| Orange Flavor Carbohydrate Intensive Energy Powder Drink Mix for Athletes | Electrolytes, Hydration, Prevents Muscle Cramps

Tastes nasty

I now have about a year's worth of experience with this product. I'm a race director for a century gran fondo cycling event, and we had CarbSport at several of our aid stations last year. We had a lot left over from the event last year, so I used pretty much all of it myself. I think first and foremost it is an amazing recovery product. I would put one scoop in a bottle and drink it after a workout, and have tons of energy for the day. I also love it as an energy source during events. I used 2 scoops in my water bottles (I'm a lightweight in general) and did 7 1/2 hours worth of endurance racing in a mountain biking/trail running event in Moab in April. My history is checkered with events in which I cramped severely. It turns out it was all due to my ignorance of my body's needs for fuel and water during exercise, and lack of discipline in remembering to fuel and hydrate. Having a product like this fuels me well enough and keeps me hydrated without having to think about too many things other than to focus on the road or trail ahead of me, and keeping my effort level where I can go the distance. All I have to do is remember to take a swig or two every few minutes and it gives me all that I need. I also like that they guys at CarbSport are avid racers and endurance athletes themselves, so you know they want to produce the best product they can. I have never had it give me stomach distress, for which I am supremely grateful.
