Maurten is world-renowned for its neutral, "clean" taste, but during ultra-endurance events, even the best fuel can become monotonous. The Maurten Addition 6-Pack is specifically engineered to solve this. These flavour packets allow you to customise your hydration on the fly, offering four distinct options—Orange, Apple, Cola, and Menthol—to provide a much-needed sensory shift.
Unlike traditional flavourings, Maurten Additions are scientifically formulated to integrate seamlessly with Maurten’s patented Hydrogel Technology. This means you get the same high-efficiency carbohydrate delivery and gastrointestinal comfort you expect, but with a burst of flavour that keeps your mind engaged and your motivation high during the hardest kilometres of a race.
Combats Flavour Fatigue: Specifically designed to reset the palate and prevent the "sickly" sensation that can occur with repetitive fueling.
Hydrogel Compatible: Formulated to mix perfectly with Drink Mix 160 or 320 without breaking down the hydrogel structure or impacting absorption.
Four Flavours Available: Choose from Orange, Apple, Cola, or Menthol to suit your personal preference and race conditions.
Convenient 6-Pack: Compact, lightweight sachets that are easy to carry in a vest or jersey pocket for mid-race customisation.
Calculated Fueling: Allows for a highly personalised nutrition strategy where taste is a tool for mental performance, not just an afterthought.

Ultra-Endurance Athlete: Ideal for Ironman, marathons, or 100km trail runs where you are consuming fuel for 4+ hours.
Sensitive Palate: If you struggle with the "sweet" or neutral build-up of sports drinks, these provide a sharp, refreshing reset.
Maurten Fanatic: You love the performance of the Hydrogel but sometimes miss the variety found in other brands.
Hot Weather Racer: The Menthol and Orange flavours are particularly effective for providing a "cooling" or citrus hit when temperatures rise.
Short Session Trainer: If your workouts are under 90 minutes, flavour fatigue is rarely an issue, and standard water or mix is usually sufficient.
Strict Neutralists: If you genuinely prefer the original, unflavoured Maurten profile, these are an unnecessary addition to your kit.
Non-Maurten Users: These are specifically balanced for Maurten Drink Mixes; using them with other brands may result in an overly sweet or unbalanced taste.
The Menthol flavour is a secret weapon for hot, humid races. Menthol has been shown to provide a "thermal sensation" of cooling, which can lower your perceived exertion when your core temperature is climbing. Add a Menthol sachet to your 320 Mix at the halfway mark of a summer race to refresh your brain and your body simultaneously! To ensure a perfect mix, always dissolve your Drink Mix 160/320 in 500ml of water first, then add the Addition sachet and give it one final shake.
