DRINK MIX 160 from Swedish brand Maurten is a carbohydrate drink mix built on Hydrogel Technology — the drink gels in the stomach to carry a high carbohydrate load through to the gut. It is a fuelling powder, not a caffeine drink: maltodextrin and fructose with sodium, no caffeine, no preservatives or artificial flavours. Informed Sport certified, so every batch is screened against the banned-substances list.
