Maurten drink mix works really well with my slightly sensitive stomach. Only issue is it’s so expensive… Noting that there are only 5 ingredients: Maltodextrin Fructose Pectin Sodium Alginate Sodium Chloride, All of which are readily available to buy separately on the cheap; Does anyone know…

this isn’t Maurten it is just generic sugar water. at this point just put cane sugar in your water bottle and call it a day

I wish I had the stomach for 90g of table sugar per hour. It would sure make life easier!

I tried 100gx3 of table sugar over a 3 hour ride on Sunday…yeah…i didn’t sleep too good that night.

I just run sugar + some lemon. Sugar is .17 per 100g. Lemon is .53 per 100g. Each bottle I mix up contains 300g of carbs so comes to <70c per bottle. I do also add some salt but have not looked at the cost recently. Compared to even the cheapest of drink mixes it’s a tiny fraction of the cost p…

I think the gut training is a gradual build up over time. I recently did 80/hour straight sugar for 4 hours no problem. I don’t think I can make use of any more given my power output. I’ve been taking sugar for thr last three months starting at about 50/hour.

Yeah, I’m OK with 80g as well. Maybe I should have tried 90 before 100 lol. But I was at home on the trainer so I figured why not?! Stupid is as stupid does :sob::rofl:

I personally have no issues with 120g/hr+ with just cane sugar, I personally don’t use salt except for taste and thirst drive like maurten and the literature concludes there is …

Maurten has found a sugar that isn’t damaging to dental enamel? Interested in this bridge I have for sale?

There is no benefit to using Pectin and Sodium Alginate.

No performance benefits, but if either or both help you tolerate it, then adding them for that purpose… :man_shrugging:t2:

I have a 5hr ride planned for tomorrow. If I stick to my intended fueling I’ll go through ~$48 of Maurten products. If I make a habit of this diy drinks may be the way to go
