Maurten Fuel Drink Mix 320: Single Packet

Drink Mix 160 delivers 40 g of carbs per 500ml, designed for steady, longer training sessions, while Drink Mix 320 delivers up to 80 g of carbs per 500 ml for race-day intensity. Both use Maurten's Hydrogel Technology, which encapsulates carbohydrates and carries them through the stomach to be absorbed, so you get smooth, low-GI-distress fuelling either way. In short: 160 is your training and lower-intensity companion, 320 is built for when you need to go hard.

Yes. The 1:500 ml ratio isn't just a suggestion, it's what triggers the Hydrogel Technology to work properly in your stomach. Using less water makes the mix too concentrated and can cause stomach upset, while using more dilutes the carb and sodium content per serving. Stick to the ratio for the smoothest results.

Drink Mix 320 contains 200 mg of sodium per serving. It's built primarily for carb delivery rather than heavy electrolyte replacement, so on especially hot or humid days, you may want to pair it with an additional electrolyte source to stay on top of sweat losses.

Yes, this is one of its biggest selling points. At 80 g of carbs per serving, most sports drinks would cause bloating or GI distress, but the Hydrogel Technology encapsulates the carbs and carries them through the stomach more smoothly. Many athletes who struggle with other high-carb drinks find Drink Mix 320 easier to tolerate, even during intense efforts.
