just got a box of maurten 320 drink mix through to give it a try in advance of my 24 hour race in july.
gives 80g of carbs in 500ml sized drink, no added flavour but apparently is very sweet. designed to turn into a hydrogel when it comes in contact with the ph levels in your gut to help you absorb/digest it properly without any gastric distress.
last year I was very poor at taking on fuel during my ultras and ended up probably having a harder time than I needed to towards the end. only thing I was good at was drinking water/nuun so figure this might be a better compromise than taking gels every 30-45 minutes.
