Gentle on a sensitive stomach, and I feel like myself again. I had tried two other glandulars before this and neither sat right.

MRVerified Buyer

Steadier mornings within a fortnight.

1 week ago

I was sceptical about glandulars, but my mid-afternoon crash has genuinely eased. One capsule with breakfast and I forget about it.

ALVerified Buyer

Subtle, but real.

2 weeks ago

Not a stimulant, which is exactly what I wanted. It took about ten days, then I realised I wasn’t dreading the afternoon any more.

SKVerified Buyer

My clinician recommended it.

3 weeks ago

Bought after a blood panel flagged a flat cortisol curve. Easy to take, no jitters, and the sourcing is refreshingly transparent.

TPVerified Buyer

Recovery feels faster.

1 month ago

Training hard through a stressful stretch and this has helped me bounce back between sessions. Already on my second bottle.

DVVerified Buyer

Does what it says.

1 month ago

No frills, one ingredient, a sensible dose. I appreciate that it is designed to be used for a season rather than forever.
