The Secret Sports Drink Revealed
"I won the Chicago Marathon on Maurten"
"I was 2nd place in the 2017 Tour de France with Maurten"
"I just won the Boston Marathon and Maurten was my fuel"
A drink that will instantly make your faster?
We were skeptical. We were hearing rumors of a new secret drink that Nike used in their Breaking 2 effort and that major marathon winners were using but not talking about.
After many phone calls and emails we discovered the secret company in Sweden making this drink. We jumped on a plane and went to meet the CEO and learn what it was all about.

how it works
Jetfuel for your muscles
Carbs are the "jet fuel" of our muscles. We store it as glycogen in our muscles and it gets depleted as we workout. After about 40 minutes of sustained work, must people are glycogen depleted and their performance drops.
The problem is that your stomach can't digest enough carbs to keep up with the work that your muscle are doing. A decade ago, drinks tried this, but athletes would get nauseous and have what is politely know as "gastric distress". Not good.
This is what Maurten has solved, with what is called hydrogel.

This is what Maurten has solved, with what is called hydrogel.
| The secret is hydrogel Maurten starts out as a liquid in your water bottle like any other sports drink. When it reaches the acidity of your stomach it instantly converts to a hydrogel. The hydrogel takes all the carbohydrates in the liquid and encapsulates them. The hydrogel then passes through your stomach to the intestine where the carbohydrates are absorbed at a much faster rate than in your stomach. Plus you won't feel sick or nauseas. It is just like drinking a regular sports drink. |
See how it in action
See how it Maurten goes instantly from a liquid to a hydrogel when exposed to higher acidity.
“
The use of hydrogels is widely considered the next generation of sports nutrition and has already been used with great effect by our team. The first day the team used Maurten we won the stage at the Giro D'Italia, it only got better, and 6 weeks later we finished on the podium at the Tour de France.
It's like getting a mid-air refueling for your muscles.
Athletes are setting records everywhere. Drinking Maurten allows them to maintain their peak performance for hours by refueling their glycogen levels while working out.

How to use Maurten
1
Choose between 160 & 320
Choose 160 if you workout is under 60 mins or it is hot and you will drink more than 2 bottles. Otherwise choose 320.
2
Mix it with 500ml of water
This is really important. Only use 500 ml (or 17 oz) of water. Your bottle is probably bigger. Do NOT fill it up. Only use this much or it will effect how well the hydrogel will from.
3
Shake it and give it a minute
Don't just shake it and gulp away. It needs more time to dissolve. Shake it for 10 to 20 seconds. Then give it 1 to 2 minutes to fully dissolve.
4
Sip it, don't chug it.
While you should always take small frequent sips, we find it is even more true with Maurten.
5
Also great for recovery
Post workout we are seeing most of the top Pros using a bottle of 320 to quickly replenish glycogen.
Update: We have Maurten available now
Supplies are limited, but we have received a new supply of Maurten from Sweden. TheFeed.com is the exclusive seller of Maurten in the USA.
