Drink Mix 320 Caf 100 is a carbohydrate-based sports drink mix from Maurten, formulated with caffeine. Maurten's drink mixes are built around a hydrogel technology that encapsulates carbohydrates in a gel-like matrix within the gut, which is studied for its role in reducing gastrointestinal discomfort at the high carbohydrate intakes that endurance athletes require. The "320" in the name refers to the carbohydrate content per serving, making this a high-density fuel source designed for sustained, demanding output. The "Caf 100" indicates 100mg of caffeine per serving - a dose in line with what sports science commonly associates with improved focus, reduced perceived effort, and maintained performance in the later stages of a race or long training session.
This mix suits endurance athletes - runners, cyclists, triathletes - who need reliable, gut-friendly fuel alongside a caffeine boost timed to performance. It works particularly well in longer efforts where both energy availability and mental sharpness become limiting factors. The product is designed to be mixed with water and consumed during exercise rather than as an everyday drink.
Maurten has built a strong reputation among elite endurance athletes and their coaches precisely because the formulation prioritises gut tolerability at high carbohydrate loads - a practical concern that many standard sports drinks overlook. If your training or racing runs long, that distinction matters.
