MAURTEN GEL MIX 480

More Carbohydrates. More Flexibility. Fuel for the Long Run.

The Maurten Gel Mix 480 introduces a new approach to endurance fuelling, combining high carbohydrate delivery with the convenience and flexibility of a flask-based system.

Powered by Maurten's patented Hydrogel Technology, each sachet delivers an impressive 120 g of carbohydrates when mixed with 200 ml of water, providing a concentrated energy source for athletes tackling long-distance training sessions, endurance races and demanding competition schedules.

With a unique consistency that sits between Maurten Drink Mix and Maurten Gel, Gel Mix 480 offers a practical alternative to traditional sports drinks and individual energy gels. Its smooth, semi-liquid texture allows athletes to carry and consume a substantial amount of carbohydrates from a single flask, adjusting their intake throughout exercise.

Designed to work with the Maurten Gel Mix Flask 350 ml, this innovative fuelling system makes it easier to manage carbohydrate intake while running, cycling or competing over challenging terrain.

Key Features

• 120 g of Carbohydrates per Sachet: Concentrated carbohydrate delivery designed to support prolonged endurance exercise and demanding fuelling strategies.

• Patented Hydrogel Technology: A pH-sensitive formulation that transforms into a hydrogel in the acidic environment of the stomach, encapsulating carbohydrates as they pass through the digestive system.

• Unique Semi-Liquid Consistency: Thicker than Maurten Drink Mix but less viscous than Maurten Gel, offering an alternative texture for endurance fuelling.

• Flask-Based Fueling System: Specifically developed for use with the Maurten Gel Mix Flask 350 ml, allowing athletes to carry and consume fuel conveniently throughout exercise.

• Flexible Carbohydrate Intake: Enables athletes to distribute their carbohydrate consumption across a training session or race rather than relying exclusively on individual gel sachets.

• Neutral Taste: Contains no added flavorings, helping minimize flavour fatigue during extended endurance activities.

• Customizable Flavor: Compatible with Maurten Additions in Cola, Menthol, Orange and Apple.

• Minimalist Formulation: No added colors, preservatives or flavorings.

• Convenient Preparation: Simply mix one sachet with 200 ml of water.

• Prepare in Advance: Once mixed, Gel Mix 480 can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours.

Hydrogel Technology — Advanced Endurance Fueling

Maurten's patented Hydrogel Technology is designed to make high-carbohydrate fuelling more manageable during exercise.

When mixed with water, Gel Mix 480 forms a concentrated, semi-liquid solution with a consistency between a traditional sports drink and an energy gel.

Upon entering the acidic environment of the stomach, the formulation undergoes a pH-sensitive transformation, forming a hydrogel that encapsulates the carbohydrates.

The hydrogel then passes through the stomach before releasing the carbohydrates in the intestine, where they become available for absorption.

This process is designed to help athletes consume concentrated carbohydrate fuel while managing the gastrointestinal challenges sometimes associated with high carbohydrate intake.

120 g of Carbohydrates. One Flexible Fueling System.

Long-distance endurance performance requires consistent energy availability, particularly during extended training sessions and competitions.

Each sachet of Maurten Gel Mix 480 delivers 120 g of carbohydrates, giving athletes greater flexibility when planning and managing their carbohydrate intake.

Rather than consuming multiple individual gels, athletes can carry a substantial amount of fuel in a single soft flask and take smaller, controlled amounts throughout their activity.

This approach is particularly useful for:

• Long-distance running and trail running.

• Marathon and ultramarathon training.

• Road cycling and gravel endurance rides.

• Triathlon and multisport events.

• Extended training sessions requiring structured carbohydrate intake.

• Athletes looking for an alternative to conventional energy gels and sports drinks.

Fueling flexibility: The full 120 g does not need to be consumed at once. Athletes can distribute their intake according to their individual fuelling strategy, exercise intensity and gastrointestinal tolerance.

A New Consistency. A Different Way to Fuel.

Maurten Gel Mix 480 introduces a distinctive texture to the Maurten fuelling range.

Thicker than Drink Mix. Smoother and more fluid than Gel.

This intermediate consistency allows athletes to consume concentrated carbohydrates directly from a soft flask, without the need to prepare a large-volume sports drink or carry multiple individual gel sachets.

The result is a flexible fuelling format designed for athletes who value convenience, consistency and control over their carbohydrate intake.

Designed for the Maurten Gel Mix Flask 350 ml

Gel Mix 480 has been specifically developed for use with the Maurten Gel Mix Flask 350 ml, creating a practical, portable fuelling system for endurance athletes.

The flask features:

• 350 ml Capacity: Designed to accommodate the prepared Gel Mix 480.

• SpeedFill™ Cap: Allows quick and convenient filling and refilling.

• 200 ml Water Fill Line: Makes it easy to measure the correct amount of water for preparation.

• Bite Valve: Enables controlled consumption while moving.

• Soft, Flexible Construction: Suitable for carrying in a running vest, waist belt or jersey pocket.

• Endurance-Focused Design: Built for convenient fuelling during long sessions and challenging terrain.

Although Gel Mix 480 can be prepared in other soft flasks or bottles, Maurten recommends its dedicated Gel Mix Flask 350 ml for optimal mixing, handling and consumption.

Gel Mix Flask 350 ml is a separate accessory unless explicitly included in the product listing.

Customize Your Fueling Experience

Long training sessions and races can make repeatedly consuming the same flavour challenging.

Maurten Gel Mix 480 features a neutral taste and can be combined with Maurten Additions, allowing athletes to customize their fuelling experience.

Available flavour options include:

• Cola

• Menthol

• Orange

• Apple

This flexibility helps introduce variety into endurance nutrition routines without changing the core Gel Mix fuelling format.

How to Use

1. Add 200 ml of water to the Maurten Gel Mix Flask 350 ml, using the dedicated fill line.

2. Empty the contents of one Gel Mix 480 sachet into the flask.

3. Secure the cap and mix thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved.

4. Consume gradually throughout your training session or race, according to your planned carbohydrate intake.

Storage

Once prepared, Gel Mix 480 can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours.

Always use a clean flask and follow appropriate food hygiene practices.

Fuelling Recommendation

Each prepared sachet provides 120 g of carbohydrates.

For example, an athlete targeting 90 g of carbohydrates per hour could distribute one prepared flask over approximately 80 minutes, provided this fits their overall nutrition plan.

Individual carbohydrate requirements and tolerance vary depending on exercise duration, intensity and training adaptation. Test your fuelling strategy during training before using it in competition.
