WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT MAURTEN’S SPORTS DRINK?
Normally, as soon as the concentration of carbohydrate in a drink is increased, gastric emptying slows down – resulting in less fluid and carbohydrate delivery to the body. The stomach problems caused by this have been a significant issue for many athletes.
At Maurten, we’ve found a way to avoid these problems by using hydrogel technology. This has enabled us to develop sports energy products with high carbohydrate concentrations. Some of the best runners in the world are now using our products, both during training and races.
HOW DOES THE HYDROGEL SPORTS DRINK WORK?
The sports drink instantly converts to hydrogel in the acidity of the stomach. The hydrogel enables a smooth transportation of the drink through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt and carbohydrates are released and absorbed. Giving you a fast and large supply of energy that your body can tolerate. Find out what Hydrogel is here?
WHY USE MAURTEN’S SPORTS FUELS?
The hydrogel technology encapsulates high concentrations of carbohydrates to fuel during activity. We only use food-graded ingredients and there are no added flavors, colorants or preservatives. Nothing more and nothing less than what’s needed.
