Maurten Gel Mix 480

Sold by the individual sachet.

Maurten Gel Mix 480 is a carbohydrate fuel for endurance sport based on Hydrogel Technology. It contains 120 grams of carbohydrates when combined with 200 ml of water. This is a new consistency: A different hydrogel fueling format with a texture thicker than Drink Mix and looser than the Gel — Gel Mix 480 can be adjusted to personal taste by combining with Additions.

Flask sold here.

Designed for fueling with Gel Mix Flask 350 ml to carry in a running vest, waist belt, or back pocket — equipped with a SpeedFill™ cap for fast refills and a bite valve to consume easily.

Over longer duration and longer distance, or the cumulative effort of daily training, the more your body will depend on the fuel you consume. Gel Mix 480 is for fueling the training and racing that demand more — the progressive weeks that demand consistency and commitment.

How does this differ from Maurten gels?

Gel 100 and Gel 160 are ready-to-use sachets — no preparation needed. Gel Mix 480 is a powder that must be mixed with water and prepared in a soft flask before using. The consistency is different — looser than the sachet gels. The Hydrogel Technology is the same. Athletes can use Additions with Gel Mix 480 to personalize the taste. Additions cannot be used with sachet gels.

Preparation:

The product is designed for 1 sachet per 200ml of water.

2. Fill the bottle with 200ml clean water (with up to 80 mg of calcium per liter of water).

5. Shake vigorously until the Gel Mix 480 is fully dissolved in the water, with no lumps or residual mix at the bottom of the flask.
