Maurten Additions – Flavour Sachets for Drink Mix 320 and 160
Maurten Additions are single-use flavour sachets designed to reset the palate during long training sessions or races. Each 2g sachet adds a distinct taste to 500ml of Drink Mix 320 or Drink Mix 160 without affecting how Hydrogel Technology works. Available in Apple, Cola, Menthol, and Orange.
Key Benefits
- Tackles flavour fatigue — Repeated exposure to the same taste can kill the appetite to keep fuelling. Additions give you a different flavour to work with so you stay on your plan.
- No impact on Hydrogel Technology — The sachet adds taste only. The function of Maurten's Hydrogel Technology is unchanged.
- Keeps your fuelling strategy intact — Flavour fatigue can lead to reduced intake and an energy deficit mid-race. A palate reset removes that risk.
- Four distinct flavours — Apple, Cola, Menthol, and Orange. Use one or rotate across a session depending on what your stomach wants.
- Minimal ingredients — Each sachet contains maltodextrin and natural (or natural and artificial) flavour. That's it.
Why Flavour Fatigue Is Worth Taking Seriously
Even a neutral-tasting fuel can become unappealing after hours of repeated consumption. When that happens, athletes tend to drink less, take in fewer carbohydrates, and arrive at the final stretch of a race or session already behind on energy. Additions exist specifically for that point in a race or long ride when your Drink Mix stops tasting like anything you want to swallow. A 2g sachet is a small intervention with a direct effect on whether you keep fuelling or start skipping bottles.
Directions for Use
Prepare Drink Mix 320 or Drink Mix 160 in 500ml of water and allow it to fully dissolve. Add one sachet of Additions to the bottle, shake to combine, and consume as part of your planned fuel strategy. One sachet per 500ml serving.
Suitable For
Athletes using Maurten Drink Mix 320 or Drink Mix 160 who want to manage flavour fatigue across longer training sessions or race-day efforts. Additions are compatible with Maurten's Hydrogel Technology products only.

When should I use Additions during a race or training session?
Maurten recommends applying a palate reset where necessary and as required, based on your individual response to flavour fatigue. There is no fixed timing. Use a sachet when your current flavour stops being appealing enough to keep drinking on schedule.
