One sachet mixed with 200ml of water provides 120g of carbohydrate and 480 kcal, creating a unique consistency that's thicker than Maurten Drink Mix but looser than a ready-to-use Maurten Gel.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike Gel 100 and Gel 160, Gel Mix 480 is prepared in a soft flask and can be consumed progressively during exercise. Once it reaches the acidic environment of the stomach, the mixture forms a hydrogel, encapsulating the carbohydrates as they move through the stomach to be absorbed and used as fuel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGel Mix 480 uses a 1:0.7 maltodextrin-to-fructose carbohydrate ratio and is designed for athletes tackling longer distances, longer durations and demanding training blocks. It's particularly suited to runners, trail and ultra runners, cyclists and long-distance triathletes looking for a high-carbohydrate fuelling format that can be carried and consumed from a flask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120g carbohydrate per sachet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e480 kcal per serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMix with 200ml of water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-based endurance fuel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaurten Hydrogel Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecomes a hydrogel in the acidic environment of the stomach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexture sits between Drink Mix and Maurten Gel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:0.7 maltodextrin-to-fructose carbohydrate ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo added flavouring or colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for long-distance and long-duration endurance exercise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be combined with Maurten Addition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaffeine free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Prepare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd 200ml of clean water to a suitable soft flask.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf using Maurten Addition, add the Addition to the water first and shake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlowly add the entire sachet of Gel Mix 480 to the water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake vigorously until completely dissolved with no lumps or powder remaining at the bottom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes before consuming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGel Mix 480 is designed to be consumed progressively during long training sessions and races rather than taken as a single gel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach prepared sachet provides 120g of carbohydrate, allowing athletes to incorporate it into their individual carbohydrate and fuelling strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can also be used alongside other Maurten products when building a fuelling plan for high-intensity or long-duration training and competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutrition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer Sachet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnergy: 480 kcal\u003cbr\u003eCarbohydrate: 120g\u003cbr\u003eCaffeine: 0mg\u003cbr\u003eWater Required: 200ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaurten Hydrogel Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGel Mix 480 is pH-sensitive.
