Harnessing this, Maurten developed a method to create hydrogels using natural ingredients—alginate (from seaweed) and pectin (from fruit fibre). These components form a protective hydrogel structure, effectively encapsulating and delivering carbohydrates and salt through the stomach to the intestine, where they dissolve for optimal absorption and energy."}]}]}

When consumed, this pH-sensitive liquid transforms into a hydrogel upon contact with stomach acidity, shielding carbohydrates and salt from breaking down prematurely. As it reaches the intestine, the hydrogel dissolves, releasing water, salt, and carbohydrates for quick absorption. The Maurten Drink Mix ensures smooth transportation, delivering a fast, efficient energy boost your body can tolerate during intense performance."}]}]}
