Gel énergétique Maurten Mix 480

Maurten Gel Mix 480 revolutionises sports nutrition thanks to its Hydrogel Technology, an innovative technology that delivers a very high amount of carbohydrates whilst ensuring excellent digestive tolerance. Each sachet contains 120 g of carbohydrates, to be mixed with 200 ml of water, to create a unique texture: thicker than an energy drink, but more fluid than a traditional gel. Designed for use with the Maurten Gel Mix Flask 350 ml, it offers a practical solution for carrying a substantial energy reserve in a compact format, ideal for long cycle rides, ultra-trails, marathons or triathlons.

Once in the stomach, the hydrogel forms naturally on contact with gastric acid to encapsulate the carbohydrates and facilitate their transport to the intestine, where they are efficiently absorbed. With no added flavourings, colourings or preservatives, the Mix 480 Gel can be customised using Maurten Additions (Cola, Orange, Apple or Menthol) to vary the flavours and prevent taste fatigue during prolonged exertion. Designed for demanding athletes, it enables them to tailor their nutritional strategy precisely and ensure a constant energy supply during both intensive training sessions and competitions.
