80g of Carbohydrate. 100mg of Caffeine. Mix with 500ml Water.
Maurten Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 combines 80g of carbohydrate with 100mg of caffeine in one drink. It is designed for longer training sessions and endurance events where you need a substantial amount of fuel in a bottle.
Mix the complete sachet with exactly 500ml of water. When the drink comes into contact with stomach acid, Maurten's Hydrogel Technology transforms it into a hydrogel that encapsulates the carbohydrates and caffeine before carrying them through the stomach.
Maurten Hydrogel Technology
Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 uses maltodextrin and fructose as its carbohydrate sources, in a 1:0.7 maltodextrin-to-fructose ratio. Sodium alginate and pectin help form the hydrogel structure once the drink reaches the acidity of the stomach.
The drink has a neutral flavour rather than the strong sweetness found in many high-carbohydrate sports drinks. That can make the large carbohydrate serving easier to use during longer training sessions and races.
Mix It Correctly
Empty the complete sachet into 500ml of water and shake well until fully dissolved. Do not split the sachet or alter the water quantity, as the product is formulated around this mixing ratio.
Use clean water and avoid adding electrolyte tablets, drink powders or other ingredients to the same bottle. If you need additional electrolytes or fluids, carry them separately.
When to Use It
Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 can be used before or during longer endurance sessions. With 80g of carbohydrate in one bottle, it makes more sense for long rides and events than short or easy training sessions.
The 100mg caffeine serving also needs to be included in your complete caffeine plan. Account for caffeine from coffee, gels and other sports products, and test the drink during training before using it in an important event.

Our Thoughts
This is one of Maurten's higher-carbohydrate options and is best treated as part of a proper fuelling plan. One bottle provides 80g of carbohydrate, making it useful when carrying enough food or gels is difficult.
The main things to get right are the mixing ratio and your total caffeine intake. Use the complete sachet with 500ml of water, practise with it during training and carry plain water separately when conditions require more fluid.
