Hydrogels are widely used in the food industry, often as thickening and structural agents. A hydrogel is a structure of biopolymer and water with very small pores. Benefits: Drink Mix 320 is based on hydrogel technology. When mixed with water, it creates a sports drink that contains a high concentration of maltodextrin and fructose. The sports drink instantly turns into a hydrogel in the acidity of the stomach. The hydrogel allows the drink to move smoothly through the stomach to the intestine, where water, salt, and carbohydrates are absorbed. Instructions for use: One dose contains 80 grams of carbohydrates (500 ml) and provides hydration and energy. Mix each sachet with 500ml of water and shake well until dissolved. Be careful, you must use the correct ratio for the hydrogel technology to work.
