Maurten Gel Mix 480 gives you the opportunity to carry a large amount of carbohydrates in a single soft bottle. One sachet contains 120 grams of carbohydrates and is mixed with only 200 ml of water.
The product is designed for longer activities where energy needs to be supplied regularly over several hours. It is particularly suitable for ultra running, trail running, long-distance cycling, gravel, triathlon and other endurance sports.
Gel Mix 480 is a powder that needs to be mixed before use. Once the powder has dissolved, the mixture has a consistency between a sports drink and an energy gel. It can then be consumed in small amounts directly from a soft drink bottle.
The product is based on Maurtens Hydrogel Technology. The mixture is pH sensitive and forms a hydrogel when it comes into contact with the acidic environment of the stomach.
Gel Mix 480 has no added flavor, color or preservatives. The flavor can be varied with Maurten Additions in the flavors Apple, Cola, Orange or Menthol.

Each sachet provides 120 grams of carbohydrates when mixed with 200 ml of water.
This makes it easy to calculate how much you have consumed:
A quarter of the mixture provides about 30 g of carbohydrates
Half the mixture provides about 60 g of carbohydrates
Three-quarters provides about 90 g of carbohydrates
The entire mixture provides 120 g of carbohydrates
Please mark the bottle or learn how much each sip corresponds to before the competition. This way the mixture can be distributed evenly over the planned time.
The product is developed to be mixed in the Maurten Gel Mix Flask 350 ml .
Fill the bottle with exactly 200 ml of clean water.
Add Maurten Addition only when a flavoring is to be used.
Shake until any addition has dissolved.

Use water that contains no more than 80 mg of calcium per liter. Mineral-rich water with a higher calcium content may make the powder more difficult to dissolve.

Gel Mix 480 is pH sensitive. The ready-mixed product has a loose gel consistency in the bottle and forms a clearer hydrogel in the acidic environment of the stomach.
The hydrogel encapsulates the carbohydrates and transports them further through the stomach before they are absorbed in the intestine.
The same basic technology is used in Maurten Drink Mix, Gel 100 and Gel 160, but Gel Mix 480 offers a different format and a greater amount of carbohydrates per serving.
Gel Mix 480 contains no added flavor. The mixture gets its natural sweetness from maltodextrin and fructose.

Want to avoid strong flavors during long runs
Want to control the taste yourself
Gets tired of the same taste after several hours
