Great Stuff! Watch out for the bloated tummy!

Everything is true that is stated in all these other reviews. It's great stuff and works well. I've never had any cramping problems, etc... The tablet format is the best, easiest way to carry your electrolytes with you.
In order to get nuun into tablet form and make it the right amount of sweet they had to use sorbitol (think sugerfree gum or apple juice). Some people mentioned a light carbonation. What they tasted is the sorbitol effect and not carbonation.
When first using nuun it might take a while for your body to get used to the sorbitol. Sorbitol is used as a laxative as it gathers water into your large intestine thus inducing bowel movements. So that burping, bloated feeling you get when you try out nuun hopefully will pass as you get more accustomed to it. Just stay close to a bathroom during your workouts & avoid that hip pack in the mean time. Enjoy!!!
