These are properties that can be beneficial in sports performance. The DRINK MIX 320 CAF 100 can be used for building up caffeine levels – on its own or together with other caffeine sources like coffee pre-training or along with Maurten Caffeinated Gel to achieve sufficient caffeine levels during activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaurten's \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16.38px;\"\u003eCaffeinated\u003c\/span\u003e Difference \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaffeine is notorious for its bitter taste, so most companies have to use too little caffeine (25mg) to be effective or they have to add artificial flavors and acids to hide the bitterness. But, added artificial flavors won't help you go faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaurten has spent over 2 years developing their new caffeinated gel and using their Hydrogel Technology they have been able to encapsulate both the caffeine and carbohydrates so you get a true GEL with low bitterness, low sweetness, and an effective level of carbs and caffeine to boost energy and endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow Does Maurten Work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen mixing DRINK MIX 320 CAF 100 with water you get a hydrogel sports drink containing a high concentration of carbohydrates and caffeine. The drink instantly converts to hydrogel in the acidity of the stomach. The hydrogel enables a smooth transportation of the drink through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt, and carbohydrates are absorbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions for Mixing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix the content of each sachet with 500 ml of water and shake well until dissolved (30-60s).

One DRINK MIX 320 CAF 100 sachet, mixed with 500 ml of water contains 80 grams of carbohydrates without any stomach distress.  Many athletes are pushing well into the 100 grams per hour after gradually elevating their tolerance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Caffeine make me go faster?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. In the majority of scientific studies, caffeine has been shown to increase athletic performance. Caffeine is a well known ergogenic aid or legal performance enhancer. Some studies have shown increases in VO2Max, but more recent research has shown it has a greater impact on reducing fatigue and performance decline and maintaining mental acuity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much Caffeine do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe answer depends on how many espressos you have each morning! Habitual caffeine users will need more caffeine to get the same effects, but 100mg of Caffeine should be enough for regular users, and is still an appropriate dose for non-habitual caffeine users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scientific studies range from 200mg of caffeine to 600mg of caffeine per workout. A general rule of thumb is that 1 mg to 1.5mg per pound of body weight is an effective dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does Caffeine last?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCaffeine is rapidly absorbed and is in your bloodstream within 5 to 15 minutes of ingestion.
