Gel Mix 480 is Maurten's powder-based hydrogel fuel, sitting between Drink Mix and Gel. One 125 g sachet dissolved in 200 ml of water carries 120 g of carbohydrate in a texture thicker than a drink mix and looser than a gel. It is pH-sensitive, so it turns into a true gel in the acidity of the stomach, encapsulating the carbohydrate and carrying it through to be absorbed. Built to be mixed in the Gel Mix Flask 350 ml and carried in a vest, waist belt or short pocket.

Why You'll Love This
One flask, 120 g of carbs
A single 125 g sachet mixed into 200 ml of water carries 120 g of carbohydrate, so one full flask covers an hour at the highest fueling rates and takes the place of several gels.
Hydrogel that works in the stomach
Gel Mix 480 is pH-sensitive. It stays liquid in the flask and turns into a true gel in the acidity of the stomach, which encapsulates the carbohydrate and carries it through to be absorbed.
Built for flask fueling
Designed around the Gel Mix Flask 350 ml with its SpeedFill cap and bite valve. It sits in a running vest, waist belt or jersey pocket and drinks easily on rough ground. Unflavoured, so you can add a Maurten Addition when flavour fatigue sets in.
