Maurten Gel Mix 480- Single Sachet

A new format for a new kind of hydrogel fuelling: loose gel

Maurten Gel Mix 480 sits in its own category, not quite a drink, not quite a gel. It's a loose gel, thicker than a drink mix and looser than a traditional gel, built specifically for efforts where carb demand is high and fuelling needs to hold steady for hours. Think marathons, ultras, or a full day in the mountains or the saddle.

Like the rest of the Maurten line, it's built on Hydrogel Technology. Once it hits the acidity of your stomach, it forms a hydrogel that encapsulates the carbohydrate and helps carry it through for smoother absorption, so you can take in more fuel without the GI distress that usually comes with pushing carb intake higher.

Each sachet delivers 120 g of carbohydrate when mixed with 200 ml of water, giving you a high-density carb format in a single, easy-to-carry package. That means less bulk and fewer separate gels or bottles to manage on longer efforts.

This isn't a replacement for Maurten Gel or Drink Mix, it's a new option alongside them. Some athletes will find loose gel is the format that fits their gut, their pacing, and their race best.
